About Adept Electrical
Adept Electrical is a Vancouver-based construction company that works on sites all over the Lower Mainland in British Columbia. Adept specializes in commercial and residential projects, including old home renovations and new home construction, while also taking on apartment and townhome projects.
The Challenge
Like many construction companies, Adept Electrical logged extensive employee hours. Relying on manual tracking and labour cost calculations was time consuming and prone to errors that often went unnoticed until it was too late.
Ontraccr Solution
We implemented a real-time, automated time tracking system that uses GPS-based geofencing through employees’ smartphones, enabling seamless clock-ins and clock-outs upon arrival and departure from job sites. With Ontraccr, hours are compiled and tagged to the correct projects automatically so Adept could immediately eliminate the previous process they were using to compile all the hours manually.
"We can now clock in all the times for all the projects wherever [they are], we know exactly where we are sitting in each project and it is all being done automatically. It was a great solution for GPS location. We are literally spending half the time to set up and send all the payroll files for all employee hours".
Implementation Journey
From concept to deployment across multiple municipal partners
* This level of deployment is necessary only for large companies like Mainroad Group. For smaller businesses, the implementation process is much simpler and quicker, without requiring the same level of involvement and resources.
Strategic Deployment
Mainroad Group rolled out the system in stages, beginning with larger divisions to identify and address potential issues early on.

Growth Potential with Ontraccr
After taking the first steps in their digital transformation, Adept Electrical is only beginning to unlock the full value of Ontraccr. Beyond solving their initial challenges with time tracking and documentation, they have quickly adopted additional features such as tracking boards, custom analytics and a branded client portal to further streamline operations and elevate their service offering.
As they expand into new lines of business and continue growing their team, Adept Electrical is confident in their decision, already surpassing the ROI they originally expected from the Ontraccr platform and positioning the company for long-term success.
