TIME TRACKING SOFTWARE FOR PLUMBING & HVAC
Manage service calls, travel time, and payroll with time tracking software designed for plumbing, heating, and HVAC teams.
SERVICE CALL TIME TRACKING
CAPTURE EVERY BILLABLE HOUR
In plumbing and HVAC service work, revenue depends on billable hours. When technicians forget to log time, fail to track travel between jobs, or submit timesheets at the end of the week from memory, income is lost.
ShiftFlow enables technicians to clock in directly from the field and assign time to specific service calls or work orders. Travel time, repair time, and installation hours can all be recorded accurately. This ensures every billable hour is captured and properly invoiced, reducing revenue leakage across daily operations.
JOB COSTING FOR PLUMBING AND HEATING
TRACK LABOR BY JOB AND PROJECT
Accurate job costing is critical for plumbing and HVAC companies. An installation estimated at four hours that takes six can wipe out expected margin. ShiftFlow links technician hours to individual jobs, projects, and maintenance contracts, allowing managers to compare estimated versus actual labor time.
Clear visibility into labor costs helps contractors identify which types of jobs are consistently profitable and which ones require pricing adjustments. Better labor tracking leads to more accurate quotes, improved bidding decisions, and stronger long term profitability.
HVAC AND PLUMBING PAYROLL TRACKING
MANAGE OVERTIME AND CONTROL PAYROLL COSTS
Emergency repairs, after hours service, and seasonal demand spikes often result in overtime. Without automated tracking, payroll errors and overpayments become common.
ShiftFlow automatically records total hours worked and calculates overtime based on company policies or local labor regulations. Contractors gain structured payroll data for each technician, reducing disputes and keeping labor costs under control while maintaining compliance.
FIELD SERVICE OVERSIGHT
WORKFORCE VISIBILITY ACROSS MULTIPLE JOB SITES
Plumbing, heating and HVAC technicians spend most of their time on the road or at client properties. Managers need visibility without relying on phone calls or manual updates.
ShiftFlow provides centralized dashboards that show who is on which job, how many hours have been logged, and how labor is distributed across service calls and installations. This improves dispatch decisions, balances workloads, and ensures no work order is left untracked.
