LOS ANGELES, February 28, 2008 — Exaktime today introduced PocketClock/GPS, software that transforms a Windows® Mobile PDA
into a portable timeclock that uses GPS technology to record the exact location of workers as they clock in and out.
Designed for mobile work crews in industries including construction, landscaping, building maintenance, agriculture and
health care, PocketClock/GPS lets crews clock in and out at literally dozens of jobsites each week. Like having a
permanent on-site timeclock at every jobsite, the automatic GPS location fix from PocketClock/GPS provides assurance
that the crew is at the correct location when they clock in and when they clock out.
In addition to accurately tracking total hours worked, individuals can select the type of work they are doing each time they clock
in, allowing managers to track work by cost code. PocketClock/GPS also offers extended functions for foremen and crew leaders.
With just a few taps on PocketClock/GPS, an entire crew can be clocked in, saving time and increasing accuracy. They can also enter
detailed field notes about the job that are later sent to the office.
To transfer the time and attendance information into the office computer for review and export into the company's accounting or
payroll system, the PocketClock/GPS device is simply carried to the office and synchronized with the PC. In the future,
customers will be able to use the JobClock.NET service from Exaktime to send records over the Internet from PocketClock/GPS to the company's office.
After attendance and location records are transferred to the company's office computer, Exaktime's
TimeSummit® software enables managers to set a virtual
perimeter - called a geofence - around each jobsite to monitor whether employees are within the perimeter when they clock in and out.
The system also displays a map of the region, pinpointing jobsites and overlaying attendance data onto the map.
"PocketClock/GPS delivers higher accuracy and accountability for companies with employees that work away from the office," said Exaktime
CEO Tony Pappas. "By utilizing modern GPS technology, our users can know exactly where their workers are when they clock in and out,
instead of having to second-guess handwritten timesheets."
Availability
A PocketClock/GPS device combines PocketClock/GPS software with a third party Windows Mobile PDA.
Both the software and PDA are available immediately directly from Exaktime.
