See which jobs actually made money
I do not need another “time clock” that only tells me who punched in—I need hours tied to the work ticket so I can compare billed time to real time. When a job eats six hours and only bills two, I want that to sting on paper the same day, not at tax time.

Sound familiar?
My guys are “busy all day,” but payroll is a number I pull out of a hat because flags never match what actually happened on the floor.
Comebacks eat hours, but they never show up as their own line item—so the original job still looks profitable.
I find out a ticket bled labor only when the customer pays and the margin still feels wrong—too late to fix the estimate habit.
One tech is fast on straight installs and slow on troubleshooting, but my averages treat them like the same machine—so I reward the wrong behavior.
What ShopTimeLab Does
Time on the ticket, not “the building”
Clock work against real jobs so hours roll up to what you actually sold—not a generic department code.
Spot bleeders early
See where billed hours and clocked hours diverge before you eat another Saturday for free.
Handoff to payroll without drama
Export clean totals so the office is not rebuilding the week from texts and memory.
What you are clicking around in
The demo is a variance desk and week view: billed hours from the ticket vs clocked hours you can adjust per row—useful for payroll conversations before you wire up exports. Narrow the list with the bleeding-only filter when you want overrun jobs first.
Variance + week
Slide clocked hours to see margin move in real time, then open Week load for a Mon–Fri roll-up. Status pills derive from math, not where you dropped a card.
Crew
Roll-up by lead tech: clocked vs billed on the filtered set—so you can coach the right person instead of averaging everyone into mush.
