We love The JobClock! I bet we saved $600 the first week.

The JobClock System is so helpful and awesome! I was thinking to myself, "How can I keep time?" I actually saw one of my workers a mile from the jobsite while I was driving by, when he was supposed to be on the jobsite! I was so excited when I came home after seeing the JobClock and having another company show me how they use it! I ordered it and set it up right away. It just adds to my business and is so professional. You can print out a report, attach it to the workers' paychecks and there's no dispute.

My guys actually like it because they don't have to fill out the time sheets anymore. It looks more professional and it's just the bomb, it
really is!

The JobClock System has been the best investment our company has ever made. It paid for itself and started making money for us within a few months of using it. Using the JobClock has eased the stress of owning a small business and managing employees. I would HIGHLY recommend your system to every business with employees.

Nine times out of ten, you’ll find Jason Kirkpatrick out of the office, either at a jobsite or meeting with a client. When quality of service and craftsmanship are what set your company apart, that’s the way it’s got to be. “I’m a master carpenter by trade and a residential construction project manager with fourteen years in the business,” says Kirkpatrick. “Having both backgrounds has given my business a leg up.”

For over seven years, Kirkpatrick’s Construction, has operated as a highend residential remodeler. The company specializes in complicated projects—projects that other contractors won’t touch. With eight full-time and part-time staff, Kirkpatrick believes that personal integrity and constant communication are the cornerstones of his business.

“We get 90 percent of our business from word-of-mouth,” he says. “That comes from the quality of our service as much as the quality of what we design and build. Managing projects well and meeting with customers at least once a week helped us get a 100 percent approval rating on each of our last twenty-one jobs.”

When he started his own company, Kirkpatrick was determined to run his business with a family approach, including making sure that he and his team get constant training and education to improve how they operate. He also focused on getting cost savings by using the management tools that he knew from working for a much larger firm. One of those tools was The JobClock System, which he uses to accurately track time and attendance, including tracking cost codes to see how workers spend their time. That kind of detailed information can produce some unexpected savings.

“I asked the guys on a job how many times they thought they went to Home Depot in the past week. They said five times, but were really amazed when I told them that it was fifteen times,” said Kirkpatrick. “Guys don’t understand how this stuff adds up. We had spent over $5,000 in time and fuel getting $1,500 in materials!” As a result, they now do a better job of consolidating their store runs.

But that was the icing on the cake. The big savings came from fixing the inaccuracy of time sheets. After starting to use the JobClock, it turned out that all of Kirkpatrick’s timesheets were off by twenty to thirty minutes per day. “It wasn’t intentional. When the guys fill out their sheets at the end of the week, they just don’t remember when they arrived, took lunch and left,” says Kirkpatrick. “And they don’t look at the big picture, that being off twenty minutes per day is the equivalent of two weeks of paid time off per year.”

Reduced overtime and lower workers’ comp costs added to the savings. Overall, The JobClock System saves Kirkpatrick over $25,000 a year. He now uses that money to provide health insurance for his employees.

Another benefit was the improvement in bidding future jobs, where having accurate information at his fingertips made a big difference. “The JobClock showed how inaccurate our job costing was. And when it comes to estimating work, you know it’s garbage-in, garbage-out.”

The savings so impressed Kirkpatrick that he tells others about the JobClock at meetings of the Remodelers Advantage Roundtable and at meetings of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. “I’m a big believer in learning from others and sharing with others,” he says. “I take personal referrals seriously since my business is built on them, so I don’t recommend what I don’t use and believe in myself.”

In fact, Kirkpatrick even uses The JobClock System to track his own time. “I keep a JobClock in my truck and clock in for sales calls, for customer meetings, for travel time, etc. It lets me see how I use my time, and track the overhead associated with my jobs. And while I might be the project manager today, eventually I’ll hire someone for that position. I want to know what expectations I should have for that person’s time.”

Jason might be out of the office 90 percent of the time, but he knows that his time is well spent.

 What do other recent customers say?

I have used the time clocks for 1 month (2 pay periods) and they have already paid for themselves. "Great Product"

Our 12 JobClocks paid for themselves in just a couple of months. Not only do we save on labor costs, we keep better track of our job time and we know exactly where our men are. Getting The JobClock System is one of the best decisions we’ve made.”
