FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does clockin help with project time tracking in architecture and engineering firms?

With clockin you can assign working hours directly to individual projects – on the move as well. That keeps you on top of time spent, project progress and how resources are used. The data helps with internal management and gives you a solid basis for billing or for proof to clients.

Is clockin suitable for smaller architecture firms too?

Yes! clockin is ideal for small and mid-sized firms looking for a simple, digital solution for time tracking and documentation without a lot of IT effort. Because it's intuitive, teams get started quickly – even for teams with no technical background.

Can employees record hours while they are out?

Absolutely. Hours can be recorded on the move in the app – for example at site meetings, on job sites or in a customer meeting. The entries are visible in the system immediately and can be broken down by project and activity.

I jump between projects a lot – can I split my hours flexibly?

Yes. You can create as many time entries per day as you like and switch flexibly – for example from site management on the job site back to the office for planning or customer meetings.

How secure is our data?

clockin works in line with the GDPR and stores all data on secure servers in Germany. Only authorized people in your company have access to the data – you keep full control.

What advantages does clockin offer over manual methods such as Excel or paper timesheets?

With clockin you save time, avoid errors and create transparency: hours are recorded reliably, activities are documented and reports are generated automatically. That cuts down on follow-up questions, simplifies billing and gives you more time for your projects.

Can I keep a digital job site log with clockin as well?

You do not need a separate job site log with clockin: you record activities, photos and notes directly on the relevant project – in chronological order and traceable at any time. For recurring routines such as site inspections or handovers you can also use your own checklists.
