For HVAC contractors
Time tracking built for HVAC contractors.
Service calls and installs land on different job sites every day. Clox tracks both from the same phone, by job, and puts the week on one payroll export.

The problem Clox solves
Service calls and installs blur together, and no one can say who spent how long where.
A few employees running several calls each add up to a lot of jobs with no clear record behind them. Clox records the time of every punch as it happens, so each call has its own block of time. You don't rebuild the week from memory on Friday.
What you get
What Clox does for HVAC contractors.
Keep track of HVAC crews moving between residential service calls, maintenance visits, and commercial installs without rebuilding the week from memory.
Change project between calls without clocking out
Between calls, an employee changes the project on the clock screen and the shift keeps running. If there is no signal, the change is saved on the phone and sent to Clox once the phone has a signal and Clox is open, within a day of the tap.
Labor hours per install
Reports show the labor hours on every install for any date range, even while it is still running. Compare them with your bid and catch a losing job before it finishes.
Overtime rules per person
Set daily and weekly overtime thresholds and a multiplier for each employee once. Clox splits regular hours from overtime on every shift, so the payroll export is already right.
What the manager sees
Timesheets and job sites in the web app.
Your crew's punches become timesheets on their own. In the web app at app.getclox.com, from a computer or phone browser, you see who is on each job site and the hours on every project. There is nothing to key into a spreadsheet.
Timesheets
Approve a week of hours
Clox lays out every shift, break, and overtime hour by week. You fix a wrong punch, close a shift someone forgot to clock out of, and approve the week.
Worksites
See who is on the job site
Set a geofence, a GPS radius around each job site. For the employees you choose, an off-site clock-in is blocked. The check is a deterrent, not a scanner. You see who is on the clock and where. With pay rates set, the Clox app on your phone also shows an estimate of today's labor cost.
How it works
Set up Clox in three steps.
You run Clox from the web app. Your crew clocks in from the Clox app on their phones. Employees without a smartphone clock in with their name and PIN on a shared tablet at the job site, set up as a kiosk.
Sign up and invite your crew
Create your account, then send your crew an invite link by text or email. They sign up and clock in from their own phones.
They clock in and you see the hours
They clock in from their phones or the shared tablet. Clox checks phone clock-ins against the geofence and applies your automatic lunch deduction and overtime rules.
Export the hours for payroll
When payroll is due, export a payroll file for QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, or Paychex. Nothing gets added up by hand.
