Anthony Harp
Track all of your painters and decorators throughout their workday
With real-time activity tracking, you can check if your crew is working, on a break, or enjoying some time off.
Clock in and out
Tap the giant pulsating clock in/out button to start tracking time.
Track breaks
Track breaks and categorize them as either paid or unpaid.
Manage overtime
Decide if overtime should be tracked, and if so, whether it’s calculated weekly, daily or daily double.
Write notes
Add notes directly to time tracking records. For example, your crew can record their job progress, the shades of paint they need, or supplies to be ordered.
Add time off
Add time off such as vacations and sick leave to help managers understand who’s available. Useful for handling last-minute schedule changes, or dealing with unexpected absences.
Switch between jobs
Use job codes to categorize time being tracked. For example, categorize each type of job (e.g. interior decorating, exterior decorating) or type of client (residential, commercial).
Get helpful reminders so your painters never forget to clock in!
When your workers are in the middle of a paint job, it can be easy to lose track of time. That’s why whenever they enter or leave a job site, and at their normal start and end time, we’ll remind them to clock-in and out. And if they happen to forget, they can add a manual time entry for you to review later.
Allow your supervisor to track your painting crew’s time
Painting large properties or doing a commercial renovation requires your crew to work together. Instead of having each painter or decorator track their time individually, your on-the-job supervisor can use Atto to clock in and out on their behalf.
Keep track of your painting and decorating crew as they work throughout the day
Respond to absenteeism and last-minute schedule changes
When a van breaks down, or a painter calls-in sick, you need to be able to deploy other workers to finish the job. Instantly, Atto shows you which of your painters and decorators are nearby and available to work – without having to call around.
Stop painters from clocking in until they’re ready to work
If you’re reliant on paper timesheets, it’s hard to verify that your painters and decorators are turning up on-time. With Atto, you can set the location of any job site and restrict workers from clocking in until they’re physically present.
Track the locations of your workers and the progress of paint jobs in real-time
When your painting crew is dealing with different jobs in different locations, it can be hard to keep track of what’s going on. With Atto, you can track the live locations of your entire workforce. Check how long your crew has been working on each job. And, get notifications to inform you of their latest work activity.
View a map-based timeline of your painters’ and decorators’ daily movements
Check how productive your painters’ are. Atto generates a map of each painter’s and decorator’s daily movements, providing a timeline of what they were up to while working. Use it to check how long was spent at each job, along with the routing they took while on the clock
Everything you need to keep painting and decorating jobs on schedule and on budget
Avoid surprises by forecasting wages ahead of payday
Add your painters’ and decorators’ pay rates and automatically estimate their pay based on the hours they track. Now, there’ll be no more payroll surprises at the end of the week!
From painting to decorating, see how much work each team completed
Want to check if a job is running to budget? Need to see how much your painters are costing you compared to your decorators? In a few taps, Atto generates timesheet summaries to show all the work done on a specific job, or by a specific team.
Eliminate “guesstimates” to bill your customers more accurately
When you charge your customers for hourly labor costs, relying on “guesstimated” job time can be costly. Not only might you under/overcharge them, but if an invoice is challenged, it’s hard to verify who’s in the right. With Atto, time records are precise and verified with location data, so you can confidently bill customers for every minute spent on the job
Reduce the admin time taken to run your payroll
To reduce admin time, Atto automatically emails you a timesheet report that coincides with your payroll period. Now all you need to do is input the data into your payroll system – saving hours from the process
Win high-value jobs with more competitive quotes
Your ability to estimate your labor costs impacts whether your job quotes are profitable and competitive. With Atto, you can check the time your painters’ and decorators’ took to complete similar jobs, and use it to create more precise quotes in the future
Say goodbye to paper timesheets!
Switch to Atto, an easier and more accurate time-tracking solution for painting and decorating companies.
The old way with paper timesheets
Paper timesheets get lost or damaged outdoors.
No easy way to verify time-tracking records.
Time records often get rounded or “guesstimated” resulting in time wastage and additional payroll costs.
Estimating the labor costs of each job is time-consuming.
Finding out where your crew are and what they’re working on requires lots of back-and-forth phone calls.
Lots of admin time is required to collect timesheets, verify records, and enter them into your payroll system.
The new way with atto
Time-tracking data is recorded electronically, and timesheets are automatically created for you.
Atto’s productivity tracking software for construction is incomparable. Using GPS tracking, it can provide daily movement summaries of each worker.
Atto’s simple timesheet app tracks time to the nearest second and allows you to restrict your crew from clocking-in until they’re at the job site.
You can input your crews’ individual pay rates and categorize their work using job and timesheet codes, so you can see if projects are on budget.
You can log in to Atto’s mobile timesheet app and see where all your crew are in real-time.
Time tracking data is verified, and timesheets are generated automatically. All you have to do is input the data from Atto into your payroll system.
