Track Time and GPS Location on Jobs

Track how long technicians spend on each job, verify GPS at clock-in, and pull reports by job or technician.

Written by Sophia Martinez

Joby tracks how long every technician spends on each job, plus their GPS location when they clock in and out. Dispatchers and office staff can use the data to verify on-site work, bill labor accurately, and spot ZIP mismatches that suggest a tech wasn't where they said they were.


1. Open the job

Click any job ID from the Jobs page or your dashboard to open the job details.

3. Start the job timer

4. Check GPS and ZIP mismatch alerts

Joby compares the technician's GPS location at clock-in to the job's address. If the ZIPs don't match, you'll see a red mismatch alert so you can investigate before billing the customer.
