ExakTime has spent more than two decades solving one specific problem: getting accurate hours out of crews working on jobsites with no Wi-Fi, no managers looking over their shoulders, and no patience for complicated apps. For HVAC contractors, that means techs and install crews can clock in from the truck or a rugged onsite device, select the job and cost code, and move on with their day while the back office gets clean, GPS-verified labor data that feeds directly into payroll and accounting.
Now part of Arcoro (and rebranded to Arcoro Time in parts of the product line), ExakTime is especially strong for HVAC shops doing commercial, government, or prevailing-wage work. The platform generates certified payroll reports, supports union rules, handles overtime and multi-state tax scenarios, and exports to more than 100 payroll systems including ADP, Paychex, Gusto, QuickBooks, Sage, Foundation, and Viewpoint. Supervisor features like sign-in/sign-out, photo ID capture, and bilingual interfaces (English, Spanish, French) make it practical for mixed crews.
The combination of a mobile app, rugged onsite JobClock devices, offline capability, and 40+ canned reports is what keeps 8,500+ contractors on the platform. HVAC owners typically adopt ExakTime to kill buddy punching, lock down labor costs per job, and cut hours of manual payroll prep each week, particularly on jobs with complex prevailing wage or certified payroll requirements.
