Time tracking for trades & construction

Track hours where the work happens: on site

No more paper timesheets and estimated hours at the end of the month. With Jomawo your crew tracks working and travel times right on site – on their phones, in seconds.

Why time tracking fails in the trades

Between the workshop, the van and the site, hours get lost – and with them real money.

Paper and spreadsheets

Paper timesheets get lost, are filled in from memory on Friday and have to be typed up manually back at the office.

Forgotten travel times

Driving to sites and clients is working time – but it is rarely documented properly and never shows up on an invoice.

No link to the job

At the end of the month nobody remembers which hours belong to which site. Post-calculation becomes guesswork.

Costing without data

Whether a job was profitable only shows with honest hours. Without clean tracking, you quote the next job blind.

Track on the go

Time tracking that fits in a pocket

Jomawo runs as a web app on any smartphone – no installation. Your crew checks in in the morning, books hours to the site and checks out in the evening. The office sees everything in real time.
  • Check-in and check-out right on site
  • Hours separated by client, job and site
  • Log breaks with one tap
  • Works on any device, no app install

Digital time tracking in the trades: more than a legal chore

Trades businesses face double pressure when it comes to time tracking: on the one hand, labour law increasingly requires employers to systematically record employee working hours. On the other hand, cleanly documented hours directly determine profit in the trades – every untracked trip and every forgotten hour on site is missing from the invoice at the end. A digital time tracker like Jomawo solves both problems with one tool.

The key difference to paper timesheets: hours are recorded where the work happens. Crews check in on site via smartphone, book their hours to client and job, and log breaks with one tap. The built-in travel time calculation documents driving times and distances automatically – a feature worth real money in the trades, because call-outs can be billed with evidence. The office sees all hours in real time and skips retyping paper sheets entirely.

For job costing, Jomawo provides reports per job, site and employee: compare quoted hours with actually tracked hours, so your next quote is based on real numbers instead of gut feeling. Export timesheets with your company logo as PDF, CSV or Excel – for the client, payroll or your accountant. And getting started costs nothing: track up to 160 hours per month free, forever.
