Momentum’s GPS-powered automated time tracking gives you real-time visibility into jobsite and travel hours — without crew input. No paperwork. No compliance issues.
Stop Spending Time Tracking Time
Manual time tracking is a headache. Think about how many hours you, your crew, and your office staff spend each week entering hours, chasing down time cards, or figuring out how much to bill. Handwritten job site sheets? Texts? Click-to-log apps? They’re rarely accurate—and they don’t reflect what really happened in the field.
That’s time lost. And lost time means lost money.
With Momentum’s automated time tracking, you don’t have to chase people and paper anymore. The system automatically tracks job site and travel time based on vehicle and crew member movement, so there’s no manual input needed. All you need is the Eagle One GPS Tracker, plus CrewID if you don’t assign the same crew to the same vehicle every day.
The Cost of Manual Data Input
Most field crews aren’t great at logging their hours accurately. Heck, most people (except lawyers) are terrible at tracking their time. And it’s not out of laziness, it’s just that people are focused on doing their job, not paperwork. And if your people forget and try to remember after-the-fact, it’s guaranteed not to be accurate.
Manual Time Tracking Leads To:
- Overreported hours
- Underreported hours
- Missed start or end times
- Missed travel times
All of the above impact your competitiveness and profitability. If your jobs get billed hourly, these errors are costing you real money if hours are underreported. If it’s a contract maintenance job, not knowing your accurate labor costs can be the difference between making a profit or working for free. It’s especially important to landscapers who, according to a recent special section called Benchmarking Your Business in Lawn & Landscape Magazine actually saw their per hour labor charge go down for Landscape Maintenance and Lawncare in 2024. To stay profitable you need to make every minute count. Spend that time servicing customers, not doing paperwork.
The Accuracy of GPS Tracking
With Momentum’s automated time tracking, every job starts and ends with vehicle movement that is tracked using triangulated data from at least three satellites every ten seconds. Talk about accuracy.
Using GPS to measure travel and jobsite time ensures:
- You know when your trucks arrive and leave the site
- You see how much time was spent at each location
- You have real-time accurate insights into job costing and profitability
- Your crew doesn’t have to do anything
Relying on your crews to remember to log every minute on an app or fill out a sheet of paper is a recipe for disaster. Now, time tracking happens automatically. It’s like magic and it will make your life so much easier.
Nothing Else Was Working. This Is.
Accurate Hours. No Crew Input.
Automated time tracking isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity for field service businesses that rely on accurate labor data to stay profitable. When your time tracking system runs off GPS vehicle movement instead of human memory, you cut out the errors, the guesswork, and the back-and-forth texts trying to figure out when someone actually showed up on site. No more missed clock-ins, “I forgot” moments, or end-of-week best guesstimates.
With Momentum GPS, you automatically track job site and travel time down to the minute. That means your billing is faster and your job costing reports reflect reality. You can bill confidently, back up your numbers with hard data, and get paid for every minute your crews are out in the field.
Pair this with our unique real-time job costing functionality, and you’ve got a complete picture of how every job is performing. You know exactly where your hours go, where you’re profitable, and where you’re bleeding margin. You can quote smarter, hold crews accountable, and make the best decisions based on real numbers.
