Landscaping time tracking software that survives the truck cab.

You bid jobs by the hour. If your time data is wrong, your margins are wrong. Paper timesheets get lost in trucks; punch clocks don’t exist when the job is 18 miles away on a residential street. ClockOut is a GPS-verified time clock built for crews who clock in standing in someone’s front yard.

Where landscaping companies leak money

• Paper timesheets get lost. Or get smudged. Or get filled in from memory on Friday afternoon for hours worked Tuesday morning.
• Drive time bleeds into job time.Without GPS, you can’t tell if 8 hours of a 10-hour day was actually billable.
• Crew leads round up.Studies estimate buddy punching and time rounding costs the average SMB 4-7% of gross payroll. On a $400k payroll, that’s $16-28k a year.
• Job costing is guesswork. Without per-property hours, you bid the next job by gut feel.

What ClockOut does for landscaping crews

GPS-verified clock-in at every property

Crew lead opens the app, taps clock-in. We capture latitude / longitude and verify they’re inside the geofence you set for that property. If they’re at the shop or a Wawa, you’ll know.

Multi-property job allocation

Tag each block of hours with a property or job code. ClockOut splits a 10-hour day into “3.5 hrs at Henderson, 4 hrs at Pinewood HOA, 2.5 hrs at Vista” — exactly what you need to bill accurately and re-bid intelligently.

Kiosk mode for the shop

Park a tablet at the shop entrance. Crew clocks in with a 4-digit PIN before they roll out — no logins, no personal phones required. Photo capture optional for buddy-punch prevention.

Automatic overtime and break enforcement

Federal FLSA weekly OT applies automatically. State-specific rules (California daily OT, Colorado’s 12-hour daily threshold) are configurable on Pro. Missed meal breaks get flagged for review before they show up on the next payroll run.

Payroll export in two clicks

At end of pay period, lock the timesheets and export to ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, or any CSV. Approved hours flow straight in — no transcription, no copy-paste errors.
