THE PROBLEM
No idea where the time goes
You don't know if the BMW job was profitable. Estimated 8 hours, actually 14. But you'll never find out — because nobody tracked time
Without time tracking, post-calculation is just guesswork
THE SOLUTION
Simple time tracking on the job
Start/stop timer. Assign activity types
Time entries feed directly into post-calculation
- Start/stop timer
- Manual entries
- Activity types
- Reports and export
- Job post-calculation
How it works
Start timer
On the job
Assign activity
Production, installation, etc
Stop timer
Or enter manually later

Reports per staff member or project
Time tracking in trades has two problems: it gets forgotten, and the data is useless because it is not linked to jobs. PlotonIQ time tracking is directly attached to the job — every hour is assigned to the right task and flows automatically into post-calculation and invoicing
Time tracking that actually helps
Start the timer directly on the job — from the Kanban card or the employee app
Select activity type: production, installation, travel, office — for later analysis
Stop the timer or manually enter past time blocks
Times flow automatically into post-calculation and invoicing when needed
YOUR BENEFITS
- ✓Hourly rate analysis per job for real post-calculation
- ✓Activity types show where time is being lost
- ✓Manual back-entry for past time blocks
- ✓Export for payroll and accountants
- ✓Connection to invoicing for time-based billing

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I correct time entries retroactively?
Yes. Admins can correct all time entries. Employees can adjust their own entries within 24 hours
How is time tracking used for invoices?
For time-billed jobs, entries are transferred directly to invoice line items. You see the hourly rate and hours worked
Is this legally compliant time tracking?
Yes. Time tracking meets the requirements of the Working Time Act — minimum breaks are automatically flagged, overtime shown
Can I track multiple activities in parallel?
No. An employee can only have one active timer. Manual entries are recommended for parallel activities
