Construction Site Attendance — GPS & Face Check-in, No Hardware at Each Site

You have workers spread across three active sites. The site supervisor calls you every morning to confirm who showed up. You're reconciling WhatsApp messages against payroll at the end of every week.

TheCheckIn replaces all of that. Workers check in from their phone at the site — GPS confirms they're actually there, face recognition confirms it's really them. You see every site's attendance in real time from your office. Timesheets calculate themselves.

How attendance works on a construction site

One-time setup per site. After that, workers check in themselves and you see it in real time.

1

Set up each site as a branch

Add each active site in the admin dashboard — just the site name and GPS coordinates. Set a geofence radius (e.g. 150 meters). Takes 2 minutes per site.

2

Workers register their face once

Each worker opens the Android app, registers their face (30 seconds), and they're set up. Or use QR cards for workers without smartphones.

3

Check in on arrival — GPS confirmed

Workers open the app when they arrive. GPS confirms they're at the right site. Face recognition confirms it's really them. The record hits your dashboard in seconds.

4

Timesheets ready at month end

Daily, weekly, and monthly timesheets are generated automatically per worker and per site. Export to Excel or feed directly into ERPNext or Sage 300 for payroll.

What construction companies get from TheCheckIn

GPS confirms workers are actually on site

The geofence won't accept a check-in from a worker sitting in a car down the road or checking in from home. They have to be physically at the registered site location.

No proxy — face recognition confirms the real worker

A common problem on construction sites: one worker checks in for a colleague who hasn't arrived. The eye-blink liveness test prevents anyone checking in using another person's photo or account.

Track subcontractors separately from permanent staff

Add subcontractors as a separate group, assign them to a specific site, and run their attendance reports independently. Useful when you're billing clients by hours worked or managing multiple sub-vendors on one project.

No hardware to install or maintain at each site

Biometric machines on construction sites get damaged, stolen, or covered in dust. TheCheckIn runs on phones your workers already carry — nothing to mount, power, or repair at the site.

Questions from construction company owners

Common questions from project managers switching from paper registers and WhatsApp tracking.

Multiple check-ins per day are fully supported. A worker can check out from Site A, drive to Site B, and check in there. Every event is logged with timestamp and location. The dashboard shows the full movement for each worker across the day.
Use Employee QR Cards. Each worker gets a printed QR card. The site supervisor or a dedicated Android device at the site gate scans each card as workers arrive. It takes about 2 seconds per worker and records the check-in instantly. Workers need no device of their own.
Yes. You can filter attendance reports by site (branch) and date range, then export to Excel. The report shows each worker's check-in time, check-out time, and total hours per day. This is exactly the format needed for client billing based on labour time at their site.
Yes. TheCheckIn integrates directly with ERPNext — attendance check-in events sync automatically via webhook into ERPNext's HR module. If you're using ERPNext for project management and payroll, the integration saves you from any manual data entry between the two systems. See the ERPNext integration details →
Sign up, add your sites and workers, and you're tracking attendance on day one — the whole setup takes under 30 minutes. Free for up to 10 employees. For larger crews, contact us and we'll get you set up before the project start date.
