ClockShark
Key Info:
ClockShark is a cloud time-tracking and field-work platform for construction, trades and other mobile teams. It combines mobile clock-in, job and task selection, GPS and geofencing, crew clock, scheduling, timesheet review, job costing, work records and payroll or accounting integrations.
Details
Field time capture
Employees use the mobile application to clock in, switch jobs or tasks, take breaks and clock out. Notes, attachments and conversations can preserve job context, while offline behaviour supports sites with unreliable connectivity. Crew Clock and kiosk-style options help authorised supervisors record several workers. The capture design should still give each person a way to review and correct their own record.
Location and job context
GPS points can be recorded while a worker is on the clock, and geofences connect clock events with defined job sites. The vendor states that location is not collected while a person is off the clock or on break. Organisations should test consent, accuracy, battery use, worker visibility, manager permissions, retention and the process for disputed or missing location evidence.
Timesheets, schedules and costs
Managers review and edit timesheets, with changes preserved in an audit log. Schedules, time-off records and alerts identify expected or unusual shifts. Jobs, tasks, labour costs and reports support job-costing and payroll preparation. Integrations with accounting and payroll services reduce re-entry, but administrators should reconcile rounded time, overtime and edited shifts before sending data downstream.
Who should evaluate it
ClockShark is designed for contractors, construction firms, field service and mobile workforces that need job-site time rather than office-only project timers. A consultancy or software team may not benefit from its location and field controls. Businesses with complex union, certified-payroll or jurisdiction-specific rules should validate the complete compliance workflow.
Evaluation notes
Run a field pilot at two job sites with a worker, supervisor and office administrator. Test clock-in near and outside a geofence, offline work, a job switch, break, missed clock-out and edited timesheet. Review the audit trail from each role. Reconcile a payroll export and job-cost report. Confirm supported devices, GPS policy, rounding, overtime, schedules, permissions, integrations, API, retention, SSO and recovery when a phone is replaced or cannot synchronise.
Decision evidence
Record the tested workflows, measured data gaps, plan-specific dependencies, policy decisions and named operational owner in the selection file. This turns a short demonstration into evidence that can be revisited during implementation and renewal.
