How do location timers work in Jobber?

Here’s how location timers in Jobber can help you save you time on admin work:

Automatic Time Tracking

Set it and forget it

Location timers automatically start and stop when your team arrives at and leaves a client’s property.

They can focus on getting the job done without worrying about clocking in and out.

Push Notification Reminders

Help your team manage their time

Instead of tracking time automatically, you can give your team more control by setting location timers to reminder mode.

Jobber will send push notifications when they’re near a client’s location—and they can start or stop their timer with just a tap.

Payroll and Reporting

Save hours running payroll

Location timers help cut down errors and missing entries—that means less time spent on payroll.

Detailed timesheet reports pre-built in Jobber show you who’s been paid and who is owed. Approved timesheets automatically sync with QuickBooks Online to make payroll even easier.

Job Costing

Be confident every job is profitable

Location timers help ensure you get a clear and accurate picture of your labor costs.

Jobber shows you real-time profitability for each job based on all the costs you’ve tracked so you can improve your pricing and costing accuracy for future jobs.

What are location timers?

Jobber’s location timers feature lets your team members track their track labor hours based on their location. You can set location timers to automatically start and stop when your team arrives at and leaves a client’s property. Or, get Jobber to send your team push notifications that remind them to clock in and out manually—whatever works best for your operations. 

When there is more than one job scheduled at the same or nearby location (like multiple units in the same building), Jobber will prompt team members to start a timer for the visit on their schedule. You’ll be sure they’re tracking the right time on the right job.

By automatically tracking visit times, you can maintain accurate and up-to-date timesheets with less effort.

Benefits for your business

No more missed time entries: Team members can track visit time automatically or receive time-tracking reminders when arriving at and leaving a client’s property.

Get payroll done faster: Reduce the time spent fixing errors and incomplete timesheets so your team is always paid correctly and on time.

Cost jobs more accurately: Get a clear picture of labor costs associated with each job to improve costing accuracy for future jobs.
