Hours land on the right job before the ute leaves the kerb

Crews that bounce between sites can't allocate their hours to the right client automatically today. One AU sparkie running multiple crews said it plainly: there is “no way to allocate the times automatically to different clients,” so Friday becomes a memory exercise. A geo-fence around each job fixes that. When a tech crosses into a site the clock starts; when they leave it stops, and those minutes attach to that job and that customer as they happen. A second site the same day is simply a second entry. The result is a live view of who is on site right now and a per-customer total that is ready for invoicing without anyone reconstructing the week. It builds on the real-time GPS and per-project tracking that AU crews already report using and getting working “on day one” — wired into your own job and customer list.

1. 1

   Trigger

   A tech's phone crosses into the geo-fence drawn around a job site, so the on-site clock starts the moment they arrive.

2. 2

   Action 1

   Time keeps running while they stay inside the fence and stops automatically the second they drive away.

3. 3

   Action 2

   Each captured visit is tagged to that job number and that customer, so a tech who hits three sites in a day produces three correctly-labelled entries.

4. 4

   Action 3

   Hours roll up into a per-customer total that is ready to push into your accounting and invoicing without manual splitting.

5. 5

   Outcome

   The foreman sees who is on site right now and gets a Friday timesheet that is already allocated, instead of one rebuilt from memory.
