Do you struggle to get people to clock into the right job? Do they even know what the job is today - floors, windows, or general cleaning; drywall, electrical, or demo; armed or unarmed duty? You get the idea, it is about more than the building they go to.

Pro's unique 3-tiered approach to defining work provides clarity for workers and greater visibility for owners.

So here are the PRO details:

Customers are who you contract with to do work.

Locations are the customer sites where your employees do the work. A customer can have many locations in the system. You register TimeTiles™ to locations and specify the addresses for GPS tracking.

Jobs are the work your employees do for your customers at specific locations. Think of a job as the hours and dollars (contract) you want to track.

Separate your ongoing jobs, project jobs, and work order jobs. See the examples below:

Pretty easy so far.

As a huge sidenote: PRO's 3-tiered approach allows you to track hours and labor dollars for specific contracted work at each location for your customers. Owners will have decision-worthy numbers at their fingertips to see if the project jobs are your loss leaders or money makers when you add budgets.

We'll assume that if you acquired a new customer, you also have a contracted job to start.

The easiest way to get started is by using the Quick Add wizard to enter your new job and assign the customer and location. ( You can add budget information later or use the Advanced option now.)

The work is displayed with the Customer-Location, Job, Team, and Shift.

(Tip: If you only have one location for a customer, make the customer name and location name the same, and it only displays once.)

As a bonus, you get reports that automatically total each customer and subtotal each location and the different work done. Now that is easy!
