Payroll for Contractors That Connects to the Tools You Already Use
The Payroll module in Custom Trades CRM is designed for contractors who already run payroll in systems like QuickBooks, Gusto, or ADP – and want cleaner, more accurate inputs from the field.
Instead of replacing your payroll provider, Custom Trades CRM connects job data, time tracking, and GPS activity so hourly teams get paid correctly without manual cleanup.
Payroll Problems Start in the Field – Not the Office
Most payroll issues don't come from payroll software. They come from bad or incomplete time data.
- •Handwritten or delayed time entries
- •Disputes over start and stop times
- •Hours logged without job context
- •Manual corrections before every payroll run
The Payroll module works inside your Trades CRM, ensuring time and job data are captured correctly before they ever reach payroll.
GPS-Based Time Tracking for Hourly Technicians
For contractors paying hourly technicians, accuracy matters.
Track when technicians arrive and leave job sites
Tie hours worked directly to jobs
Reduce time disputes and guesswork
Improve accountability without micromanaging
This creates a reliable foundation for payroll while supporting real-world field service CRM workflows.
Connect Payroll to QuickBooks, Gusto, or ADP
The Payroll module is built to connect, not replace.
- •Export clean, verified time data
- •Reduce duplicate entry
- •Run payroll in the system you already trust
- •Keep accounting and payroll aligned
By connecting job activity to payroll systems, Custom Trades CRM acts as a bridge between field operations and back-office processing.
Built for Trade Teams Paid by the Hour
The Payroll module is designed specifically for small business CRM needs in the trades, where teams are:
- •Paid hourly
- •Working across multiple job sites
- •Clocking time in the field
- •Managed by lean office staff
This makes it a practical job management CRM feature for contractors who want payroll accuracy without payroll complexity.
Start With Time Accuracy – Scale Without Rebuilding Systems

- •Most contractors start with: Job Management, Time Tracking
