Time Tracking

Your Crew's Hours, Straight Into the Budget

Your crew clocks in from the same app you already use for estimates and invoices. Hours attach to the project they are working on, you review and approve them in a few taps, and the labor cost lands in your project budget while the project is still running. Available on Pro and Scale plans.

Get the hours right, and the budget follows.

Find out what labor costs before you've paid it

Most remodeling crews track time on paper, in a text message, or in a separate app that knows nothing about the project. The hours end up somewhere the project can't see. Then somebody sits down and pieces together hours from three places before payroll can go out.

AI Time Tracking puts the hours where the project is. Your crew taps Clock In and picks the project. The timer runs in the background whether the app is open or not. You approve the entries, and the labor cost shows up against your estimate while there is still project left to run.

5/5
Handoff has turned 3-hour estimates into 20-minute estimates ... I give a project scope, any plans and pictures, and it creates the entire estimate for me.

Clock in on the job

Clock in from the project, on the project

Your crew opens Handoff, taps Clock In, and picks the project they are on. The timer keeps running in the background even if they close the app. At clock-out, they add break time and a daily log. The location is captured at clock-in.
