Time Tracking Munich – digitally capture mobile teams, accurately bill hours

Munich is growing – and with the city, so is the need for reliable time tracking. Whether it's shell construction in Freiham, building cleaning in Schwabing, building services in the commercial areas on the outskirts or customer service across the S-Bahn network: Munich businesses with mobile employees need time tracking that works on-site – not just in the office. With Jobilino, your employees record working hours directly via app or NFC at their place of deployment. Precise to the construction site, job-related and compliant with the Working Hours Act.

Time tracking by app – everywhere in Munich and the surrounding area

Employees record their working hours directly at the point of deployment via smartphone – whether on a construction site in Aubing, at a client's premises in Maxvorstadt, or at a commercial yard in Obersendling.

NFC tags at fixed deployment locations

NFC tags are attached to cleaning properties, building entrances or workshops. Employees scan when arriving and leaving – proof is generated in a matter of seconds.

Order-related hour allocation

Every recorded hour is assigned directly to the correct customer, project or order – no manual sorting in the office, no lost assignment.

The problem

Time tracking in Munich: Big city, many sites, little overview

Munich is one of Germany's largest cities by area – and for businesses with mobile teams that means long distances, many job sites and zero visibility from the office. Tradespeople commute between assignments in Bogenhausen and Pasing, cleaning crews service properties from Lehel all the way to Riem, construction firms work simultaneously on sites in the Messestadt and the greater Munich area. Yet in many businesses, working hours are still recorded on paper or in Excel – with the familiar consequences: inaccurate hours, missing allocation, payroll headaches and, in the worst case, no reliable proof for the competent authority.

Employees work spread across the entire Munich urban area and surroundings – the office has no overview
Travel times between assignments are not recorded or are estimated as a flat rate
Timesheets are filled in from memory at the weekend – hours recorded are inaccurate
The allocation of hours to clients, job sites or orders is done manually in the office
During official inspections, the seamless record of working hours required under the Working Hours Act (ArbZG) is missing
Payroll and client billing cost hours every week due to corrections and queries

The solution

The solution: Digital time tracking in Munich with Jobilino

Jobilino was built for businesses whose employees don't work in an office – and that applies to thousands of companies in Munich. Your employees clock in and out directly via app or NFC at the job site. Hours are automatically assigned to the correct customer, project or order.

The data is immediately ready for payroll, customer billing and proof of compliance with the Working Hours Act.

Recording travel times between deployment locations

In a city like Munich, travel times accumulate every day. Jobilino clearly separates travel time, waiting time and deployment time from one another – for accurate billing and legally compliant records.

Häufige Fragen zur Zeiterfassung in München

Is time tracking legally required in Munich?

Yes. The German Working Hours Act (ArbZG), in conjunction with the case law of the Federal Labour Court, obliges employers to introduce a system for recording working hours. The start, end and duration of the daily working time must be documented for all employees – regardless of whether they work in the office or on the go. Violations may result in fines and employment law consequences.

Which industries in Munich is Jobilino particularly suited to?

In Munich, Jobilino is especially popular with construction and trade businesses, building cleaning companies, service and maintenance firms, installers, facility management providers and security services. In principle, Jobilino is suitable for any Munich-based business whose employees regularly work at changing locations.

Does time tracking work in Munich's old buildings, underground car parks and construction sites near the U-Bahn?

Yes. Jobilino is fully offline-capable. All bookings are stored locally on the device and synchronised automatically as soon as mobile data or Wi-Fi is available again. In Munich, this typically applies to basement floors, old buildings without network coverage, underground car parks, shell constructions and construction sites near the U-Bahn.

Can travel times within Munich be recorded separately?

Yes. Munich businesses with mobile teams know the problem: between two customer appointments there are often thirty minutes or more spent in city traffic. Jobilino clearly separates travel times, waiting times and active working times – for accurate payroll and verifiable client billing.

Is Jobilino also suitable for assignments in the greater Munich area and Upper Bavaria?

Yes. Many Munich businesses operate not only within the city, but also throughout the entire greater metropolitan area – from Dachau to Erding and Starnberg. Jobilino works independently of location: whether the assignment takes place in Munich-Riem or in Rosenheim, time tracking via the app works the same everywhere.

Is Jobilino suitable for international teams in Munich?

Yes. Munich has a high proportion of employees from various countries of origin – particularly in construction, cleaning and the trades. Jobilino is available in several languages and designed to be so straightforward that employees can get started immediately without any training.

What sets Jobilino apart from a simple time clock app?

A simple time clock app only records clock-in and clock-out times. Jobilino goes significantly further: job-related assignment, project time tracking, travel time separation, NFC location verification, photo documentation, team recording and ready-made evaluations for payroll and billing. That is the difference between a single feature and a system that covers the entire process from the construction site to invoicing.

How quickly can Jobilino be up and running in my Munich business?

Typically within half a working day. Locations and employees are set up, the app is distributed – and from the next day your employees record their working hours directly via the app. No IT project, no on-site installation, no weeks-long rollout.
