Maintenance hours, property by property

Your technicians cover a portfolio: three apartment complexes before lunch, a retail center in the afternoon, an HOA pool on the way back. Owners want to know what their building cost in labor. GEOTT checks each clock-in at the property, records every move between buildings, and gives you the hours per property at month-end.

$7 per active worker a month · no charge per building · 15-day trial, no card

Property maintenance technician walking through an apartment complex — One circle covers the whole complex, so a tech walking between buildings stays on the same property.

What do property maintenance companies need from a time clock?

Three answers per technician, every day: which properties they were at, for how long, and whether the hours are trustworthy enough to pass on to the owner or the HOA board. A geofence per property answers the first, site changes answer the second, and the change log answers the third.

Questions owners ask, and where GEOTT answers them
The owner asks	GEOTT shows
"How many hours did my building take this month?"	The by-project export, one line per property and worker
"Was your tech really here on Tuesday?"	The punch on that property, inside its geofence, with the time
"Who changed these hours?"	The change log: who, when, before and after, and why
"Why is there an after-hours entry?"	The session, its site, and night-work rules if you use them

How do maintenance techs move between properties in GEOTT?

They clock in at the first property of the day and switch site at each next one. Each switch reads the phone's position once, checks it against the new property's circle and closes the time on the previous one. Nothing is recorded on the drive. At clock-out, the day is already split by property.

One site per property

Each complex, center or office building gets its own circle, sized to the lot. Rename projects "Site" or "Job" if that's what your techs say.

Site change, one tap

Moving to the next property is one tap, checked against that property's geofence, without clocking out and in again.

Managers per portfolio

A regional manager gets rights on their properties only: hours, files and messages, nothing outside their portfolio.

Change log

Every correction to hours keeps the old value, the new one and the reason. Useful when a board questions a bill.

What does a month of hours per property look like?

Below is a sample month with invented properties for a team of 5 technicians. The by-project export splits 840 worked hours across six properties and the shop. Put each line next to that owner's contract and you can see which buildings run over their budget.

Sample data: 5 technicians, one month
Property (sample)	Type	Hours
Oak Ridge apartments, 240 units	Residential	260
Maple Court apartments, 120 units	Residential	150
Lakeside HOA, pool and grounds	HOA	90
Northgate retail center	Retail	140
Riverside office building	Office	120
Medical plaza	Office	50
Shop and parts runs	Internal	30

GEOTT doesn't bill owners or manage work orders: it provides the hours. The full list of exports and reports is on the features page.

How large should a property's geofence be?

Large enough for the whole property plus GPS error. Under open sky phones are typically within 4.9 m (16 ft), says GPS.gov; between buildings and indoors the error grows. A complex spread over several blocks needs a wide circle; a single office building a small one.

After the first week GEOTT tells you if honest punches keep landing just outside. More on geofence time tracking.

Starting points by property
Property	Suggested radius
Single office building	80 m (about 260 ft)
Retail center with parking	200 m (about 660 ft)
Apartment complex	250 m (about 820 ft)
HOA community	500 m (about 1,640 ft)

What does GEOTT cost for a maintenance company?

$7 a month per technician who clocked in that month, whatever the number of properties. Five technicians cost $35 a month; 40 properties cost nothing extra. Admins and portfolio managers who don't clock in are free, and there is no annual plan.

Property maintenance questions

What is the best time tracking app for maintenance technicians?

One that records hours per property as techs move through a portfolio, proves each visit with a punch inside the property's geofence, and keeps a log of corrections. GEOTT does that for $7 per active worker, with no charge per building.

Does GEOTT handle work orders?

No. GEOTT is a time clock: it records where and when work started and ended, and turns punches into hours. Keep your work-order or property software for tickets and invoices, and use GEOTT's hours per property next to it.

What about after-hours emergency calls?

The tech clocks in at the property as usual, at any hour. If you use a night-work window, those hours are counted in that category automatically, and the session shows up in the weekly view the next morning.

Can owners log in and see the hours?

GEOTT accounts are for your company: admins, managers and workers. To share hours with an owner, send them the Excel export for their property. Positions stay visible only to admins and the manager of that property.

Which other crews use GEOTT?

Any company whose people start the day on a job site instead of in an office. Each page takes one trade, its typical day and the radius that fits its sites.

How do I try GEOTT on my portfolio?

Add the properties one technician covers in a week, send the link and let them work as usual. At the end of the trial you'll have real hours per property. The trial lasts 15 days, needs no credit card and doesn't bill automatically when it ends.
