Home service providers need a simple, affordable way to track time by task category (e.g., marketing, admin) without invasive GPS monitoring. Current tools are either too complex for solo/small teams or include unwanted location tracking.

DriveTime Pay - Fair Hour Tracking
Truck drivers face significant unpaid downtime during loading/unloading and struggle with rigid ELD systems that don't reflect real work hours. This creates financial stress, safety risks, and makes the profession feel undervalued.
“Truck drivers using ELDs frequently deal with unassigned drive time and manual log fixes due to imperfect driver assignment tracking.”
“Truckers lack visibility into how detention time is spent, especially the proportion at loading doors vs. waiting elsewhere.”

AutoTrack Pro for Freelancers
Freelancers in professional services waste hours manually tracking time across projects while struggling to distinguish billable from non-billable work. An automated solution that provides raw visibility into actual time usage would solve procrastination, inefficiency, and inaccurate billing.
“Freelancers struggle to accurately calculate their weekly billable hours because they must account for non-billable administrative tasks, marketing/sales work, tax bureaucracy, and additional downtime needed due to higher stress levels.”
