Time tracking problems for Tree service companies

Hours per job are a guess

Without on-site clock-ins, bids are based on hunches.

Long drives with equipment

Hauling gear between jobs eats up the day.

Seasonal rush

Storm season means long days and lots of overtime.

Tree service companies: time tracking questions

How does Watchie help your tree service?

Crews move between properties with heavy equipment. Watchie confirms each job-site clock-in, logs drive time, and ties every hour to a job. 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.

Set up your team in minutes. Clock in on Mac, Windows, or a phone at the job site.
