RECORDED BY GPS · NOTHING TYPED
01How GPS tracking actually works
Triggered by a boundary, not by a clock.
Punchless tracks four states: at shop, in transit, on site, and unknown stop. Geofence crossings at your shop and job sites trigger the state transitions - the events that build the timecard.
GPS is active during shift hours. Managers can see live crew locations on the map. Drive time is logged as in-transit, time at a job site is on-site. Both end up in the draft timecard - without anyone touching the app.
02The case for switching
Punchless vs. Manual timecards.
Manual timecards cost field service companies an average of 5% of payroll in overpayments, disputes, and admin time. Here's why it keeps happening.

03The engine
Three signals replace the entire timecard conversation.
GPS does the remembering
Every movement, stop, transit, and job arrival is captured automatically while your crew works. The engine cross-references that data with geofences, scheduled jobs, and work-order history to draft a review-ready timecard by end of shift.
No punch-ins. No end-of-day forms. No calls asking what time someone left a job. The system builds the record; your team confirms it.

06FAQ
Questions your team will ask.
Especially the ones about being tracked.
Does Punchless track employees all day long?
Only during shift hours. When a technician starts their shift, GPS tracking activates and their location becomes visible to their manager on the live crew map. When the shift ends or the app closes, tracking stops completely. Nothing is collected on personal time, evenings, or weekends.
What about personal time and lunch breaks?
Punchless is only active during shift hours. During a shift, a technician's location is visible to their manager - that is how the live crew map works. If a technician needs privacy during the workday, the one-tap Pause button stops all tracking until they resume. When the shift ends, tracking stops entirely.
Can employees see their own location data?
Yes. Technicians can review their own timecard entries and the GPS events that generated them directly in the mobile app. There are no hidden records.
What if the GPS clock-in time is wrong?
Managers can edit any GPS-generated timecard before approval. The GPS record is always a draft - human review is the final step. The override is logged in the audit trail.
Is GPS tracking of employees legal?
In most U.S. states, yes - with proper written disclosure to employees before enrollment. Our Terms of Service require administrators to obtain any consent required by their local employment law. We recommend a written GPS policy in your employee handbook. We are not a law firm and this is not legal advice.
Will background GPS drain the phone battery?
Geofence-based tracking uses a fraction of the battery that continuous GPS polling does. The app relies on the phone's native geofencing APIs rather than constant GPS polling. In practice, most technicians see between 8–15% of daily battery used over a full work shift — comparable to having Maps open occasionally.
What happens to GPS data when an employee leaves the company?
GPS location data is retained for 12 months then permanently deleted. Approved timecard records are kept for 7 years for payroll compliance. When an employee is removed from your account, their data remains associated with your company account, not their personal profile.
