Time Off Task

Know where the day went, fairly.

See the time between visits that is not driving, working, or a break. Real work like loading the truck or a supply run counts, and techs can explain the rest.

Time Off Task in WildPipe: time off task by tech, with proven work, the tech’s word, and unaccounted time

One tech’s afternoon

Three stops by noon, the next one at four.

An example day. Each gap gets a reason before anyone has a hard conversation.

  1. 12:05 p.m.

    Supply run started

    The tech taps Start activity and picks Supply run. The time counts as work, up to its daily limit.

  2. 1:10 p.m.

    Waiting at the shop

    A replacement part is late. The manager records the wait as work from the field app.

  3. 2:40 p.m.

    A gap nobody explained

    Forty minutes parked between stops shows on the tech’s chip, and they add a reason from their phone.

  4. End of day

    The day is saved

    The total, what counted and why are saved for the manager to review.

Real work counts

Shop time, supply runs and calls are not idle time.

Work activities

Truck loading, restocking, fuel, animal drop-offs and more, each with its own daily limit.

Saved places

Time at the shop, office or a supplier counts on its own once the tech is there.

Calls and paperwork

Company calls, equipment scans and paperwork after a visit are recorded automatically.

Fair to your techs

Accountability without guesswork.

Without it

  • A GPS report calls every shop stop idle time
  • Techs find out about a gap when they are written up
  • A dropped signal looks like a long lunch

With WildPipe

  • Work outside visits counts, with a limit you set
  • Techs explain gaps from their phone first
  • Time that could not be checked is never used for a write-up

From gap to coaching

Review it, excuse it, or coach it.

  1. Counted
  2. Explained
  3. Excused or counted
  4. Write-up draft
  5. Approved by a manager
  • Techs explain a gap from their phone, and managers excuse or reject it.
  • Open a tech’s gaps for the day straight from their route on Dispatch.
  • Draft a write-up for a day over the coaching limit; the tech sees it only after a manager approves it.
  • Flag people whose time off task stays well above the team’s for several days.
  • Review and coach from the office or the field app.

Your rules

Each company sets its own limits.

Choose the daily allowance, the coaching limit, which activities count and how long each may run, and whether explanations nobody can confirm wait for a manager. Set it once for the business, or differently for each company.

Reviewed first

Coaching becomes a write-up draft the tech sees only after a manager approves it.

From the office or the truck

Managers review and coach in the office app or the field app.

Part of Dispatch & Routing

Counted from the same routes dispatch runs.

Time off task reads the routes, visits, clock-ins and schedules your team already uses, and its badge sits on each route in Dispatch.

Clear answers. No sales jargon.

Good to know.

Choosing software is a business decision. Let’s make sure it fits the way you work.

Talk through your questions
Can a GPS gap get a tech written up?

No. Time that could not be checked is shown on its own and is never used for a write-up draft.

Does coaching go straight to the tech?

No. Coaching creates a write-up draft that a manager approves before the tech sees it.

Can each company use its own rules?

Yes. Activities, limits and review rules can be set for the whole business or for one company.

Your business. Your next chapter.
