Why Crews Miss Clock-Ins and How TaskTag Solves Construction Timesheets

No new apps. No spreadsheets. Just tap, tag, and track it all in one place.

The Challenge With Construction Crew Time Tracking

If you’ve ever texted, “Hey, what time did you start today?”
Or dug through five different message threads to piece together hours…

You already know:
Time tracking in construction is still broken.

Most teams try:

• Pen & paper (lost)
• Group chats (messy)
• Time tracking apps (ignored)
• CompanyCam (photos, but no time data)

What if your team could just drop a location pin in the same chat they’re already using — and boom, they’re clocked in?

TaskTag Timesheet Tracker: A Smarter Alternative to CompanyCam

It’s the simplest way to track hours across job sites — using location-tagged check-ins right inside your project chat.

Here’s how it works:

• Workers check in/out by sharing their location pin in the project
• TaskTag links it to the job and verifies if they were on-site
• Admins export a clean timesheet report anytime
• No new logins. No new app. Just results.

TaskTag Timesheet Workflow Example: Real Jobsite Use

Let’s say your crew is working on Elm Street Apartments.

1. 7:12 AM — Juan arrives, opens the project chat, shares his location pin → TaskTag logs the check-in
2. 3:54 PM — He shares another pin to clock out → TaskTag calculates 8.7 hours
3. The admin exports timesheets on Friday → See hours, location match, and project attribution

It’s that easy.

📍 Location-verified.
🕒 Time-calculated.
📤 Payroll-ready.

Why TaskTag Timesheets Beat CompanyCam for Construction Crews

Because it’s:

• Part of the flow — not another tool to remember
• Mobile-native — crews already use TaskTag on-site
• Verified — check-ins are tied to location, not guesses
• Auditable — you have a clean, timestamped log
• Zero friction — no extra apps, no new habits

The best system is the one your team actually uses.
