A geofenced time clock for dealerships with multiple lots.
Main lot, satellite and overflow lots, auction lots, plus a separate service drive, body shop, and detail bay — each drawn as its own polygon on satellite imagery, all under one site.
No credit card required. Free tier available.
One property, every zone — not one job site.
Generic field-service time clocks assume a single worker at a single site. A dealership is one property with adjacent lots and bays, and staff who move between them all day. LotHours draws each zone as a polygon so the clock follows your real layout.
Main + satellite + overflow lots
Draw the main lot and every satellite or overflow lot as its own polygon. Porters moving inventory across lots stay clocked in the whole time.
Auction lots
Add the auction lot as another zone under the same site so staff working a sale are tracked alongside everyone else.
Service drive vs. body shop
Keep the service drive and the body shop as separate zones — a tech in the body shop is not the same as one on the drive.
Detail bay
The detail bay is its own zone, so wash-and-detail time is tracked distinctly from sales and service.
Test-drive corridor
An employee on a test drive texts DRIVE and LotHours suppresses auto clock-out, so a sales rep doesn't get punched out for leaving the lot with a customer.
Why dealerships need multi-zone, not single-site.
- Porters shuttle cars across the main lot, satellite lots, and the auction lot — a single circular geofence either misses lots or catches the street.
- Polygon geofences trace the actual property line on satellite imagery, so you capture the lot and nothing on the road.
- The service drive, body shop, and detail bay are tracked as distinct zones for accurate department time.
- A test-drive corridor keeps a sales rep clocked in when they leave the lot with a customer — text DRIVE and auto clock-out is suppressed.
- Run multiple sites for a dealer group and roll the hours up across rooftops.
Multi-lot geofencing, answered
Can one dealership have more than one lot in LotHours?+
Yes. You draw each lot as its own polygon geofence on satellite imagery — main lot, satellite lots, overflow, and auction lots can all live under one site, and you can run multiple sites for a dealer group.
Can I separate the service drive, body shop, and detail bay?+
Yes. Each area is its own zone, so a tech clocked in at the body shop is distinct from the service drive or detail bay. You draw the boundaries that match how your property is actually laid out.
What happens when a porter drives a car between lots?+
As long as they stay within one of your defined zones, they stay clocked in. If a shift involves driving a car off-site — like a test drive — the employee can text DRIVE and LotHours keeps the clock running instead of auto-clocking them out.
Is this different from a generic field-service geofence?+
Yes. Field-service apps assume one worker, one job site at a time. A dealership is one property with many adjacent zones and staff who move between them all day. LotHours models multiple polygon zones per site so the lot, service drive, and bays are tracked distinctly.
