Time tracking built for the trades

Stop chasing timesheets. Start tracking real hours.

Blue Tempo lets your crew clock in from their phones, tracks hours inside each project's job-site radius, and turns it into automatic payroll totals and PDF or CSV timesheets — so you stop losing money to guesswork and paper.

The hidden cost of paper timesheets

Guesswork on hours is money walking off the job site

Every fudged timecard, missed clock-out and Monday-morning "how many hours did you work?" adds up. Blue Tempo replaces it with hours you can actually trust.

Inflated & guessed hours

Rounded-up timecards and "I think it was 8 hours" cost the average crew thousands a month in overpaid wages.

Payroll takes all weekend

Chasing crew for hours, deciphering handwriting and re-keying numbers turns payroll into an unpaid second job.

No idea what jobs really cost

Without hours tied to each job, you're bidding blind — and you only find out a project lost money after it's done.

Everything in one app

Time tracking that works the way trades work

No clunky setup, no training day. If your crew can text, they can use Blue Tempo.

Projects & teammates in minutes

Set up each project, add your crew, and start tracking. Every teammate gets their own secure login on their own phone.

Automatic payroll math

Enter each teammate's hourly rate once and Blue Tempo turns tracked hours into accurate pay totals automatically — no calculator required.

Set a job-site radius

Drop a pin on each project and set a tracking radius, so hours are tied to the place the work actually happens.

Off-site alerts

Get notified the moment a teammate logs time outside the project radius — so you catch mistakes and bad punches before payroll.

Export to PDF & CSV

Turn approved hours into clean timesheet reports and export to PDF or CSV in a couple of taps — ready for payroll or the books.

Whole crew on one dashboard

See who's on the clock, at which project, right now — from the office or the truck. No more "where's everybody?"

Geofenced timesheets

Hours only count when the crew is on site

Drop a pin on every job and set a radius. The moment a teammate crosses onto the job site, Blue Tempo starts a GPS-verified timesheet — and flags any punch that happens outside the line.

  • Time starts the moment they reach the site radius
  • Every hour stamped and GPS-verified
  • Instant alert on any off-site punch
Up and running in minutes

From paper to payroll in three steps

1

Invite your crew

Add teammates by phone number and they download the app. Most crews are clocking in the same day.

2

They clock in on site

Crew taps to clock in and out from their own login. Time tracks against the project radius and flags anything logged off site.

3

You run payroll fast

Review, approve and export accurate timesheets in minutes — not a wasted Saturday afternoon.

iOS app

The whole job site fits in your pocket

Blue Tempo runs natively on every phone your crew already carries. No tablets to buy, no terminal to mount on a wall.

  • Each teammate gets their own secure login
  • Location-based tracking with a per-project radius
  • Instant alerts when time is logged off site
  • Big buttons and plain language — gloves-on friendly

Loved by crews across the trades

Real hours. Faster payroll. Happier owners.

"Payroll used to eat my entire Saturday. Now it's 20 minutes on Friday. The GPS punches alone paid for the whole year in the first month."

"My guys actually use it because it's dead simple. I finally know my real labor cost on every job, and my bids stopped losing money."

Blue Tempo vs. the rest

The crew time tracker that does more — for one flat price

Other field-service apps pile on per-seat fees that balloon as your crew grows. Blue Tempo gives you the same job-site GPS tracking and payroll-ready timesheets, built for trades, for a single flat price.
