GPS Time Clock App for Hourly Teams | PunchPro

GPS time clock app

A GPS time clock app that verifies the punch, not the day.

Employees clock in from their phone; PunchPro records the location at that moment and shows it against the assigned site. No breadcrumb trails, no battery drain, no awkward conversation. Hours flow into timesheets, payroll review and your payroll export.

14 days freeNo credit card requiredEvery feature included

Who it's for

Built for any business whose people work somewhere other than a desk.

PunchPro fits if…

  • Your crew clocks in at job sites, client homes, stores or routes
  • You want proof the punch happened on site without surveillance
  • You export hours to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex or Paycom
  • You'd rather have scheduling, PTO and HR in the same app

Look elsewhere if…

  • You need live maps, breadcrumbs or mileage between stops
  • You need geofences that block punches outside a boundary
  • You bill clients by project hours rather than pay by the hour

Also works for…

  • Office and desk-based hourly teams (location simply shows the office)
  • Kiosk clock-in on a shared tablet
  • Mixed teams: some in the field, some in the shop
Side by side

What a GPS time clock app should include.

Most GPS clock apps stop at the timesheet. Here is what PunchPro bundles on every account against what a typical standalone app ships.

How it works

From the punch to the paycheck.

GPS on the punch

Location at clock-in and clock-out. Nothing in between.

PunchPro records where a punch happened so you can confirm someone was at the site, the store or the client's home. It does not follow employees between punches, which keeps the privacy conversation with your crew short.

  • Location captured at punch-in and punch-out only
  • Punches shown against the assigned job site or location
  • Clear privacy story for your crew and your handbook
Timesheets & flags

Problems show up on Wednesday, not payday.

Every punch builds a timesheet in real time. Missed punches, early clock-ins, unexpected overtime and edits are flagged as they happen, so managers fix them during the week instead of discovering them when payroll is due.

  • Missed punch, overtime and edit flags in the dashboard
  • Employees see their own hours and can request a fix
  • Weekly and daily overtime rules you configure
Payroll prep

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
HR in the same app

Hiring, onboarding and records live next to the time clock.

PunchPro keeps one employee record from offer letter to final paycheck: offers signed on a phone, onboarding checklists, handbook e-signatures, licenses with expiry alerts, then scheduling, punches, PTO and payroll prep on the same person.

  • Offer letters and e-signature; the employee profile is created on signing
  • Handbook, I-9/W-4 status and certification tracking with alerts
  • Same record for schedule, punches, PTO and payroll review

Common questions

GPS time clock questions, answered plainly.

Does a GPS time clock app track employees all day?

Some do. PunchPro doesn't. It records location only at clock-in and clock-out, then shows whether that location matched the assigned job site.

What if an employee's phone has no signal?

Punches are saved on the device and sync when the connection returns, with the original timestamp.

Can employees fake their location?

PunchPro shows the recorded location against the assigned site and flags a mismatch for the manager to review. It is a verification tool, not a surveillance tool; mismatches are visible, not hidden.

Do I need a separate app for scheduling or PTO?

No. Scheduling, time off, hiring, onboarding and payroll review are included in the same app and the same price.

Does PunchPro work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with native apps for both plus a web dashboard for managers and a kiosk mode for shared tablets.

How much does PunchPro cost?

$39.99 per month per business plus $7 per active user per month, every feature included, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required.
