App Concept
FieldPlan Paid Prep
A time-tracking and task-management app that lets field workers log planning hours (e.g., reviewing shop drawings) and automatically adds them to payroll. It differentiates between on-site labor and off-site prep work, ensuring fair compensation and clear records.
Key Features
- Clock in/out for planning tasks with geofencing or manual entry
- Integrates with payroll systems to categorize planning hours as paid time
- Task library for common prep activities (shop drawing review, material list creation)
- Employer dashboard to approve and budget planning hours
Target Users: Journeymen and electricians in commercial construction companies with 20-200 employees
Revenue Model: $5/mo per user subscription for workers; employer pays $10/mo per worker for dashboard and integration
