Why Commander ERP Delivers Smarter Time Tracking for Construction Teams

In construction, time isn’t just money; it’s margin, productivity, and accountability. Every misplaced hour quietly eats away at job profitability.

Yet many contractors still rely on paper timesheets, siloed apps, or legacy ERP systems that don’t reflect what’s actually happening in the field. Crews forget to clock in, hours get rounded, and job costs are reviewed only after payroll is processed, when fixing mistakes is already too late.

The result?

Inflated labor costs and missed billing opportunities
Payroll delays that frustrate crews and admins alike
Little to no visibility into real productivity or crew performance

If you’re a contractor, operations leader, or payroll professional who’s done managing labor in the dark, Commander ERP was built with you in mind.

Created by contractors who understand jobsite realities, Commander ERP provides live time tracking, accurate job costing, and automated payroll integration all within one connected platform. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No clean-up after the fact.

Capture Time Where the Work Happens

Accurate time tracking starts in the field. Commander ERP equips crews with intuitive, mobile-first tools that make logging hours fast, easy, and reliable.

Foremen can clock in full crews or individuals using tablets or mobile devices
Operators assign time directly to jobs, tasks, or equipment for precise cost allocation
GPS-verified punches confirm on-site presence and reduce time theft
Optional geofencing restricts clock-ins to approved job locations
Hours can be categorized by activity type, setup, production, finishing, and more, so you understand exactly how shifts are spent This ensures time is captured correctly the first time, not reconstructed later.

Payroll Automation Without the Headaches

Manual payroll prep wastes time and introduces errors. Commander ERP eliminates double entry by sending approved time directly to payroll.

Timesheets are pre-coded with jobs, cost codes, and departments
Over time, double-time, per diems, and shift rules are calculated automatically
Built-in approval workflows allow supervisors to review hours before payroll runs
Integrates with major payroll platforms like QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Foundation, and others
Flags irregularities such as missed punches or excessive overtime before they become issues

Payroll becomes faster, cleaner, and far less stressful.

Always-On Job Costing You Can Trust

Labor is your biggest expense and the hardest to track accurately. Commander ERP connects labor hours directly to job costs in real time, giving you a clear financial picture every day.

Monitor daily labor costs by project, crew, phase, or equipment
Compare actual hours against budgeted hours instantly
Identify cost overruns early and correct course before margins disappear
Finance teams receive alerts when jobs start trending off target, not weeks later

No more waiting until payroll closes to discover lost profit.

Built-In Truck and Equipment Tracking

Your assets matter just as much as your workforce. Commander ERP tracks equipment usage alongside labor for full operational clarity.

Assign trucks and equipment to specific jobs and operators
Record runtime, idle time, and transport hours directly from the field
Capture mileage and fuel usage tied to job codes
Identify underutilized equipment and optimize asset deployment
Improve maintenance scheduling based on actual usage, not estimates

The result: better ROI on equipment and fewer surprises.

Measure crew efficiency using expected vs. actual production
Identify top-performing foremen, operators, and crews
Build more accurate bids using real production data
Support workforce decisions with facts, not assumptions
Back incentives, staffing changes, and process improvements with measurable results This is how high-performing construction teams scale intelligently.
