Mobile time tracking for field service, trades, and project work – with app, GPS, and ERP integration.
Time Tracking System Development
Standard time tracking tools like Clockify, Toggl, or similar often fail with special requirements: offline capability on construction sites without cell reception, GPS proof for clients for accurate hourly billing, complex shift models with surcharges, or integration into your existing system landscape like DATEV or SAP. A custom time tracking system solves exactly these problems.
We develop mobile time tracking apps for field service and tradesthat work even without internet and synchronize automatically. GPS tracking for construction site hours provides seamless proof for client billing. Integration into DATEV, SAP, Odoo, or Lexwareautomates your payroll processing and saves hours of manual data entry.
Since the Federal Labor Court ruling of 2022, employers are required to systematically record their employees' working hours. With a custom solution, you not only meet legal requirements but also gain valuable data for your project management and resource planning.
iOS and Android app for time tracking on the go – with intuitive UI for quick clock-in and clock-out.
Record time even without internet – synchronization happens automatically on next connection.
Automatic location tracking on check-in/check-out for compliance and client billing.
Log time to projects, cost centers, orders, or clients – with flexible hierarchies.

Costs depend on feature scope and number of platforms (web, iOS, Android).
With 50 employees at €10/user/month, you pay €6,000/year for a SaaS tool. A custom solution for €35,000 pays for itself in under 6 years – and you have full control over your data.
Custom time tracking or SaaS subscription?
Ongoing license costs per employee vs. one-time development: when does custom software pay off?
Yes, times are stored locally and synchronized automatically on next internet connection. Ideal for construction sites, tunnels, or rural areas.
Accuracy is 5-15 meters, depending on device and environment. Completely sufficient for proof of presence to clients.
Through GPS validation, geofencing, and audit logs, manipulation attempts are made difficult and traceable. Manual corrections require approval.
