GPS time tracking, expenses, leave and payslips in one simple employee app

Timesheets in their pocket
While on-site, employees can submit timesheets against different jobs or work items by entering start, end and break times or using the GPS start/stop timer. They can access their old payslips too, so you don’t need to dig them out.

Foreman clock-in
Simplify the timesheet process by getting site managers to clock employees in & out of work sites on their phone.

Capture expenses with ease
Expense claims couldn’t be easier. Your employees can take a photo of a receipt, categorise it and submit the expense for approval from their phone.

Easy leave requests
Employees can submit leave requests, check the approval status and balances and see a record of leave already taken and booked in with a simple calendar view.
