Solar installers: time tracking questions

How does Watchie help your solar company?

Install crews travel to a new address every day or two. Watchie confirms they’re on site, logs drive time, and keeps payroll clean. Crews clock in on their phones only inside the job site’s boundary, off-site punches are flagged for review, drive time between jobs is logged, and approved hours go to payroll.

Does Watchie track my crew’s location all day?

No. Watchie reads the phone’s location only at the moment someone taps clock in or clock out, to confirm they’re at the job site. Never in between, and never off the clock. Workers see this before they start.

Do crews need to install an app?

No. Crews open Watchie in their phone’s browser and can add it to the home screen. It works on iPhone and Android, and saves punches when there’s no signal.
