Track technician hours per service call and bill field service clients cleanly.
Keito gives field service operations a billing record per job: technician time captured on-site, reviewed by dispatch or the operations lead, and ready for the invoice without manual reconciliation.
Field service billing depends on what each technician did on-site, not on the original job estimate.
Capture delivery work by client and role
Record time by client, project, and team member role so billing reports reflect actual team composition without needing a separate tracking system per person.
Review team-level billing before it leaves the project
Give project leads a combined view of who worked on what, what is billable, and whether the team effort matches the client story before invoice prep starts.
Report team delivery in client billing language
Produce summaries that explain team effort by deliverable, milestone, or service area so clients understand what they are paying for.

Service job billing
Give every service call a billing record that covers what actually happened
Field service companies lose billing accuracy when technicians work from job cards, log time after the fact, or are pulled from one site to another mid-job. When a client questions a service invoice, the answer needs to come from a reviewed, per-call billing record — not from the dispatcher trying to remember who was on-site and for how long. Keito gives field service operations that record: every service call has a live billing view that dispatchers or operations leads can approve before the invoice goes out, whether the team runs five technicians or fifty.

Compare the workflow
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
AreaKeitoTypical setup
Per-job billing records
Tag technician hours to a specific service call, client contract, and work type so billing reflects what was done, not the original estimate.
Generic time trackers show total hours but do not connect time to the specific service call and work type field service invoices require.
Technician coverage
Flat-rate pricing includes field technicians, dispatch leads, and billing staff in the time tracking workflow without adding per-seat costs as the team grows.
Per-seat pricing makes it expensive to give every technician and reviewer access, leading to tracking gaps that produce invoice disputes.
Contract and SLA billing
Track service contract hours against agreed SLA scope so the billing team can see contract consumption before invoices are issued.
Generic time tools show total time but not contract-level hours consumed versus the agreed service scope.
How do field service companies track billable hours?
The most reliable method is a workspace where technicians log service time against the specific job, client, and work type as they complete each call. Dispatch or operations leads review entries for accuracy, compare them against the service agreement, and prepare invoices from reviewed records rather than from job card estimates.
What time tracking software works for field service businesses?
Field service businesses need time tracking that supports per-call time capture, service contract billing, technician-level records, approval workflows for dispatch review, flat-rate pricing that includes all field staff, and invoice-ready export formats for billing software.
How does Keito help with service contract billing?
Keito lets you set up service contracts as billing scopes for each client. Technicians log time against the correct contract and work type, dispatch leads review entries against the SLA scope, and billing summaries show contract consumption before invoices are prepared. This prevents scope surprises at invoice time.
Can Keito handle emergency and non-contract service calls?
Yes. Keito supports billable classification at the time entry level. Technicians can mark an entry as emergency call, out-of-scope, billable, or non-billable when logging. This gives the billing team the information needed to decide whether to include extra calls on the standard invoice or issue a separate charge.
