Reliably Record Timber Crews' Working Hours in Remote Forest Locations

Reliably Record Timber Crews' Working Hours in Remote Forest Locations

Managing timber crews working in remote and often rugged forest locations presents significant challenges, especially when it comes to accurately recording working hours and tracking operational progress. Manual timesheets can be unreliable, and direct supervision across dispersed felling sites is often impractical. Ensuring crew accountability, adherence to schedules, and correct payroll requires a robust and straightforward solution.

How Jobsies Supports Timber Operations:

1. Verified Clock-In/Out with Selfies: Timber crew members can easily log their start and end times using a quick selfie on their smartphones. This provides a verifiable record of their hours, even when operating in isolated forest areas.
2. Project and Coupe-Specific Tracking: Define "Projects" for specific logging coupes, forest blocks, or operational phases like "Selective Felling - Oak Ridge," "Timber Extraction - North Slope," or "Replanting Prep - Sector 7." Assign crews to these specific tasks and locations.
3. Photo Reporting from the Field: Workers can capture and upload photos directly related to their tasks. This can be used to document the volume of timber processed, show completed sections, report on equipment status, highlight safety measures taken, or document adherence to environmental guidelines. "Before and after" photos can clearly show progress in clearing or specific felling zones.
4. Centralized Admin for Crew Management: From a central admin account, managers can register all timber workers, assign them access codes, and monitor active projects and crew attendance across different sites.
5. Streamlined Data Collection: Replace cumbersome paper trails with digital records, making it easier to compile data for payroll, project costing, and operational analysis.

Key Benefits for Timber Harvesting Companies:

• Accurate Hour Logging: Ensure precise timekeeping for payroll, reflecting the demanding work and often variable hours of timber crews.
• Enhanced Accountability in Remote Sites: Selfie clock-ins provide a clear record of when and where crews are working.
• Improved Project Oversight: Track progress across different logging operations and coupes with real-time data and visual updates.
• Valuable Visual Documentation: Maintain a photographic record of felled timber, adherence to cutting plans, safety compliance, and site conditions.
• Efficient Crew Management: Simplify the administration of dispersed work crews, reducing paperwork and manual data entry.
• Better Cost Control: Accurate tracking of labor hours and project progress aids in managing operational costs effectively.
