Automated Croptracker Crew Hours Reporting

Every Monday morning, WebRun opens Croptracker, totals last week's labor hours by worker, task, and block, drafts matching timesheet entries in QuickBooks for your office to review, and sends the foreman a WhatsApp summary of total hours by crew so nothing is missing before payroll runs.

In short

How do I turn weekly orchard crew hours into a payroll ready timesheet automatically?

WebRun totals last week's crew labor hours by worker, task, and block straight from Croptracker every Monday, drafts matching timesheet entries in QuickBooks allocated to the right job, and messages the foreman a WhatsApp summary of total crew hours to confirm. Payroll itself stays a human step from the reviewed drafts.

  • Payroll starts from a drafted, job costed timesheet every Monday
  • Missing or short days get caught before payroll is finalized
  • Foremen confirm crew hours on WhatsApp instead of chasing paper sheets

Questions, answered

Will it run payroll on its own?

No. WebRun drafts the timesheet entries in QuickBooks and leaves them unsubmitted for your office to review. It never submits payroll or pays a worker, a person always checks the drafts and runs payroll from there.

How does it split hours across blocks?

It reads each worker's logged task and block from Croptracker and allocates the hours accordingly in the drafted QuickBooks entry, so labor cost lands against the right job for costing.

What happens if a worker's hours look off?

It flags any worker with a missing day or an unusually short entry in the WhatsApp summary, so the foreman can confirm or correct it before the office finalizes payroll.

Put this on autopilot.
