I would like to propose the development of Handoff Workforce GPS™, a fully integrated workforce tracking and payroll automation platform designed specifically for contractors and field service businesses.

The purpose of this feature is to eliminate manual timesheets, automate employee clock-ins and clock-outs, track mileage and travel activity, improve payroll accuracy, reduce time theft, and provide complete workforce accountability through GPS verification and geofencing technology.

Unlike traditional time tracking software, Handoff Workforce GPS would integrate directly into project schedules, payroll reporting, job costing, labor tracking, and project profitability reporting.

This feature has the potential to become one of Handoff's most valuable operational tools by connecting workforce management, mileage tracking, payroll preparation, and project costing into a single system.

The Problem

Most contractors currently struggle with:

Employees forgetting to clock in
Employees forgetting to clock out
Manual timesheet entry
Payroll disputes
Unverified travel time
Unverified mileage claims
Excessive administrative payroll work
Inaccurate labor cost tracking
Time theft
Poor visibility into workforce activity

Most available solutions only solve one part of the problem.

Contractors need a complete workforce accountability platform.

Proposed Solution

Handoff Workforce GPS™

Every scheduled project automatically creates a geofence around the jobsite.

When an employee enters the designated radius:

GPS verifies location
Employee receives notification
Handoff prompts clock-in

Example:

"You've arrived at Kitchen Remodel Project #1458."

Clock In?

[YES]

When an employee leaves the geofenced area:

"You've exited the project area."

Clock Out?

[YES]

Smart Geofencing

Each project automatically creates a customizable jobsite boundary.

Examples:

Residential Projects

100 Foot Radius

Commercial Projects

250 Foot Radius

Large Properties

500 Foot Radius

Custom Radius

Configured by management.

Automatic Time Tracking
