Mobile Project Time Tracking for Field Staff – Assign Hours Directly to the Right Order

Do you really know how many hours your team works per project, client or order? With Jobilino, field staff record their project times directly on site via app – precisely, order-related and immediately evaluable. No more retrospective entries, estimates or unclear project hours.

  • GDPR-compliant
  • Ready to go in minutes
  • Project times recorded in real time

Direct booking to project or order

When starting time tracking, the employee directly selects the appropriate project or client – the hours are immediately allocated correctly.

Multiple projects per day

If an employee switches between orders, they simply start a new booking for the next project – every minute is attributed to the correct order.

Real-time evaluation per project

The office can see in real time how many hours have already been booked per project – as an early warning system for budget overruns.

The problem

The Problem: Project Times in the Field Remain Unclear

Field staff work simultaneously for multiple clients, projects and orders. But which hours are attributed to which project? In most companies, nobody knows exactly – because times are either not recorded at all or entered as a lump sum at the end of the day. The result: unclear project costing, incorrect client billing and no reliable basis for internal management.

  • Project times are estimated rather than measured – calculations are inaccurate
  • Employees log hours as a flat rate without a clear assignment to orders
  • Customer invoices cannot be substantiated in a transparent and traceable manner
  • Post-calculations only reveal at the end of a project that hours have been exceeded
  • The office spends hours manually allocating timesheets to projects
  • No reliable data basis for future quote calculations

Overview of team and resources

The scheduling department can see at any time who is working on which project, for how long and how much capacity is still available.

How it works

How mobile project time tracking works with Jobilino

  1. Start assignment

    The employee opens the app and starts time tracking – directly at the client's site or on the way to the assignment location.

  2. Select project or order

    From a clear, organised list, the employee selects the appropriate project, client or order – time is recorded against the correct account from that moment on.

  3. Switch project or book a break

    When switching assignments or taking a break, a new booking is simply started – all times remain clearly separated and correctly assigned.

  4. End assignment

    Once the assignment is complete, the employee clocks out – the full project record is created automatically.

  5. Evaluation and billing in the office

    All project times are immediately available in the dashboard – filterable, exportable, and ready to use directly for invoicing and post-calculation.

Frequently asked questions

What is mobile project time tracking?

Mobile project time tracking means that employees do not just record their working hours in general, but assign them directly to a specific project, client or order – using their smartphone, right on site. This produces precise project records without any follow-up work in the office.

Can field employees book multiple projects per day?

Yes. With Jobilino, an employee can switch between projects as many times as needed. Each new booking is assigned to the selected order – all times remain clearly separated, even when multiple clients are visited in a single day.

How does project time tracking help with post-calculation?

When every working hour is assigned to the correct project, planned and actual hours can be compared directly. This allows you to identify early on whether a project is within budget, and provides a reliable data basis for future quotes.

Can project times be exported for client invoicing?

Yes. All recorded project times can be exported filtered by client, project, employee or period – as a structured basis for invoicing, with no manual preparation required.

How quickly can employees get started with project time tracking?

Setup typically takes less than half a working day. Projects and clients are created once, employees receive the app and can start booking productively from day one – no training required and no IT project needed.

Does the app work without an internet connection on construction sites?

Yes. Jobilino stores all bookings locally on the device when no connection is available. As soon as the device is back online, project times are synchronised automatically – no entry is lost, even in dead zones or basement areas.
