Construction Time Tracking Software Built for Field Teams

Hubstaff tracks the location data of teams working in the field only when they are actively tracking time using the mobile app. Anytime they clock out, Hubstaff ceases tracking to ensure employee privacy and better work-life balance.

While they're clocked in, you can see the locations of your field crew in real time to plan faster routes or send your clients ETA updates. With location tracking, you can also view your team's previous routes and identify where they were at specific times on said routes.

The Hubstaff app only uses about 2% of a mobile device's battery per hour with location tracking. It works on a 500-meter resolution and won’t significantly drain your phone’s battery. 

Here are a few ways you can save battery life:

• Keep track of your battery life by checking via Settings > About Phone> Battery Information.

• Unwanted apps running in the background can drain your battery life, so make sure to turn them off from your settings.

• Turning the screen brightness down can significantly help you save battery life.

• Turn off alerts and push notifications that light up your home screen.

• After one minute of inactivity, turn on auto-lock to power off the screen.
