Time tracking for survey crews

Survey crews clock in on their phone at the parcel, not only at the office. The miles they drive between jobs are saved with their hours.

From $15/mo billed annually. Starter $15/mo · Growth $25/mo · Scale $49.99/mo.

How a survey company uses it

Work locations list of survey job parcels

Parcels saved as work locations

Each parcel is saved as a work location

If the crew only clocks in at the office, you can’t see the day they spent in the field.

Save each job as a work location. When someone clocks in there, TimeOff Manager saves their GPS location.

Team calendar of time off for a survey company

Who is off this month

Office time off on the same calendar

Someone in the office takes a day off, and the field crew doesn’t know.

Office staff request time off in the same account. Once it is approved, it shows on the team calendar for everyone.

Team mileage for survey crews driving between jobs

Every crew’s miles for the week

Miles between jobs

The drive can take half the day, but none of it shows up on the timesheet.

Crews log their miles in the same app they clock in with, so the drive sits next to their hours.

Live staff map of survey crews currently clocked in

Who is clocked in right now

Where they clocked in, and who is still out

Where a crew started the day and who is still in the field are two different questions.

GPS history shows where each person clocked in. The live staff map shows who is clocked in right now.

Weekly timesheet of a two-person survey crew

Each person’s hours for the week

Both people on a two-person crew clock in

One person clocks in for the job, and the other person’s hours go missing.

Each employee clocks in for themselves. If both people clocked in, you see both on the timesheet.

Approved hours, ready for payroll

TimeOff Manager tracks hours. It doesn’t pay anyone. At the end of the pay period, a manager reviews and approves the hours. Then you download them as an Excel or CSV file and send it to whoever runs payroll: your bookkeeper, your accountant, or your payroll software.

  • Hours are approved first

    A manager checks the hours before they go anywhere, so payroll gets real numbers, not guesses from a group text.

  • Overtime is flagged

    Extra hours show up on the timesheet, so you can see overtime before you pay it.

  • Excel or CSV

    One download your bookkeeper or payroll software can open.

  • Payroll happens elsewhere

    TimeOff Manager does not calculate pay, print checks, or file taxes.

Where they clocked in

A typical day

  1. 1

    The crew leaves the office

    Office time can be saved as its own work location. The parcel is another one.

  2. 2

    They clock in at the parcel

    Their GPS location is saved when they clock in.

  3. 3

    They move to the next parcel

    They clock in there and log the miles they drove.

  4. 4

    Hours go to payroll

    Download the approved hours as a file. Drawings stay in your CAD software.

This is not CAD or deed research software

TimeOff Manager does not store drawings, research deeds, or calculate boundaries. It tracks hours, time off, mileage, and where each person clocked in.

Also see time tracking software, TimeOff Kiosk, PTO software, and pricing.

Approved time off can sync to Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Approved hours can go to QuickBooks Online or FreshBooks.

Common questions from surveyors

Can field crews and office staff use the same account?

Yes. Field staff clock in and out. Office staff can use it just for time off, without clocking in every day.

Does it log miles between jobs?

Yes. Mileage is a separate record from the GPS location saved at clock-in.

Does the live map record the path the crew walks on a survey?

No. It shows who is clocked in right now. It does not record a survey track.

How much does it cost?

From $15/mo billed annually after a 14-day trial. Starter is $15/mo for 1–20 people, Growth is $25/mo for 21–50, and Scale is $49.99/mo for larger teams.
