mJob vs Rhumbix

Two field timekeeping platforms for self-performing contractors that tie crew hours to cost codes and payroll. mJob is time tracking plus field management (labor, equipment, materials and daily logs) with its own range of fingerprint and palm vein clocks. Rhumbix, which Autodesk agreed to acquire in March 2026, is built around crew timecards, production tracking and time-and-materials tickets that flow into daily reports, with no biometric hardware described. Neither describes AI. Vendor pages read Oct 22, 2026; desk research, not tested, no winner.

What it doesConstruction time tracking and field app for labor, equipment, materials and field reporting; vendor says it has served construction since 1994. Re-read Oct 18, 2026: it offers a GPS-enabled mobile time clock, fingerprint and touchless palm vein terminals and Bluetooth fingerprint scanners for iPad crew clock-in, geofences with admin rules for when GPS is off (do nothing, warn or block) and alerts for out-of-zone punches, offline punching, time automation and labor law rules, equipment hours and maintenance logs, material usage, field requisitions and purchase orders, daily logs, custom forms and analytics. It lists ERP and payroll integrations including Sage, Vista, Spectrum, QuickBooks, CMiC, ADP, Acumatica, Foundation and Procore, and builds custom integrations in house. The pages we read do not describe AI. Re-read Oct 19, 2026: unchanged in substance; the site banner introduces mJob Essentials as streamlined time tracking for growing crews, and the pages still do not describe AI. Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: unchanged in substance and still no AI described; the biometrics page names the ATS Maximus fingerprint clock (NEMA 4X watertight enclosure) and the touchless Stride 80 palm vein reader, and the integrations page also lists Oracle, Computer Guidance, Explorer, Paychex, COINS and SAMpro. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026 (plans, biometrics and homepage rendered in a headless browser): unchanged in substance and still no AI described. The plans page now says it is powerful enough for heavy civil and union compliance and simple enough for general contractors, and the biometrics page lists the Stride 80 touchless palm vein reader, the ATS Maximus terminal, The Prodigy and a Severe Duty NEMA 4X enclosure, plus the SecuGen Unity 20 Bluetooth scanner paired with an iPad app (custom clock-in questions, Spanish interface). The 30+ years, #1 rated support and 100% verified lines are vendor claims and are not used.Field-first workforce management platform for trade contractors, self-perform divisions and GCs, covering timecards, production, T&M and dailies. It lists payroll-ready timecards, cost-coded production tracking against budget, time & materials (out-of-scope work) tracking from submission to approval, and daily field reports that bring daily and weekly reports into one tool, with configurable workflows and analytics. The vendor says many field forms can be trained and deployed in as little as 2 weeks and cites RG Construction saving over 200 work hours each week (vendor claims). The homepage we read Oct 16, 2026 does not describe AI features. Autodesk said on March 31, 2026 that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Rhumbix. Re-read Oct 19, 2026: the homepage still shows the Autodesk acquisition banner and adds a case-study headline about a specialty drywall contractor saving up to 20 hours a week on timekeeping (vendor claim); it still does not describe AI features. Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: the homepage still shows the Autodesk acquisition banner and still does not describe AI features; its navigation now lists change order tracking, health and safety reporting and a no-code Data Explorer alongside timekeeping, production, T&M and daily reports. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: the homepage still shows the Autodesk acquisition banner and still does not describe AI. Its Packages page (read Oct 22, 2026) lists Essential (Timekeeping or Time & Materials), Plus (adding daily construction reporting, labor compliance reporting and up to 10 active customer forms) and Advanced (enterprise workflows, controls and support); features include guest-mode external approvals of T&M tickets by email or text, digital signatures, offline mode, Field Analytix, a T&M dashboard marked Coming Soon, API access and single sign-on on higher tiers, and a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation. The over 1,000,000 projects line and customer savings figures are vendor claims and are not used.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Time capture: mJob offers a GPS-enabled time clock app, geofenced job sites, offline punching and biometric clocks (the Stride 80 touchless palm vein reader, the ATS Maximus terminal, The Prodigy and a Severe Duty NEMA 4X enclosure), plus a SecuGen Bluetooth fingerprint scanner paired with an iPad app for crew clock-ins with custom questions and a Spanish interface. Rhumbix captures crew or individual timecards on a mobile app with offline mode, lets crews duplicate the previous day's timecard, and lists a clock in/clock out kiosk mode as an add-on on its Packages page.
  • Beyond hours: mJob lists bill and pay rate management (including union and vendor contract rates), time automation and labor law rules, equipment hours, operating costs and maintenance logs, material usage, field requisitions and purchase orders, daily logs, custom forms and document sharing. Rhumbix lists production tracking of installed quantities against cost-coded budget, T&M tickets that can be approved by email or text in guest mode, change order tracking, daily construction reports generated from timecard data, a compliance reporting bundle (daily reports, toolbox talks, job hazard analysis, pre-task planning), Field Analytix reporting and a no-code Data Explorer.
  • Integrations: mJob names Sage, Viewpoint Vista and Spectrum, Foundation, QuickBooks, Procore, ADP, CMiC, Oracle, Computer Guidance, Explorer, Paychex, COINS and SAMpro, and says its in-house team builds custom integrations for other systems. Rhumbix says nearly all of its data has public REST API endpoints and names Procore, Autodesk, Oracle, SAP, Sage 100, Sage 300, Viewpoint Vista, Viewpoint Spectrum, COINS, QuickBooks and ComputerEase.
  • Who it is for: mJob says it is built for heavy civil and union compliance yet simple enough for general contractors, and designed to scale from 20 to 2,000 employees; its Enterprise plan adds union and prevailing wage compliance and multi-company support. Rhumbix names trade contractors, self-perform divisions of GCs, general contractors, project owners and the public sector, with specialty pages including heavy civil and industrial, earth-moving, and drilling and pipeline.
  • Plans and pricing (checked Oct 22, 2026): neither publishes prices. mJob's Plans & Pricing page describes mJob Essentials (Get Started) and mJob Enterprise (Contact Sales) by features only. Rhumbix's Packages page lists Essential (Timekeeping or Time & Materials), Plus and Advanced with Contact Us; its FAQ says each person with a login is a user license and that it accepts major credit cards.
  • Security and support: Rhumbix states a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation and assigns a field operations manager during implementation. mJob offers implementation, customization and support services and says its support team is US-based; the pages we read do not list security certifications.
  • AI tags: both are tagged Not AI-first: the pages we read for either vendor do not describe AI features.
  • Not used here: mJob's years-in-business, support-ranking and 100% verified lines, and Rhumbix's project count, customer savings figures and quotes (vendor material). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
