ClockShark Lightning
AI Time Tracking Software for Field Teams
ClockShark Lightning brings practical AI to time tracking for construction and field service teams. It works inside the ClockShark app your crew already uses, starting with JobReady, an AI shift brief that tells each person where to go and what the job needs, plus Task Checklists and Mileage Tracking. A person stays in control of every record.

What is AI time tracking software?
AI time tracking software uses artificial intelligence to reduce the manual work around tracking a crew’s time. It prepares crews for the day automatically, catches missed steps, and summarizes what happened on a job, while a person still reviews and approves every record. It assists time tracking rather than replacing it.
ClockShark Lightning is that idea, built for construction and field service.
What is ClockShark Lightning?
ClockShark Lightning is AI built into ClockShark time tracking, made for construction and field service teams. At launch it adds one AI agent, JobReady, and two new features, Task Checklists and Mileage Tracking. They run inside the ClockShark app your crew already carries, and a person always reviews and controls the record.
JobReady
An AI-generated brief that turns the day’s schedule, jobs, and notes into a clear starting point for every crew member.
Task Checklists
A step-by-step list that makes sure nothing gets missed on a job, with every item timestamped.
Mileage Tracking
Miles entered at clock-out, exported clean for payroll instead of lost in notes and texts.
JobReady: an AI shift brief for every crew member
JobReady composes a short brief the moment a crew member opens the app on a scheduled day — pulling together the job, the schedule, site notes, checklists, and attachments so there’s no guessing where to start.
JobReady only ever produces a brief. It doesn’t change a schedule, a job, or a record on its own — the office stays in control of the source data, and the brief simply reflects it.
Trigger
Crew member opens the mobile app on a scheduled day
Approved data
Schedule, jobs, site notes, checklists, attachments
Human control
Brief only — no autonomous action
Task Checklists: timestamped job steps in the field
Build a checklist of up to 20 items right from the web app, and it appears automatically the moment a crew member clocks in — no extra step, nothing to remember to open.
Every item is timestamped as it’s checked off, so the office has a clean, accurate record of what happened on site and when.
Setup
Up to 20 checklist items on any task, from the web app
Delivery
Appears automatically when an employee clocks into the task
Record
Every completed item is timestamped
Mileage Tracking: miles captured at clock-out
Mileage Tracking lets crew members enter their miles at clock-out, in the same app they already use for time. Miles stay attached to the job and export for payroll, instead of getting lost in notes, texts, and end-of-month reconstruction.
Entry
Entered at clock-out, in the flow the crew already follows
Record
Miles stay attached to the job, not in a separate log
Export
Exports as a clean CSV for payroll

What AI time tracking helps field teams do
Three problems field teams deal with every week, and what JobReady, Task Checklists, and Mileage Tracking do about them.
| The Problem | The Capability | What They Do | What They Get |
|---|---|---|---|
| “What’s the plan?” calls each morning | JobReady brief | Read the brief | A clear start to the day |
| Steps missed on a job | Task Checklists | Check off work in the field | A timestamped record |
| Mileage lost in notes and texts | Mileage Tracking PRO | Enter miles at clock-out | A clean CSV for payroll |
The time tracking software Lightning builds on
Your ClockShark time, GPS, scheduling, and payroll workflows stay exactly as they are. Lightning adds to them.

Frequently asked questions
What AI time tracking software is, how JobReady reads your ClockShark schedule and notes, and why a person stays in control of every record.
AI time tracking software uses artificial intelligence to reduce the manual work around tracking a crew's time — for example, preparing crews for the day automatically or catching missed steps — instead of replacing time tracking itself.
ClockShark Lightning is a set of AI-powered capabilities built into the ClockShark app you already use, starting with JobReady briefs and Task Checklists.
When a crew member opens the app on a scheduled day, JobReady pulls together the schedule, job details, site notes, checklists, and attachments into a short brief. It only ever produces a brief — the office stays in control of the underlying records.
Task Checklists let you build a list of up to 20 items in the web app. The checklist appears automatically when a crew member clocks in, and every item is timestamped as it's checked off.
No. Lightning is built into the ClockShark app your crew already uses — there's nothing new to download or set up.
Yes. Edit the underlying schedule or notes and the brief follows. Nothing is locked or automatic.
No. Your ClockShark data stays with your account — it isn't shared with other brands or used to train AI models.
JobReady and Task Checklists roll out automatically — there's nothing to turn on. Mileage Tracking is available on the Pro plan.
