ClockShark

What ClockShark is

ClockShark was designed for construction and field service rather than offices: clock in by job and cost code, GPS-verified location, crew clock-in where a lead clocks the whole team, and job notes with photos. Payroll export is clean, which is where the admin saving actually lands.

What it does well

• Crew clock-in for whole teams at once
• Job and cost code tracking for job costing
• Geofencing with location verification
• Clean payroll exports

Integrates with

QuickBooks · Xero · Gusto · ADP · Sage

Integration lists change often and "integrates" can mean anything from a real two-way sync to a one-way push through Zapier. Ask the vendor which fields move, in which direction, and how often.

Before you commit

• Geofencing and GPS need a clear written policy. Document it, have it signed, and keep it reasonable.
• Check break and overtime rules for your state are enforced automatically — this is a wage-claim risk, not a convenience.
• Cost codes are what turn time tracking into job costing. Make sure techs can pick one in two taps.
• Offline capture is essential. Basements and new construction have no signal.
• Confirm it exports to your payroll provider in a format that imports cleanly.

How to judge it in a trial

Run one real job through it end to end — not the demo data. Quote it, schedule it, do it, invoice it, take the payment. Then ask the only question that matters on day 400: did the people who have to use this every day find it faster than what they do now? Friction you notice in week one compounds forever, and tool-hopping costs more than any feature gap.
