Knowing who’s on-site and who isn’t is fundamental to dispatching. Vynta’s clock in/out system tracks technician attendance with GPS verification, so you always know who’s available.

​
How Clock In/Out Works

Technicians clock in at the start of their shift and clock out at the end. Each entry records:
  • Timestamp — exact time of the punch
  • Location — GPS coordinates at the time of clock in/out
  • Shift type — regular, overtime, or on-call
  • Break logging — start and end times for breaks

​
Clocking In

Technicians can clock in from:
  • The mobile app — tap the clock in button on the home screen
  • The dashboard — click the clock icon in the header
  • A kiosk — if you have a shared device at the office
When clocked in, the technician’s status changes to “On shift” and they appear in the Who’s In panel on the dashboard.

​
Clocking Out

At the end of the shift, the technician taps clock out. Vynta calculates:
  • Total hours worked
  • Break duration
  • Net shift time
  • Any overtime (if the shift exceeded standard hours)

​
Break Tracking

Technicians can log breaks during their shift:
  1. Tap Start Break — the timer begins
  2. Tap End Break — the timer stops
  3. Break time is deducted from total shift hours

​
GPS Verification

Every clock in and out records the device’s GPS location. This helps:
  • Verify that technicians are on-site when they claim to be
  • Resolve disputes about shift times
  • Track travel time between jobs
GPS tracking is enabled by default. You can disable it in Settings > Time & Attendance if your team prefers not to share location data.

FAQ

An admin can manually add a clock in entry from the Timesheets page. The technician can also request a correction, which requires admin approval.
Yes, but only one active clock in is allowed at a time. If they clock in on a second device, the first entry is automatically ended.
The mobile app queues clock in/out entries when offline and syncs them when connectivity returns. The timestamp uses the device time, not the sync time.
