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

Your crew is always on the move. With Buddy Punch, they can clock in the moment they pick up their equipment, choose a job code when arriving at a client’s property, switch job codes when working on multiple clients’ jobs in a single day, and clock out after dropping equipment off at the end of the day — all from their mobile phones.

Job costing

Know exactly how profitable each job is. Is that big commercial contract really making you money? Are your residential maintenance routes as efficient as they could be? With our job costing feature, your crew can select a specific client or job code when they clock in.

You’ll get precise data on where every labor hour is going so you can bid new jobs with confidence, invoice clients properly, and optimize your pricing.

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? Use geofencing to create a virtual perimeter around each job site, ensuring you’re only paying for the time your team is actually on the clock. 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 time tracking reports showing attendance issues to easily identify crew members who are struggling with excessive tardiness or absenteeism.

Overtime tracking and prevention

Overtime costs can eat into your profits. Get automatic alerts when a crew member is approaching overtime so you can make adjustments before it’s too late.

When it’s time to run payroll, you’re done in a few clicks. Buddy Punch automatically calculates hours, overtime, and paid time off — no more chasing down paper timesheets or manually entering data.

How Buddy Punch expedites payroll

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

Stop spending your evenings building complicated schedules. Our drag-and-drop scheduler makes it easy to build and share weekly schedules with your entire crew in minutes.

Assign specific specialists to the right jobs and locations, set up recurring maintenance schedules, and let your team manage their own shift trades (with your approval, of course). You’ll spend less time in the office and more time growing your business.

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