WorkMax

What WorkMax does

WorkMax, operated by AboutTime Technologies, LLC, is a cloud-based construction workforce management platform founded in 2003 and headquartered in Payson, Utah. The platform is built around a centralized WorkMax ControlCenter web application and four mobile-first modules — TIME (GPS-verified, geofenced, and biometrically authenticated clock-ins), FORMS (digital construction forms with offline capability), ASSETS (GPS/barcode equipment tracking with maintenance scheduling), and INSIGHT (project analytics and labor-cost dashboards) — plus an integrated Payroll Service for certified payroll, prevailing-wage, and union compliance. WorkMax's patented facial recognition and geofencing technology differentiate it from generic time-and-attendance tools, and the ConnectMax integration utility wires the platform into more than 100 ERP, construction accounting, and payroll systems including QuickBooks, Foundation, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint, Acumatica, Jonas, SAP, and Infor.

WorkMax sells primarily through direct field sales (Regional Sales Manager Alex Gray) and inside sales (Jack Kananian), supported by an ROI calculator, podcast, and a documented 17-customer story library, with a secondary channel through certified implementation partners. Pricing is per-user-per-module with monthly and annual subscription options, volume discounts, and WorkMax College training at $1,000 per user for a three-day onboarding class. The customer base spans SMB through enterprise contractors in concrete, drywall, mechanical, scaffolding, painting, roofing, and electrical trades, with documented outcomes of $700K–$1M+ labor-cost savings and 40–75% payroll-processing-time reductions.

Since 2023, WorkMax has operated as a subsidiary of Foundation Software, the parent of FOUNDATION (job-cost accounting), Payroll4Construction, HQSuite (SafetyHQ, HRHQ, ProjectHQ, ExecutiveHQ, CrewHQ), McCormick estimating, and Estimating Edge. The acquisition positioned WorkMax as the field-data ingestion layer feeding the parent's accounting and payroll stack, while WorkMax retained its product brand and continued integration partnerships with Foundation's competitors.

Revenue model

1. Software Subscription (SaaS): WorkMax operates as a cloud-based SaaS platform with subscription-based pricing. Modules (TIME, FORMS, ASSETS, INSIGHT) are priced per user per month. Users can vary user counts per module, and the platform supports flexible licensing that scales with customer needs. Both monthly and annual subscription plans are available.
2. Professional Services & Training: WorkMax offers professional implementation services and training programs including WorkMax College, a 3-day onboarding class for new users. These services support customer adoption but are not a primary revenue driver.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• ClockShark: ClockShark is a leading construction time-tracking and scheduling SaaS targeting field crews with GPS, geofencing and mobile clock-ins. It is a direct competitor explicitly named in WorkMax's own comparison content, serving the same contractor personas (foremen, superintendents, payroll admins) at SMB and mid-market.
• ExakTime: ExakTime provides mobile time tracking, job costing and field data capture for construction. It competes head-on with WorkMax TIME, particularly with photo-based and biometric clock-in features for contractors, and is named in WorkMax's published comparison pages.
• busybusy: busybusy offers construction-focused time tracking, equipment tracking and daily logging via mobile apps. It overlaps WorkMax TIME and ASSETS in functionality and is a direct SMB competitor in the contractor time-tracking category named by WorkMax itself.

Broad incumbents

• Procore Technologies: Procore is the dominant construction project management platform with a broad portfolio including time tracking, workforce management, payroll integrations and field productivity. It is a broad incumbent that competes with WorkMax at the enterprise tier while serving a much wider construction workflow footprint.
• ServiceTitan: ServiceTitan is a field service management platform for trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) with mobile time tracking, payroll and dispatch features. While trades-focused rather than general construction, its mobile workforce capabilities overlap meaningfully with WorkMax TIME and FORMS.

Emerging players

• Buildertrend: Buildertrend is a construction project management suite for residential and remodel contractors with scheduling, time tracking and customer communication tools. It overlaps WorkMax in time tracking and field reporting but emphasizes project management and customer portals over deep compliance/payroll specialization.
• Connecteam: Connecteam is a mobile-first employee management app for deskless workforces with time clock, scheduling, forms and payroll features. It overlaps WorkMax TIME and FORMS for SMB contractors and increasingly targets construction verticals at price points below WorkMax.

Others

• Foundation Software: Foundation Software is WorkMax's parent company and the #1 construction accounting/ERP provider, offering FOUNDATION, Payroll4Construction and HQSuite. It is the strategic acquirer and upstream platform to which WorkMax feeds field data, and a natural distribution channel rather than a market competitor.
• Payroll4Construction: Payroll4Construction is a sister Foundation Software product providing specialized payroll processing for contractors with certified payroll, prevailing wage and multi-state compliance. It is an upstream/downstream integration partner rather than a competitor, but addresses an adjacent capability WorkMax also offers via WorkMax Payroll Service.
• Jonas Construction Software: Jonas Construction Software offers an all-in-one ERP including accounting, payroll, project management and service operations for contractors. It is one of WorkMax's 100+ integration partners and an adjacent enterprise construction software platform where WorkMax plugs in as the mobile field-data layer.
