WHY ENGINEERING TEAMS USE CLOCKON

More visibility for the company. More protection for the people doing the work.

Know the status of engineers attending customer premises without relying on phone calls or reconstructed timesheets.

FOR THE COMPANY

Manage risk, hours and field operations with better evidence.

✓
Safer lone visits

Engineers confirm arrival at customer premises and can use timed visit safety checks for appointments where they are working alone.

✓
Overdue visit alerts

If an engineer has not recorded leaving by the expected time, ClockOn can alert their nominated line manager and send an email.

✓
Journey visibility

See Setting Off, expected route context and Arrived events so management can understand when an engineer is on the way.

✓
Client delay evidence

Capture customer/site delays with notes, GPS and photographs to explain lost time and support commercial discussions.

✓
Working-hour limits

Monitor travel plus working time and flag unusually long days before they become a repeated safety or fatigue issue.

✓
Accurate payroll data

Recorded hours and overtime feed clear management and payroll reports rather than relying on handwritten sheets.

FOR STAFF

A simple app that protects the worker as well as the timesheet.

Engineers get a quick workflow that records what actually happened and gives them backup when they are working alone.

✓
Someone knows you arrived

A GPS-verified arrival gives your company confirmation that you reached the customer or site.

✓
Overrunning visits are noticed

If an appointment takes longer than expected, your line manager can be alerted rather than assuming everything is fine.

✓
Overtime is captured

Late finishes and longer jobs are recorded against the working day so the hours can reach Payroll quickly.

✓
Customer delays are recorded

Add a note and photo when access, parts, isolation or another customer issue prevents work starting.

✓
Travel is part of the record

The journey from home or the previous job is recorded alongside the work itself.

✓
No continuous tracking

ClockOn records GPS at important work and safety events rather than following you constantly in the background.

FREE OPTIONAL HOLIDAY PLANNER

Add holiday management for the staff who need it — with no extra charge.

Holiday Planner is included with ClockOn. Enable it for individual staff members so they can request leave, see their booked days and allowance, and request cancellations directly from the same app they already use for work.

ClockOn Holiday Planner shown on desktop and mobile

Request holidays in ClockOn

Staff get a clear, responsive Holiday Planner showing allowance, approved leave, pending requests and remaining days.

Approve requests & cancellations

Requests go to the employee's existing line manager. Approved holiday cancellations also require manager approval before days are returned.

See who is off

The company Holiday Calendar gives managers an at-a-glance view of approved and pending leave across the team.

LONE & MOBILE WORKER SAFETY

If a lone customer visit overruns, somebody can know.

An engineer can confirm Arrived, enter the expected visit duration and continue working. If they do not record leaving by the expected time, ClockOn can escalate the visit to their nominated line manager.

Supports your procedures. ClockOn provides timestamped records, alerts and workforce visibility that can support health & safety, lone-working and working-time processes. It does not replace your organisation's risk assessments, emergency procedures or legal duties.

SAFETY + WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT

The safety layer sits on top of the operational information the business already needs.

ClockOn helps companies protect staff while producing a more accurate record of the working day.

Working-hour visibility

Driving and work events contribute to daily totals so unusually long days can be identified.

Overtime records

Actual event times help make sure additional hours are visible and reach Payroll faster.

Accommodation

Multi-day workers can finish at accommodation instead of being incorrectly shown as home.

Payroll preparation

Authorised users can review hours, overtime, pay settings, sickness and absence information.

Journey context

Google Routes comparisons can help managers understand travel time and larger journey variances.

Client Delay

Record time lost to access or client issues with notes and supporting images where relevant.

STAFF PRIVACY

Safety visibility without constant surveillance.

ClockOn does not need to continuously follow a worker around. GPS is requested at important actions such as Setting Off, Arrived, Leaving and Finished, and at defined safety events where the company has enabled them.

This gives managers useful evidence while keeping the employee workflow clear and proportionate.

SEE THE REAL PRODUCT
