Time tracking for plumbing crews, from the first call to payroll.
Service plumbers clock in at the customer's house, rough-in crews at the job site, and the office sees it the moment it happens. Each punch carries the job and cost code, overtime shows up mid-week, journeyman and master licenses get expiry alerts, and approved hours export to your payroll provider.
14 days freeNo credit card requiredEvery feature included

Built around how a plumbing week actually runs.
GPS on the punch, by job, from the first stop.
Plumbers clock in on their phone when they arrive at a call or job site. PunchPro records the location at that moment and shows it against the job. Between calls, nothing is tracked — you verify the punch, not the route.
- Job and cost code selected at clock-in
- Location shown against the assigned job
- Works for service calls, rough-in and shop time
Labor hours by job and cost code, before the job closes.
Every punch carries a job and a cost code, so rough-in, trim-out and service labor roll up separately. You see where hours went while the job is still open, not after the invoice goes out.
- Cost codes assigned per job and per employee
- Hours by job, code and plumber, exportable
- Overtime shown by job before it hits payroll
Journeyman, master and backflow certs that warn you before they lapse.
Every plumber's state license, backflow certification, driver's license and vehicle paperwork live on their employee record with expiry dates. PunchPro alerts you weeks ahead, so no one shows up to a permitted job without a current card.
- Expiry alerts on licenses and certifications
- Documents filed to each plumber's record
- New hires sign handbook and safety policies before their first punch
Guardrails before you approve. Export to the payroll you already run.
Timecards with missed punches, unexpected overtime or edits are flagged before the period locks, with one-tap fixes and an audit trail. Approved hours export to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex or Paycom, so nothing changes on the payroll side.
- Configurable guardrails: Off / Warn / Block
- Flagged timecards surfaced first, bulk approval for the rest
- Export to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Paycom

Plumbing time tracking questions, answered plainly.
Does PunchPro replace my plumbing field service software?
No. PunchPro handles people, time, scheduling, PTO, HR and payroll prep. It works alongside dispatch, estimating and invoicing tools; your plumbers clock in on PunchPro and the office keeps its existing field service system.
Does it track my plumbers between calls?
No. Location is recorded at clock-in and clock-out only. PunchPro does not record routes, mileage or drive time.
Can a plumber switch jobs during the day?
Yes. A plumber can switch from one job or cost code to another without clocking out, and hours split accordingly.
Does it track plumbing licenses and backflow certifications?
Yes. Licenses and certifications live on each employee's record with expiry dates and alerts.
What payroll providers does it export to?
QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Paycom. You review and approve hours in PunchPro, then export to the payroll you already run.
How much does PunchPro cost for a plumbing company?
$39.99 per month per business plus $7 per active employee per month, every feature included. A 10-person team is $109.99 per month. 14-day free trial, no credit card.
