Direct Management is a New York–based property management company with a 10-person team that doesn’t sit behind desks. Their employees are out in the field — at buildings, on properties, between sites — which made traditional time clocks and paper timesheets a non-starter.
The Challenge
Direct Management needed a way for a mobile workforce to clock in from wherever they were working, without HR chasing down hours at the end of every week. On top of that, the company needed real compliance support: NY labor department rules, tax filings, and the paperwork that quietly becomes a full-time job when you’re trying to grow.
Manual time tracking was eating up admin hours that should have been spent on tenants, properties, and revenue. Something had to give.
The Solution
Direct Management switched to Fingercheck for mobile clock-in, payroll, and built-in compliance tools. Employees now punch in from their phones, view schedules, and pull pay stubs through the app. No paper, no phone calls to the office, no “I forgot to send my hours” texts on a Sunday night. On the back end, labor and tax compliance is handled automatically, so the team doesn’t have to think about it.
The Results
- Real cost savings. In the team’s own words, “Fingercheck saved us a lot of money” by eliminating manual admin and reducing payroll errors.
- Mobile-first time tracking that actually fits how the team works, with phone-based clock-in for a workforce that’s rarely in one place.
- Compliance handled in the background. Labor and tax requirements run automatically, so the office isn’t scrambling to keep up.
- Hours back for revenue-driving work instead of admin, freeing the team to focus on tenants, properties, and growth.
“Fingercheck saved us a lot of money, and our employees love being able to clock in and view their paystubs through the app.”
