TimeTrack Alternative – when you need a specialised solution rather than an all-in-one platform
TimeTrack is a comprehensive time-tracking platform with shift scheduling, invoicing, mileage tracking and project controlling – covering industries from office and production to construction. Yet this very all-in-one approach becomes a problem when your employees need a solution they can understand in seconds and that does not get in the way during daily work on a construction site or in a cleaning facility. Jobilino does less – but what it does, it does better: mobile time tracking for teams that work outdoors. With genuine NFC location verification without mandatory GPS, 13 languages for international teams and an interface that requires no training.
- NFC without mandatory GPS
- 13 languages for your team
- Simpler than any all-in-one solution
Genuine NFC location verification – no mandatory GPS
TimeTrack uses QR codes with geofencing and requires an active GPS signal to do so. In basements, shell constructions and buildings without GPS reception, this simply does not work. Jobilino uses NFC tags: the employee holds their smartphone up to the tag and is clocked in – no GPS, no geofencing radius, no dependency on mobile networks. This works even in the deepest basement.
13 languages instead of 2
Jobilino is available in Albanian, Bulgarian, German, English, Italian, Croatian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Czech, Turkish and Hungarian. These are the languages actually spoken on construction sites and in cleaning companies across the DACH region. TimeTrack primarily offers German and English – which is not sufficient for many teams in construction and cleaning.
Simplicity instead of a wealth of features
TimeTrack offers dozens of features that are useful for office and project teams. For a construction worker or a cleaner, that is too much. Jobilino reduces operation to the essentials: open the app, tap start, select a project, tap stop. No training, no onboarding phase, no confusion.
The problem
TimeTrack can do a lot – but do your employees really need all of it?
TimeTrack offers time tracking, project time tracking, shift scheduling, leave management, invoicing, mileage tracking, digital signatures, QR code capture, geofencing and workflow management in a single platform. For companies that actually use all of these features, TimeTrack is a powerful choice. However, many construction, cleaning and field service businesses do not need invoicing in their time-tracking tool, no shift scheduling and no workflow management. They need an app their employees understand in three seconds, that works offline and that proves the employee was physically present at the job site. This is where the difference between an all-in-one platform and a specialised solution becomes clear.
- TimeTrack offers many features that construction and cleaning companies never use – invoicing, workflow management, shift scheduling – yet still pay for
- TimeTrack's QR code location verification requires an active GPS signal within a 200-metre radius – this does not work in basements, shell constructions and buildings without GPS reception
- The breadth of features makes the interface confusing for everyday users – reviews cite the onboarding process as a weak point
- TimeTrack is primarily available in German and English – for construction and cleaning teams with Serbian, Croatian, Albanian or Turkish employees, the essential languages are missing
- The pricing structure with three packages (€7, €11 and €13 per user/month) makes budgeting complicated for small businesses – which package do I actually need?
- TimeTrack targets all industries simultaneously – as a result, industry-specific depth for construction, cleaning or field service is lacking in certain areas
The solution
What makes Jobilino different as a TimeTrack alternative
Jobilino does not try to be everything to everyone. Instead, Jobilino focuses on a single task: time tracking for companies whose employees do not work in an office. No invoicing, no workflow management, no shift scheduling – but an app every employee understands in three seconds, NFC location verification without mandatory GPS, full offline functionality and 13 languages for international teams. Fewer features, but the right ones – for daily work on construction sites, in cleaning facilities and at customer locations.
Crew time recording by the site foreman
TimeTrack offers a team leader function for group time tracking. Jobilino goes one step further: the site foreman or supervisor records the working hours of their entire crew using a single device – without every construction worker needing their own smartphone. On construction sites with rotating teams, this is crucial.
Transparent pricing without package confusion
TimeTrack offers three pricing tiers with different feature sets. With Jobilino, all core time-tracking features are included from day one – without having to work out which package you actually need.
Built for the DACH region with industry depth
TimeTrack targets all industries simultaneously – from agencies to security services. Jobilino specialises in construction, cleaning, trades, facility management, field service and security. This specialisation is reflected in every detail: NFC tags at cleaning sites, crew-based time capture on construction sites, photo documentation for proof of service.
