Clockodo Alternative – Time Tracking for Teams Working in the Field

Clockodo is a popular and user-friendly time tracking solution that is particularly valued by knowledge-based service providers, agencies, and freelancers. However, if your employees do not work at a desk but rather on construction sites, in cleaning facilities, or on-site at client locations, you may encounter limitations. Jobilino was developed precisely for these use cases – as a time tracking solution for teams that are never in the office.

  • GDPR-compliant
  • Ready to go in just a few minutes
  • Specialised in construction, cleaning and field service

One-tap operation instead of a timer interface

Clock in, select site, work, clock out – four steps. No project lists on screen, no timer management. Built for employees who work with their hands.

NFC location verification at job sites

NFC tags are attached to properties and construction sites. Employees scan when arriving and leaving – location and time verification is created without any manual input.

Offline functionality for job sites without network coverage

On construction sites, in basements and in buildings without network coverage, Jobilino saves all bookings locally and synchronises automatically – without any data loss.

The problem

When Businesses Look for a Clockodo Alternative for Mobile Teams

Clockodo excels at on-screen project time tracking – start, stop, select a project, done. For office and knowledge work, this works exceptionally well. But on a construction site, no worker holds a smartphone between two formwork sections to start a timer. In cleaning, staff need NFC-based location verification, not a stopwatch interface. And in field service, travel time, waiting time, and working time must be clearly separated. If these requirements define everyday operations in your business, Jobilino is the right alternative.

  • Your employees work with their hands, not at a screen – time tracking must be as simple as possible
  • You need location verification via NFC – not just a start-stop function
  • On construction sites there is no stable internet connection – you need genuine offline capability
  • Travel time, waiting time and active working time must be clearly separated from one another
  • A site foreman should be able to clock in the entire crew from a single device
  • You want to generate proof-of-performance records with photo documentation directly from the app

The solution

Why Jobilino Is the Right Clockodo Alternative for Construction, Cleaning, and Field Service

Jobilino was built for the reality of construction sites, cleaning facilities, and field service – not adapted from an agency context. The interface is so straightforward that even employees without technical experience can get started immediately. Instead of start-stop timers, Jobilino offers NFC-based clock-in and clock-out, crew-based time capture, automatic site assignment, photo documentation, and offline functionality. If your teams work in the field, Jobilino is the Clockodo alternative that fits that reality.

Crew time tracking on construction sites

A foreman clocks in the entire crew via a single device – practical on construction sites where not every worker has their own smartphone.

Travel time separation for field staff

Travel time, waiting time and active working time are clearly separated from one another – for accurate customer invoicing and payroll.

Photo documentation and cleaning verification

Employees upload photos directly from the app – as proof of cleaning, construction progress documentation or evidence of condition in the event of complaints.

Häufige Fragen: Jobilino als Clockodo Alternative

What sets Jobilino apart from Clockodo?

Clockodo is a project time-tracking tool that is particularly popular among agencies, consultants, and freelancers – with a focus on timers, hourly rates, and project reporting on screen. Jobilino specialises in companies whose employees work on construction sites, in cleaning facilities, or in field service – with NFC location verification, crew-based time capture, offline functionality, and photo documentation.

Can I import my Clockodo data into Jobilino?

Switching does not require a complex migration. You simply start fresh in Jobilino from a defined cut-off date. Your existing Clockodo data remains available in your Clockodo account and can still be accessed at any time if needed.

Is Jobilino also suitable for project time tracking?

Yes. Jobilino offers order-based project time tracking – employees assign the correct client, order or project directly when clocking in. The difference from Clockodo: project assignment in Jobilino is designed for mobile deployments, not timer-based desk work.

Is Jobilino easier to use than Clockodo?

Both solutions are user-friendly – but for different target groups. Clockodo offers a sophisticated interface for knowledge workers. Jobilino is deliberately streamlined for employees who work with their hands: clock in, select the site, clock out – done. No training required, even for employees without any technical background.

Does Jobilino also offer hourly rates and project reporting?

Jobilino focuses on time tracking, site assignment, proof of performance and payroll preparation. If you require detailed hourly-rate calculation and project controlling for office-based work, Clockodo is better suited for that. Jobilino, on the other hand, offers industry-specific features such as daily construction reports, cleaning verification and crew time tracking.

How quickly can I switch from Clockodo to Jobilino?

As a rule, Jobilino is set up within a few hours. Sites and employees are created, the app is distributed – and from the next day your teams are working with Jobilino. No IT project, no training, no transition period.
