Daily Problems Solved by Pro
If you're like most service business owners, you face common operational challenges every day:
Employees not clocking in from their job sites
Time cards that need constant editing
Emergency supply runs eating into profits
No clear view of job profitability
Constant overtime surprises
Communication chaos with field teams
Chronotek Pro is built to solve these exact problems through interconnected features that work together to give you control of your operations. Let's look at how the system is structured to address each challenge.
Your Early Warning Color-Coded Command Center
The heart of Pro is its proactive warning system. When you log in, you'll immediately see colored tiles at the top of your screen highlighting issues needing attention. Think of these tiles as your live-streaming command center dashboard - they show you exactly what needs fixing and let you click directly into the problem to resolve it.
Red Tiles: Critical Issues
Red tiles indicate problems that must be addressed, particularly before running payroll:
Missed clock-outs needing time entry
Employees clocked into "unknown" jobs
Missing employee pay rates
Critical supply shortages at locations
These issues won't resolve themselves and typically block critical processes like payroll completion. Clicking a red tile takes you directly to the problem so you can fix it immediately.
Yellow Tiles: Early Warnings
Yellow tiles warn you about potential problems before they become critical:
Employees not at job sites when clocking in
Workers leaving job sites while on the clock
Missed scheduled clock-ins
Late arrivals
Supply levels approaching warning thresholds
While these issues won't block payroll, they help you spot patterns and prevent minor problems from becoming bigger ones.
Teams: Your Operational Foundation
Teams are the backbone of Pro, organizing your workforce and controlling access. You can group employees by shift (day/night), task type (floor crew/general cleaning), or region. This structure ensures:
Employees only see and clock into the correct jobs
Notifications go to the right supervisors
Messages go to the right people
Supply management remains controlled
Three-Tier Job Structure Ensures Accurate Time Tracking
Pro organizes work in a practical three-tier system:
Customer > Location > Job
For example: ABC Corp (Customer) → Downtown Office (Location) → Floor Waxing (Job)
This structure enables precise tracking of work, costs, and profits for each service you provide at each location. It also helps organize time cards, supply management, and team assignments.

Clock-in Location Verified: TimeTiles™ & GPS
Pro uses multiple verification methods to ensure employees clock in and out from the job sites, protecting your time cards and preventing time theft.
TimeTiles™ Ensure Employees Clock In from Inside the Building
TimeTiles™ provide the strongest verification by requiring employees to be physically present in the building to clock in - not sitting in their car in the parking lot. This simple technology has saved customers thousands of dollars annually by preventing time theft.
Smart GPS Tracking Warns When Employees Leave the Job Site
Pro's exclusively designed GPS tracking works alongside TimeTiles™ to warn you when workers leave job sites while clocked in. Unlike breadcrumb tracking, which drains phone batteries and consumes a ton of data, our GPS tracking triggers when workers leave the geofence and then provides individual point reads.
Messaging & Notifications: Everyone on the Same Page
Pro's communication system eliminates the chaos of scattered text messages and missed phone calls by organizing all communication in one place. Every message and alert goes to precisely who needs to see it, keeping everyone informed without overwhelming them.
Message Boards
Instead of trying to manage group texts or wondering if everyone got the message, Pro organizes communication into clear channels that reach the right people:
Company-wide announcements reach all employees
Team-specific boards for group communication
Job boards for location-specific updates
Automatic translation into each user's preferred language
Private messaging between supervisors and team members
Push Notifications/SMS Texts
Supervisors and managers stay on top of their operations with customized real-time notifications by push notification or SMS text. No more finding out about problems hours after they happen:
Late arrivals and missed clock-ins
Employees leaving job sites
Supply shortages and requests
TimeTile bypass attempts
Unknown job clock-ins
Pro allows you to set different notification levels for different events, putting you in control of what information you receive and how you receive it.
Activity Feeds: Eyes on Everything
Subscribe and customize your activity feed on the website and mobile app. The activity feeds are basically an audit trail of everything happening with your account. You'll never miss anything again.
Stop Profit Leaks: Features That Protect Your Bottom Line
Time tracking alone doesn't protect profits - you need to see problems before they happen. Pro shows you:
When employees will hit overtime based on current hours plus scheduled time
If travel time will push jobs over budget
How actual costs compare against your contract budgets
Which jobs might become unprofitable before they drain your resources
Avoid costly surprises by addressing profit leaks before they happen—because protecting your bottom line starts with staying ahead of the game.
A Proactive Supply Management System
Pro's supply management system turns supply chaos into organized efficiency. Instead of discovering you're out of supplies when an employee calls in a panic, Pro warns you when supplies are getting low at each location. The system tracks deliveries in real-time and helps optimize delivery routes. You can even see which locations might have extra supplies that could be moved to other sites.
