SubmittedThe whole time-tracking workflow
Track time once, use it for payroll AND profitability
Every pain below comes from contractors juggling paper timecards, separate GPS trackers, and disconnected job-costing spreadsheets. Each maps to a specific Breche feature.
The pain
Paper time cards collected on Monday for the prior week.
What Breche does
Field users clock in / out on the Breche mobile app — one tap. The week is built as work happens, not reconstructed from memory. By Monday morning the timesheet is already in the system, ready for review and payroll.
The pain
No way to verify a worker was actually on the job site.
What Breche does
GPS coordinates + reverse-geocoded address are captured on every clock-in and clock-out. Optional clock-in photo for visual confirmation. Admins reviewing timesheets see a small map preview per entry — discrepancies surface before payroll runs, not after.
The pain
Lunch breaks padded onto end-of-day; straight time vs. break time impossible to separate.
What Breche does
Breaks are logged as their own entries (lunch, short, custom) with start + end timestamps. Straight time and break time are tracked at the entry level — payroll exports cleanly without somebody hand-subtracting break time from a daily total.
The pain
Workers can't clock in because the basement / attic / rural site has no signal.
What Breche does
Clock-in, clock-out, breaks, and photos all queue locally when offline and sync the moment service returns. No retries, no lost time. The app is built for the assumption that field crews work where bars don't.
The pain
Approving the weekly timesheet is a 90-minute Friday ritual with paper highlighter passes.
What Breche does
Workers submit a week with one tap; admins review every entry on the web with project, hours, breaks, GPS, and any photo visible inline. Approve or reject (with comment) per entry. Approved entries lock from edit and become the basis for payroll. Rejection routes back to the worker with the reason.
The pain
Job profitability ignores actual labor cost because it's tracked in a different system.
What Breche does
Approved time entries with a labor rate roll up into the project's actual labor cost. The Profitability report pulls labor + materials + subs to show estimate vs. actual margin per project. Tagging an entry with a specific estimate line gives you per-line job costing, not just project-level.
Features
Every part of the time-clock loop
Mobile clock-in / clock-out
One tap on the Breche mobile app. Captures user, project, timestamp, and GPS in a single action — no nested menus to dig through on a job site.
GPS + reverse-geocoded address
Latitude, longitude, and a street-address label are stored on every entry. Admin timesheet review shows a map preview so on-site verification is one glance, not a phone call.
Break tracking
Lunch, short break, and custom break types log as discrete entries with their own timestamps. Straight time and break time stay separable for payroll, not buried in a daily total.
Offline queueing
Clock actions and photos queue locally when offline. The moment service returns, they sync. Field crews don't lose time chasing bars.
Optional clock-in photos
Snap a photo at clock-in for visual confirmation — site condition, headcount, daily-progress shot. Stored on the entry alongside GPS.
Approval workflow with audit trail
Workers submit, admins review per entry, approve or reject with comments. Approved entries lock from edit. Full approval history per entry — payroll runs are auditable end to end.
Manual entries on web
Office staff and admins can backfill or correct entries from the web app. Manual entries are flagged distinctly (no GPS) so the approver knows what they're reviewing.
Labor roll-up into job costing
Approved entries × rate = actual labor cost on the project. Optional per-line tagging assigns labor cost to specific estimate lines. Profitability report compares estimate vs. actual at the level you choose.
