The Story

Who They Are

C&L Inspection is a third-party inspection company serving the oil, gas, utility, and renewables industries. The team verifies compliance, safety, and quality on behalf of its clients. Its field team is fully remote, spread across multiple states, and works entirely from iPads. Kryssy, Director of Administration & Finance, oversees the connective tissue between HR, admin, the field, and corporate leadership, including timekeeping, payroll, and everything tied to field functionality.

The Challenge — Mobile Gaps and Manual Payroll Cleanup

Before ClockShark, C&L ran on QuickBooks Time. It worked well at first, but as C&L grew, QuickBooks Time no longer met C&L’s need to support a 100+ person field team that works entirely from iPads. On top of that, getting field-captured time data into a payroll-ready state required extensive manual back-end editing. C&L needed a system that could keep up with a fully remote, multi-state workforce without leaving its field team behind.

The Solution — Simple iPad Clock-ins for a Multi-State Team

Today, C&L’s 100+ field employees clock in and out directly from their iPads using ClockShark’s GPS time clock app. Approved hours flow straight into payroll through ClockShark’s payroll integration, cutting out the manual back-end editing that used to slow down every pay period. Because C&L operates across multiple states with different mileage and compliance requirements, Kryssy uses ClockShark’s Departments and Locations to keep employees organized by group and stay audit-ready.

“A lot of our employees work best when technology stays simple. ClockShark’s easy-to-use interface helps our field staff stay productive without having to struggle with complicated software.”

Mileage Tracking in Action

Before ClockShark introduced Mileage Tracking, C&L had built its own workaround: required questions at clock-out asking each employee to report their mileage, which Kryssy then had to pull manually, person by person, to verify compliance across C&L’s multi-state footprint. C&L was one of the first customers to adopt Mileage Tracking after launch, with crew members logging trips within its first week.

“Once ClockShark released Mileage Tracking, I jumped on it right away. It didn’t change anything for our crews. Same steps for them, but it gave us much simpler reporting. Now I can pull mileage by day, by week, by date range, by person.”

Kryssy estimates it’s cut the time she spends tracking down and reporting mileage data by roughly 30%, without changing a thing for the crews actually doing the work.

The Impact — Fewer Disputes, Cleaner Payroll

Since switching to ClockShark, Kryssy estimates that payroll disputes have dropped by 20%. Before, a disputed clock-out answer meant chasing down an employee, sometimes an overnight-shift worker, adding a full day’s delay, with no way to go back and fix the original entry.

“Being fully remote, I can help someone in Arizona with a timesheet issue or a syncing problem without any hassle. There’s a huge range of functionality in ClockShark, and it integrates with the other systems we rely on.”

Where To Next

“The progress ClockShark has made since we started two years ago has been effective, and it’s stayed steady. Seeing practical AI built in tells me they’re thinking about where businesses like ours are headed. That’s why we see ClockShark as a long-term partner.”

As C&L’s field team continues to grow across new states, Kryssy plans to keep leaning on Departments and Locations and Mileage Tracking to keep multi-state compliance reporting simple at scale.
