About
Timeero is a comprehensive GPS time tracking and mileage tracking solution trusted by thousands of small businesses. Built for teams that work in the field, it enables employers to monitor employee hours, locations, and mileage in real time — all from one centralized platform. With Timeero's GPS time clock, employees can clock in and out with a single tap while their location is recorded throughout the shift. Managers get a live breadcrumb trail showing where each team member is or has been, with alerts for out-of-bounds locations. The mileage tracking feature automatically logs routes taken, calculates total miles driven, and generates reimbursement-ready reports — eliminating the need for odometer readings or third-party hardware. Timeero's segmented tracking feature differentiates drive time from on-site time, automatically building a workday timeline without manual job switching. Geofencing capabilities enforce location-based clock-in rules and send automatic reminders when employees arrive at or leave a job site. Additional features include employee scheduling, time-off tracking, face recognition clock-in, EVV (Electronic Visit Verification) for home health aides, and California break compliance tracking. Timeero integrates with QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, Paychex, Paylocity, and Zapier for seamless payroll and workflow automation. Timeero is ideal for construction companies, healthcare providers, delivery services, field sales teams, and any business that needs reliable, location-verified employee time and mileage data.
