Real customers that transformed their field operations.
$5K saved per week QuickBooks crashed twice and wiped our hours. We switched to Workyard, plugged it into our accounting, and started saving roughly $5,000 a week almost immediately.

Owner · Synaptic Solar · 50-200 employees
No more over-budget projects If a worker stays clocked in when they shouldn't, we blow the budget on a fixed-price job. With Workyard, every minute we bill is a minute we actually paid for.
Brian Mata
Operations · Wagler Custom Homes · 200-500 employees
6× growth We were losing money on every job — couldn't bill clients accurately or pay our guys right. Workyard fixed that. Six times the business later, the margins finally make sense.
Vinny Gondim
Owner · Mainsail Painting · 20-50 employees
California compliance, to the minute California wants it down to the minute — exact clock in, exact clock out. Workyard is the only tool we've found that delivers that without fighting the crews.
James Monzello
Owner · Green Wall Tech · 50-200 employees
+30% in reimbursements We've improved leaps and bounds in the accuracy of our job costing. We hand clients a complete bill every 30 days with a full audit trail — that's where the 30% lift came from.

$1,500/mo recovered from one worker Workyard will save me $1,500 in inflated payroll costs from one guy alone. Guys would round to a 7 a.m. arrival time. Now I can see 7:18, 7:14 actual arrival times on site.
Dan Hausmann
Owner · National Paving · 20-50 employees
Payroll: 4 hrs → under 1 Payroll went from four hours weekly to less than one hour. The accuracy and the time saved have been game-changing for us.
Kathi Smith
Vice President · D&S Electric Group · 11-20 employees
$150K saved in 6 weeks Workyard helped us track time more accurately than we'd ever managed before. We estimated $150,000–$200,000 in yearly payroll savings — and surpassed our yearly target in the first six weeks.
April Callaway

Zero payroll issues in 3 months Mondays used to be brutal — employees lining up at my door over payroll mistakes. Three months on Workyard, not a single issue.
Dana Almaraz
Director · Allied Restoration · 20-50 employees
Workyard is my admin team Five-person team, thirty clients, no admin support. Workyard became my admin team — every hour, every invoice, every job, all in one place.
Bill Kapaldo
Owner · Construction Punch Services · 11-20 employees
Time theft eliminated Before Workyard, I had no way of knowing if a worker was where they said they were. Now I see the exact moment they leave the shop and arrive at the job site.
Brenda Tait
Office Manager · Pro Home and Sunrooms · 11-20 employees
Hundreds of hours saved weekly I've saved hundreds of hours a week by not having 20 supervisors moving against each other. I've never been able to consolidate time like that before.
Shiloh Hoggard
Operations Manager · Accord Group · 20-50 employees
$123K saved with Smart Forms When our insurance inspector came for a pre-audit, I handed him my phone. He'd never seen fleet maintenance tied to timekeeping like that — that's where the $123K in insurance savings came from.

FAQs
What contractors ask before switching
Is Workyard or ExakTime the better choice for my crew?
Contractors move to Workyard for a modern app crews actually use, GPS hours that auto-code to the right job, and time that flows into accounting without a CSV export. ExakTime's real strength is rugged physical time clocks for harsh sites and a long track record. If a mounted hardware clock is your must-have, ExakTime has the edge there — if a reliable app, automatic cost coding and the hours you save in the office matter more, that's where Workyard pulls ahead.
Does Workyard integrate with my accounting system?
Yes — natively. Verified hours flow straight into Sage, QuickBooks, ADP and 20+ systems, coded to the right job and cost code, with no CSV exports. It's the single most common reason ExakTime customers switch: many tell us they spend 3–4 hours a day reconciling ExakTime data by hand.
ExakTime is cheap at around $9 a user — is Workyard worth more?
Compare total cost, not the per-seat rate. Once you add the hours lost to manual CSV reconciliation, the admin time eaten by app crashes, and the price increases many customers have seen since ExakTime's 2018 buyout, the 'cheaper' option often isn't. Most teams save 4–5 hours a week of admin once Workyard auto-codes hours.
Will I lose features like breadcrumb tracking or photo clock-in?
No — you get newer versions of them. Workyard has continuous GPS tracking (more granular than breadcrumbs), face-detection clock-in, and an AI form builder ExakTime doesn't offer. Most teams that worry about feature loss find their core needs already covered — just done better.
Does Workyard offer a kiosk or rugged hardware?
Workyard runs a shared job-site kiosk on a tablet with face detection for crews without phones, plus phone and foreman-led capture. ExakTime's rugged physical wall clocks are a genuine differentiator for extreme environments — if a mounted hardware clock is essential, weigh that. For most crews, the kiosk plus mobile covers it.
Am I locked into an annual contract?
Not unless you want to be. Workyard offers both monthly and annual plans — and for teams whose headcount moves through the year, flex seats let you scale up and down as the season demands. Several ExakTime customers tell us they were renewed on annual licenses they couldn't reduce mid-year, even after headcount dropped.
Will my crew actually use it?
It's the most common reason contractors switch. Crews consistently rate Workyard as easier to use — the app is clean, simple, and built for the field, so adoption sticks even with workers who don't like apps. Auto clock-in by GPS geofence means there's barely anything to do, and it keeps working offline when signal drops. Don't take our word for it: compare ExakTime's and Workyard's public app-store ratings and reviews.
How hard is it to switch from ExakTime?
Days, not months. We map your jobs, import your people and cost codes, and train your staff as part of onboarding — at no extra charge. We'll walk your exact setup in a 15-minute demo.
