What to Look for In A GPS Time Clock System

Would you drive across town to save 10 cents a gallon on gas? Not me, but I recently paid 33 cents more a gallon than my wife, who bought gas across town. For someone who ignores gas prices, I got emotional.  And no one pumped my gas, washed my windows, or thanked me for paying too much. So, if you're looking for a GPS time clock system for your remote, hourly employees, please pay close attention to the value you're getting.

The Value of an Employee GPS Time Clock System

The critical factor in the price of a service or product is that you fully understand what you're getting, and the same is true when searching for GPS time clock systems. Or will you be like me, paying more for gas with nothing more to show for it? 

A reliable, accurate GPS time clock app can save your company time and money with accurate time cards. We heard it from our clients.  A 30-employee company pays just $164 per month. And no setup fees. Simple.

But what do you receive for this investment? How does it compare to the guys down Internet Boulevard? 

Do you want to ensure that your employees are always at the job site when clocking in?

Compare Apples to Apples When Shopping for A GPS Time Clock System

Are you just starting your search for an online timekeeping system?  Beware of companies charging more for similar features we offer.  Look closely and ask questions. Are you paying a flat fee per employee plus add-on charges for features? Some systems charge an additional dollar per employee for using their scheduling system and no-show alerts.  Or you may pay extra for job cost reporting. Suddenly, you're up to $8-10 or more per employee to access all the tools your growing business needs.

Other questions to consider:

• Does the company have a solution for automatic drive time?
• Can it handle California overtime?
• Does it have a way to prevent buddy-punching and other forms of time theft?

These are all valid questions when searching for a GPS time clock system.
