At its core is a GPS time clock app that captures exact clock-in and clock-out locations, as well as travel time and mileage between jobs. Workyard automatically verifies when workers arrive on-site, logs their time and routes, and ties it all to specific jobs or cost codes—making it easy to stay on top of hours, productivity, and project budgets. If someone forgets to clock out, you can set automatic rules based on job site geofences. Even with no signal, offline mode ensures time is always tracked and synced later. For crew scheduling, Workyard replaces whiteboards and spreadsheets with a drag-and-drop calendar. Assign jobs or shifts to individuals or teams, include job site details, checklists, and instructions, and send updates directly to the crew’s phones. Workers can view their schedule, mark tasks as complete, and upload notes or photos from the field—keeping you informed without the back-and-forth. Workyard also simplifies job costing. Every time entry is tagged to a job and (optionally) a cost code, so you can monitor labor spend in real time. Reports show where hours and dollars are going by employee, job, or phase—helping you identify overages before they become problems. The platform also tracks mileage and reimbursable drive time automatically, saving hours of manual logging and improving cost recovery. Labor compliance is built into the system. Break and overtime rules can be configured to meet state or union requirements, and Workyard trims timecards or sends reminders to keep your business in line. Use optional Smart Forms to collect safety checklists, equipment inspections, or incident reports at clock-in or clock-out. Each submission is time-stamped, stored by project, and audit-ready. To eliminate time theft, Workyard supports photo ID verification at clock-in, and geofencing ensures workers are where they’re supposed to be. Every timesheet includes a GPS audit trail and change history—providing a clear, defensible record of every shift. When it’s time to run payroll or invoice a job, Workyard integrates with tools like QuickBooks, ADP, Gusto, Sage 300 CRE, Foundation, and more. With one click, you can export approved time cards, cost codes, and labor data directly into your payroll or accounting system—reducing admin time and avoiding errors. Whether you run a construction crew, electrical shop, plumbing business, HVAC company, landscaping team, or general contracting firm, Workyard gives you the tools to track time, manage jobs, and control costs—without slowing you down. It’s easy to roll out to the field, simple to manage from the office, and powerful enough to scale as your operation grows. Workyard helps thousands of trade professionals stay on schedule, cut down on time waste, and manage projects more efficiently every day. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 100 users.

I can see where they went and how much time they spent there. It has been a real game changer for my company. > > **Cons**: So far, there is nothing that I don't like about this software. I know there is a lot of additional functionality that we don't' necessarily use, but may come in handy int he future. > > My experience with Workyard has been really positive. I feel like I can always get ahold of someone to help me if I have a question and there are tons of help articles to guide me if needed. The functionality of the timeclock and GPS has been really fantastic and exactly what we needed. ----- ### "Helpful for automating time and project management." — 5.0/5 > **Dina** | *19 December 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This app has helped us track how much time is spent at each project, and the techs are able to upload photos and mark down any notes they have on the job which aids in billing for extras and adding details for service calls. I use the task list to assign jobs each day. > > **Cons**: If an employee creates a note, it stays on the date they create it and doesn’t track back to the project they were on. > > We’re a small business, and Workyard has helped us to automate timecards and track details about the projects. With ps turned on we can also see where pur techs are and how long they spend at each location. ----- ### "Not good for construction companies doing government work" — 2.0/5 > **Becky** | *18 March 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Able to see where employees are in real time as long as there is signal availability. > > **Cons**: Only 3 pay categories allowed (we do prevailing wages and need much more than 3\!); notes do not transfer to Quickbooks; time consuming to set up for multiple crews on multiple sites; employees complain of drain on phone batteries; tracks employees location even when clocked out which EEs felt was a violation of privacy; sells data to third party; if you buy for a year there are NO refunds - so make sure you really like it before this purchase or start with monthly billing; staff had difficult time changing cost codes mid project which is critical for assessing profitability of job; no ability for vacation/sick/holiday input by employees; the above weaknesses unfortunately made for double entry of information so it did not save time or money from the perspective of the administration. > > Not worth it. SO many features needed for a construction company that they are in no way ready for. No one on WorkYard staff seems to understand prevailing wages and the need for documentation; too cumbersome for employees so compliance was low. Overall - it may be good for a small construction company that does only residential jobs and minimal job costing needs(?) ----- ### "Workyard pays for itself." — 5.0/5 > **Brette** | *15 March 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Project geofencing and gps. Total employee accountability. No more time cheating. We are saving thousands. > > **Cons**: I have issues with the reports. Would like another option added. Name, start, lunch in/out finish in editable xls format. Easier to add columns to fit my needs. I spend a lot of time simplifying the report for payroll. > > Extremely positive. Spend a little extra time explaining how it works to your staff. Workyard customer support is fantastic. No lingering issues. They resolve my concerns immediately. ----- ### "Workyard - The Best Way to Really Keep Track of How Company Time is Spent\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kristopher** | *10 July 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Workyard gives me all of the tools I want to manage employee time and location, while being very intuitive to use. The geofence features are so easy to use, and provide me with great information. > > **Cons**: Paid version is a bit more expensive than I would prefer, but it's definitely still a product worth having. > > The app and website are very well designed and appealing. Workyard has really helped me keep better track of how we are using out time as a company. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/359001/workyard?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/359001/workyard) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
