Time Tracking Software for Landscaping

Time tracking features for landscapers

For businesses that handle mowing, landscape architecture, retaining wall engineering, and everything in between, the handy features built into Buddy Punch make it easy to track time and attendance, prevent time theft, and run payroll quickly, accurately, and easily.

Mobile time tracking apps

Buddy Punch can be used on any device with an internet connection. Employees can clock in using their mobile phones at the start of their day, switch job codes throughout the day as they start working on new client projects, and clock out after dropping off equipment at the end of the day.

Job costing

Create job codes in Buddy Punch to track exactly how much time your employees spent on specific client projects. When employees clock in, they choose the applicable job code from a dropdown list, then you can run reports showing exactly how many labor hours to charge your clients for.

Employee location tracking

GPS tracking features in Buddy Punch let you keep track of employees as they move from job to job. You can log their locations when they clock in and out to make sure they were at the right location, and you can also track their locations in real-time throughout the workday. This helps you prevent time theft and make sure your employees are always where they’re supposed to be.

Don’t want to have to monitor locations? Create geofences around your job sites. If an employee attempts to clock in/out outside of a geofence, they will receive an error message. Geofences can also be paired with job codes to automatically tie time spent at specific locations to specific projects.

Multi-language interface

Buddy Punch is available in both English and Spanish. When employees open the Buddy Punch app, they can click the flag displayed to switch their default language from English to Spanish. When they do, all labels and text inside of the app will be translated into Spanish for them.

Attendance tracking

Get push or email notifications when employees clock in late, clock out early, or miss a shift entirely to stay on top of attendance even when you’re not on site. Download detailed reports showing attendance issues to easily identify employees who are struggling with excessive tardiness or absenteeism.

Overtime tracking and prevention

Buddy Punch identifies overtime hours based on your overtime policies and automatically calculates overtime pay for you. Want to avoid paying overtime? Set up notifications that will alert you when employees are nearing overtime so you can adjust their schedules.

How Buddy Punch expedites payroll

Buddy Punch compiles all employee clock-in and out data into timesheets for you. Regular hours, overtime hours, and pay are all calculated automatically.

When it’s time to run payroll, you have three options:

• Download a report formatted perfectly for your payroll processor.
• Use one of Buddy Punch’s integrations to send your time data to payroll instantly.
• Use Buddy Punch as your payroll provider to pay employees through Buddy Punch.

With any of these options, you can transform your payroll process from something that takes an entire day every pay period into a short, 30-minute task.

How Buddy Punch simplifies scheduling

Build, publish, and update work schedules in minutes with our drag-and-drop schedule maker. You can assign employees to work in specific roles and at specific locations.

You can also:

• Set repeating shifts for employees who work the same schedule each week.
• Let team members request shift trades and covers that you can review and approve.
• View employee availability and scheduled time off while creating your schedule.

Employees can view their schedules anytime in the Buddy Punch app, and they can get email or push notifications when new schedules are published.
