Jobber alternative

A Jobber alternative for crew time tracking

Jobber includes time tracking, and for a solo tech logging hours against a visit it works. Crew-based contractors need more: jobsite GPS, job-tagged hours that roll up into labor cost per job, mid-day job switching, and overtime that calculates itself. This is where a time clock built for crews pulls ahead.

Updated June 28, 2026

What crew time tracking needs

  • Location at clock-in, because work happens at the jobsite, not a fixed door.
  • Hours tagged to a job, so labor rolls up into cost per job — not just a payroll total.
  • Mid-day job switching, so a worker who moves between sites splits hours correctly without clocking out and back in.
  • Overtime and break rules (federal + state) calculated from accurate source data.
  • Offline capture for sites with no signal.

How Vexor handles it

Vexor's time clock captures location at clock-in, tags every entry to the job, and lets crews switch jobs during the day so hours land on the right job automatically. Foremen approve the week and approved hours roll up into labor cost per job — and because the clock lives in the same workspace as the jobs and schedule, there is no integration to maintain. It works offline and syncs when the device is back in range.
