Frequently asked questions
ClockShark scores D on the API Report Card. ClockShark documents a REST API at developer.clockshark.com with an OpenAPI spec, sandbox, and webhook management API. Access requires a paid account with the API sold as a paid add-on and keys generated in-app. Reviewers report the QuickBooks sync dropping or duplicating time entries.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
ClockShark is a cloud-based mobile time-tracking, scheduling, and job-management platform purpose-built for construction and field-service businesses with mobile crews.
Construction and field service, specifically SMB and lower mid-market trades and crew-based businesses: general contractors, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting, landscaping, roofing, cleaning/janitorial, and home services. Field crews clock in and out via the ClockShark iOS/Android app (or kiosk/web), with GPS coordinates and optional geofence verification stamped on each punch.
High within construction/field-service time tracking SMB. ClockShark is consistently cited alongside QuickBooks Time, Workyard, Connecteam, Hubstaff, OnTheClock, Buddy Punch, and Jibble as a top time-tracking choice for construction.
ClockShark holds the labor-cost nervous system of construction and field-service SMBs: every GPS-stamped clock-in/out, geofence event, time entry tied to jobs/customers/tasks, crew schedules and shift assignments, PTO balances, shift wrap-up answers and compliance forms, job-cost and budget data, photos and notes captured in the field, and the approved timesheets that drive payroll to ADP, Gusto, Paychex, Paylocity, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage 100 Contractor, and MYOB.
Mature SMB SaaS. Founded 2013, ~13 years in market, acquired by simPRO in 2021.
QuickBooks integration (built on top of ClockShark's data layer) drops or duplicates time entries, developers and admins have raised this on Intuit's developer forums without a clear resolution. Zapier integration is the recommended no-code path but is limited to specific triggers/actions and requires juggling an API key across third-party apps. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include QuickBooks Time (formerly TSheets), Workyard, Connecteam, Hubstaff, Buddy Punch, OnTheClock. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial ClockShark API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write ClockShark data. See the ClockShark integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/clockshark-api.
