Our company relies heavily on JobNimbus as our central hub for job management and communication. One critical feature missing from the platform is a time clock system that allows employees to clock in/out and assign their hours to specific jobs directly within JobNimbus.

At one time, I used QuickBooks Payroll—not the best payroll solution overall, but its built-in time clock allowed workers to clock in/out and switch jobs throughout the day. Our new payroll service, while stronger in other areas, does not include native time tracking without an add-on. Even with the add-on, it is not integrated with JobNimbus, which makes it extremely difficult—if not impossible—to load all of our job data into their system.

This leaves me with two options: pay for QuickBooks Online’s minimum payroll plan just to track time and jobs, or track time directly in JobNimbus where all of our jobs are already housed. Clearly, the second option is the most efficient, as it consolidates everything into the single app our crews already use every day.

In real-world operations, the need for this becomes even more obvious. I recently had an insurance company deny $1,000 in billable charges because I could not produce time logs verifying that our workers were actually present on the job during the billed period. With a JobNimbus time clock, I would have had indisputable documentation. Homeowners also occasionally claim, “No one has been on the job in a week.” With a built-in time clock, I can immediately pull up records of exactly which days and times our employees were present. This eliminates misunderstandings—often one spouse not updating the other—and builds trust.

The operational benefits extend further. Forcing employees to toggle between multiple apps (a payroll system for time tracking and JobNimbus for job data) creates confusion, increases training burden, and reduces adoption. By consolidating into JobNimbus, we keep everything in one familiar system. Accurate time tracking at the job level would also dramatically improve our cost reporting, profitability analysis, and ability to hold crews accountable.

This feature is important enough that I would pay an additional $50 per month to have it integrated. Given the risk of lost revenue from disputes and the potential for improved efficiency, this cost would be offset many times over.

Adding a native time clock system in JobNimbus is not just a convenience—it solves real, ongoing business problems and provides measurable value. It keeps employees in one app, strengthens insurance claim documentation, resolves customer disputes, and improves job costing. Most importantly, it keeps JobNimbus at the center of daily operations without requiring us to maintain duplicate systems.

It would be incredibly valuable to have a time-tracking feature in JobNimbus that allows employees and managers to punch in or manually enter labor hours directly each day. This would streamline job costing by tracking labor costs more efficiently without relying on third-party software.

Key benefits:
- Integration with popular payroll and accounting software like ADP and QuickBooks.
- Ability to export hours seamlessly for payroll processing.

I’d gladly pay extra for this feature as it would save significant time and simplify tracking labor costs, which is currently cumbersome and expensive through third-party tools.

Thank you for considering this!
