FELS is pleased to announce a new partnership with FieldClock, a web- and cloud-based service to assist farm employers with gathering time-and-attendance and production data to allow better, faster, and more accurate gathering and compilation of payroll data that’s critical to delivering farm payroll that’s faster and easier than traditional hand-written time cards, time sheets, field or bin tags, or other traditional hand-written methods of tracking employees’ hours and production.

FieldClock was built by farmers, for farmers. The initial goal was simple data collection in the field, paired with easy data management in the office. It wasn’t long before FieldClock’s builders realized others were looking for the same things, so they decided to offer the platform to other farmers. What followed was a fruitful collaboration that’s continues to this day.

Empowering employees through total transparency is at the core of FieldClock’s philosophy. FieldClock has built an entire product specifically to help make this happen. Employee Portal allows all employees, regardless of location or time of day, to check their hours and piece counts so you no longer have to post activity sheets in centralized locations.

In the field, punch cards and timesheets are a thing of the past. FieldClock’s simple badging system takes care of two birds with one stone: clocking employees in and out as well as recording production. All data are immediately saved to the device itself, then subsequently synced with our servers and is accessible via the Admin site almost instantly.

At the office, FieldClock’s administrative portal has all the tools to effectively manage any size operation. View field costs & productivity. Grant role & field-based permissions. Integrate with your specific payroll such as Kronos, Compu-Tech or Farmers Office. View labor and production stats in real-time.

FieldClock works on iOS and Android, with no proprietary hardware and it works on mobile apps. FELS Newsletter subscribers can receive $500 off setup of FieldClock Pro and $1000 off setup for FieldClock Complete; contact sales at FieldClock and use promo code “FELS.”
