What is continuous time registration (TMS)?
The basic per-order timer described above is available to all users. Handyman also offers a more advanced continuous time registration mode (TMS) that tracks your entire working day — covering travel, work and breaks across all orders, with start-of-day and end-of-day summaries. TMS requires a separate licence. See Use continuous time registration (TMS) in Handyman Mobile.
