Workyard

What Workyard is

Workyard focuses on accuracy: fine-grained GPS tracking that reconstructs where crews actually were, automatic allocation of hours to the right job, and labour cost reporting including burden. It is aimed at owners who suspect their timesheets are generous and their job costs are wrong.

What it does well

• High-accuracy location and travel reconstruction
• Automatic job allocation of hours
• Labour burden in cost reporting
• Simple crew-facing app

Integrates with

QuickBooks · 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.
