The problem Clox solves
A multi-day install ends, and no one can tell you what the labor cost.
Different people touch a big array over several days. By the time it's energized, the real labor number is gone and the next proposal is a guess. Clox ties every punch to the project and adds the hours up across all the days for you.
What you get
What Clox does for solar installers.
Keep track of solar installers moving between one-day roof mounts and multi-week arrays, with every hour tied to the project and its phase.
Track labor by project
Tag every shift to the install's project, and the hours add up across racking, panels, and electrical for the whole job.
Keep the phases separate
Split racking, electrical, and finish into tasks under the project. Reports then show the hours on each phase, so you see which phase took the most hours before the next bid.
Check the hours while the install is still running
Check the hours on the project any day while a multi-day install runs. Compare them with your bid while you can still do something about it.
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.
Questions
Questions about Clox
Will my crew use it?
They open the Clox app and tap Clock in. Employees without a smartphone clock in on the shared tablet with their name and PIN.
Does it work without cell signal on a job site?
Yes. If there is no signal, the punch is saved on the phone and sent to Clox once the phone has a signal and Clox is open, within a day of the punch. The shared tablet needs an internet connection.
How much does it cost?
$29 a month includes your first 3 users, then $6 per user. Every feature is included on every plan. The trial is 14 days with no credit card.
Does it handle overtime and breaks?
Yes. Clox calculates daily and weekly overtime, automatic lunch deductions, and California's daily overtime and double-time tiers.
Can I get the hours into QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, or Paychex?
