Roofing crews short jobs · new addresses · weather stops
A roofing crew tears off and reshingles a house in one to three days, then moves on. Rain stops the work halfway, a repair gets squeezed in between two jobs, and Friday's timesheet tries to remember it all. GEOTT sets up each roof in seconds, checks every punch against it, and bills only the workers who actually clocked in that month.

Because the job site changes every few days and nobody from the office is on the roof. A crew of five can work four houses and a repair in one week, plus half a rain day. Paper sheets turn that into round numbers. GEOTT records each punch on the roof it belongs to, at the moment it happens.
| Headache | How GEOTT handles it |
|---|---|
| A new address every Monday | An admin on site creates the job with "I'm here", one reading of their own position |
| Rain at 10 a.m., crew sent home | Clock-out at the job; the half day is recorded as it happened |
| Repair squeezed in between two re-roofs | Site change to the repair, then back, with hours split |
| Seasonal hires and a slow winter | Only workers who clocked in that month are billed |
In under a minute. The owner or a foreman with admin rights opens GEOTT at the house, taps "I'm here" to create the site from their own position, keeps the suggested radius and assigns the crew. The crew taps clock-in. From then on every punch on that roof is checked against its circle.
"I'm here" uses the admin's position once. Or type the address from the office the night before.
Pick the crew; the job shows up in their list. Reminders go out at the start time you set.
One tap per worker. Valid inside the circle; outside it is refused or flagged, your choice.
When the roof is done, close the project: no more punches, history kept for warranty questions.
A sample week with invented jobs for a crew of five: three re-roofs, one repair and a rain stop on Wednesday. GEOTT shows 170 hours across four jobs, with Wednesday's half day recorded as worked time instead of a full day or a blank.
| Day | Job (sample) | Crew hours | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | Ranch house tear-off | 45 | Site created with "I'm here" at 6:50 a.m. |
| Tuesday | Ranch house, finish + Two-story re-roof | 45 | Site change at 1 p.m. |
| Wednesday | Two-story re-roof | 15 | Rain, crew clocked out at 10 a.m. |
| Thursday | Two-story re-roof + Leak repair | 40 | Two workers on the repair for 3 hours |
| Friday | Duplex re-roof (start) | 25 | Half day, crew of five |
Rain days, long summer days and overtime after 40 hours a week are counted with the rules you set once. The step-by-step explanation of any total is on the features page.
A small one. Roofs have open sky, where phones are typically accurate to about 4.9 m (16 ft) according to GPS.gov. A 50 m (165 ft) circle around a house covers the lot, the driveway with the dumpster and the curb where the truck parks, without reaching the neighbor's yard across the street.
More on sizing: geofence time tracking.
| Job | Suggested radius |
|---|---|
| Single-family house | 50 m (about 165 ft) |
| Duplex or townhome row | 80 m (about 260 ft) |
| Commercial flat roof | 150 m (about 490 ft) |
| Apartment complex re-roof | 250 m (about 820 ft) |
$7 per worker who clocked in during the month. Two crews of five cost $70 in a busy month; in January, with one crew working repairs, $35. Nothing per job, nothing for admins, no annual plan, so the bill follows the season instead of a contract.

Roofing questions
One where a new job takes seconds to set up, each punch is checked on that roof, and a slow season costs less on its own. GEOTT does those for $7 per active worker. It opens from a link on any phone, without an app store.
Only admins create sites, so a worker can't invent a job site. Give your foreman admin rights if they're the one who arrives first; "I'm here" then reads their position once to place the site. Workers' positions are never used to create sites.
As they happen: the crew clocks out when work stops, and the hours worked before the rain are on the job. If someone forgets to clock out, the session closes on its own after the limit you set, with a flag for you to check.
Yes. Some states require written notice of electronic monitoring. GEOTT shows each worker a notice to confirm before the first punch. Read the state rules in is GPS tracking of employees legal?
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.
Construction Two or three sites a day, basements with no signal.
Commercial cleaning Many buildings a night, short shifts, hours per building.
Landscaping and lawn care Six properties a day, quiet winters that cost nothing.
HVAC Installs and maintenance contracts, rooftops and mechanical rooms.
Plumbing Rough-ins, remodels and service contracts, often below ground.
Electrical Long commercial jobs, crews split between projects.
Property maintenance A portfolio of buildings and hours you can bill per property. Roofing One- to three-day jobs, weather stops, new site every week.
Painting Interior and exterior jobs, crews that move mid-week.
Solar installation A house or two a day, rural roads, big utility sites.
Restoration Emergency calls, drying visits, basements with no bars.
Pest control Commercial accounts and crews on recurring sites.
Security guards Fixed posts, night shifts and reliefs that start on time.
Agriculture Seasonal crews, large fields, no signal on the back forty.
Events and catering A new venue every day and temporary staff.Create your next job with "I'm here" when you arrive, send the crew the link and let them clock in for the trial. After two weeks you'll have every roof's hours. The trial lasts 15 days, needs no credit card and ends without an automatic bill.
