Brief overview
Outside Works is a free Android app from Grupo SPEC S.A. that helps companies monitor hours for employees who work offsite. Classified under Utilities & Tools, the application enables staff to clock in and out while storing each timestamp with GPS details. It’s intended to simplify time tracking for distributed teams.
Core capabilities
- Sends recorded clock-ins and clock-outs directly to compatible time-management backends.
- Shows the employee’s assigned work schedule and a history of all created timestamps.
- Keeps counters synchronized with the company’s central time system so managers can review hours at a glance.
- Lets users tag special occurrences to explain deviations from normal work time.
Examples of taggable events
- Transportation disruptions or commuting delays
- Time taken for exams or certifications
- Medical appointments or visits to a physician
Compatibility and integration
Outside Works pairs with SPEC’s desktop/server solutions (for example, netTime5 or SPECManager4), immediately forwarding captured timestamps to those platforms. This two-way synchronization keeps both the mobile app and the central system aligned for accurate payroll and reporting.
Who benefits most
This tool is best suited for organizations that employ remote or field personnel and need an easy, location-aware method to capture work hours. Employers gain clearer visibility into attendance and exceptions, while employees receive a straightforward way to document their workday.
