BusyBusy is a GPS time tracking and job costing app built for construction and other remote, field-based industries. Employees clock in and out from a mobile device, while office staff see hours, locations and project data in one place. The company positions it as a replacement for paper time cards and manual collection.
Beyond timekeeping, the platform covers equipment tracking, photos, documents, daily reports and safety tools. The company reports more than 383 million time card hours tracked and over 18 million digital daily safety sign-offs. These figures are self-reported and have not been independently verified.
How does BusyBusy work?
Employees clock in on their own device, supervisors can clock in an entire crew, or a company can set up kiosk mode so everyone clocks in at one place. Entries are tied to projects, cost codes and equipment. Offline mode keeps the clock working outside cell range.
Data flows to a web dashboard where managers filter job costing by project, employee, cost code, equipment and date. Time cards are signed digitally, and hours can be sent to accounting or payroll software through integrations. A live map shows employees, equipment and projects together.
Key features of BusyBusy
Field controls include Required Onsite, which blocks clock-ins outside the project boundary, and location-based or time-based reminders. Supervisor tools let one person clock in a crew, schedule breaks, switch cost codes and assign equipment. Facial recognition alerts the office if someone clocks in for another person.
Documentation features include GPS and time-stamped photos, document uploads, auto-generated daily reports and a daily sign-off confirming hours and injury status. Budgets compare estimated and actual labor cost and hours. Optional modules add safety observations, inspections, JSAs, training, incidents, certifications and resource planning.
Key Features
Three ways to clock in — Employees can clock in on their own device, supervisors can clock in a crew, or a company can use kiosk mode so everyone clocks in at one location.
Required Onsite and location reminders — Required Onsite blocks clock-in outside the project boundary. Location-based reminders alert employees when they arrive at or leave a job site, and time-based reminders are also available.
Offline mode — The time clock works regardless of cell range through Offline Mode.
Live GPS map — Employees, equipment and projects appear on one map with location history and what each person is working on.
Job costing and budgets — Data can be filtered by project, employee, cost code, equipment and date, with budget-versus-actual views for labor cost, hours, equipment and materials.
Digital time card signatures — Employees sign time cards digitally, optionally with a supervisor signature. The employee signature locks the time card and attaches a date.
Daily sign-off — A daily report records that the employee confirmed their time and notes any injuries or non-injuries.
Supervisor tools and auto daily reports — Supervisors can clock crews in and out, schedule breaks, switch cost codes, assign equipment and see who has signed time cards. Daily reports can auto-generate weather, hours, equipment and photos.
Facial recognition and kiosk mode — AI-based facial recognition notifies the office if someone clocks in for someone else.
Photos and documents — GPS and time-stamped photos are organized by project and date, and files such as site plans, permits and toolbox talks can be uploaded from web or mobile.
Incident reporting and OSHA forms — BusyBusy Incidents generates electronic OSHA forms 300, 300A and 301 and sends real-time notifications when an injury is reported.
Equipment tracking — Track equipment location, operators, machine hours, fuel consumption and service reports, with optional hour meters.
