Work software built around the project.

Two dashboards built for two different roles

TradeLog Site gives employees a focused place to manage their workday and gives authorized company leaders a broader view of time, staffing and Project activity.

The Standard Dashboard: clock in, weekly hours, Project records and everyday shortcuts for the person doing the work.

The HR Dashboard: company hours, weekly comparison, completed Projects, notifications and recent employee time activity in one authorized view.

See where your team’s time is going

The HR Dashboard gives owners and authorized team leaders a company-wide view of time activity without opening every employee or Project individually.

Display controls and drill-down

• Each chart can be viewed as Text or Graph
• The three display choices are saved independently for each signed-in authorized user
• The completed-Project comparison can be switched between Year and Six Months
• Employee search and filtering connects company-hour totals to an individual employee's recent time activity
• Recent Employee Time Activity shows the latest employees who recorded time, their most recent Project, and their current-week total
• An employee drill-down opens the current workweek, the two prior workweeks, and the Projects receiving that time

These charts are built for labor visibility, staffing decisions, workload planning, and Project-delivery context. They are not employee performance scores, productivity rankings, payroll calculations, predictive analytics, or automated disciplinary tools. HR Dashboard visibility is limited to authorized company roles: employees holding the HR role, plus owners and administrators whose company has the HR Dashboard available.

Project-specific access for outside workers

Invite outside trades to one project—not your entire company. An invited collaborator reaches the project they were invited to and nothing else, so unrelated projects, customers, and company records stay out of view. Outside collaborators receive controlled access to the assigned project—not continuous monitoring and not access to the rest of the company.

• Access is granted per project, so unrelated projects remain inaccessible
• Permission levels are adjustable: view only, limited, standard, elevated, and admin
• Individual permissions cover viewing the project, notes, tasks, events, submitting time, viewing time, and managing the project team
• View only means exactly that — every write permission is off
• Broader project permissions are still project permissions, not company access
• Outside collaborators do not consume employee seats
• Access can be ended or removed at any time without deleting the project record
• Work an outside collaborator submits stays attributed to their account in the project history

Bring in the electrician, the inspector, or the GC for the work they are actually part of — and end that access when the project is done.

Project-connected clock in and clock out

Clocking in and clocking out are deliberate user actions. Project selection helps connect time to the correct work; it is not based on GPS, geofencing, or automatic arrival detection.

• Choose an active project when clocking in, so hours land on the right work
• The dashboard shows whether you are currently clocked in and which project you are on
• Current week and previous week totals are shown for your own time
• New project activity is limited to active projects, in the app and in the database
• No active projects yet? Clock general work manually and keep the record accurate

Hours arrive already attached to a project, so review and billing questions have an answer without reconstructing the week from memory.

Project and company scheduling

Put inspections, deliveries, and scheduled work on the calendar where the people doing the work can see it. Events can be connected to a specific project, or kept as general company events that are not tied to one project.

• Project-connected events appear with the project they belong to
• General company events cover scheduling that is not project specific
• Who can see and edit an event follows the same project permissions as the rest of the project
• Field and office work from the same schedule instead of a group text

One schedule the crew, the office, and invited trades all read the same way.

Built-in Fraction Calculator

Signed-in users open the Fraction Calculator from the dashboard and work in the measurements the trades actually use. It is included with TradeLog Site and available to signed-in users.

• Whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals
• Add, subtract, multiply, divide, and continue from the previous result
• Exact fraction math, not rounded decimal approximations
• Results show a reduced fraction or mixed number with the decimal underneath
• Usable from the signed-in dashboard on a phone
• Calculations are temporary — nothing is stored to the project

Cut lists and takeoffs add up correctly the first time, without switching to a separate calculator app.

A punch list lives inside the project. Anyone with access to the project can see what still needs closing, and the right people can add, assign, and complete items as the work moves forward.

• Create actionable Project tasks and punch-list items
• Each item carries a description, due date, priority, and area or location
• Assign an item to a team member and add notes for context
• Outstanding work stays attached to the correct Project
• Review open work from the Project workspace
• Track status and completion, including who completed it and when
• A verification field records that the work was checked
• Attach photos so the condition is visible, not just described
• Update items only when your Project permissions allow it
• Punch-list write actions become unavailable once the project is no longer operationally active

The punch list is the open-items list—what still needs doing. The daily report, below, is what happened that day.

A daily report is a per-day, per-project record of the work performed, written by the person on the project. The project team can read it, and the team is notified when a daily record is added.

• Record the work performed for the day, attached to the correct Project
• Report history stays with the Project record
• Optionally capture weather, materials, issues, and other field notes
• Submit reports for review where the current permission model allows it
• Authorized office staff have one place to review recent reports
• The project team is notified when a daily report is added
• Daily reports are distinct from weekly reports, which carry an admin review workflow

Each day's record stays with the project it belongs to, so the office and the next shift read the same account of what happened.

Internal employees use company roles, while Project-specific permissions control operational access where required. Owners can assign responsibility without giving every employee the same level of control. Company-wide authority comes from the role; day-to-day operational access on a particular Project comes from that Project’s permissions, and an ordinary employee receives only the access they are assigned. Subscription and seat eligibility are separate from permission authority. TradeLog Site stores one manager role, labeled Project Management in the product and Manager / PM here.

The owner cannot be demoted or removed. An admin can assign any role up to admin but cannot assign another admin. HR can create projects and see every project in the company but has no billing or company settings. A manager can create and edit projects and manage employees but has no billing or HR Dashboard access. An employee reaches only assigned projects.

Enterprise teams can privately message an employee, communicate with the internal crew assigned to a Project, or send a company-wide announcement without moving the conversation outside TradeLog Site.

Authority and privacy

• Owner, Admin, HR and Manager / PM can start a conversation
• Employees can reply to conversations they receive
• Only the intended participants can read a conversation
• A notification tells you a message arrived without showing the message body
• Desktop and tablet use the floating messenger; mobile uses the Messages screen

Messaging is available through Enterprise entitlement. It is not unlocked by purchasing additional employee seats on another plan.
