Construction
Construction sites have patchy coverage, many subcontractors and constant changes. Offline-first punches and agency tagging keep attendance accurate on site, and corrections go through approval.
In plain words
Construction sites change daily: new subcontractors, crews moving between zones, long days and weak signal. Attendance is both a payroll matter and a safety one, because you want to know who is on site, and a cost matter, because subcontractor hours are checked before they are paid.
dayFlow is built for those conditions. Phones record punches offline, subcontractors are tagged by company, overtime follows your rules, and the foreman approves the week with the exceptions already listed.
The challenge
Today
With dayFlow
How dayFlow helps
Basements, tunnels and remote sites have no signal. Punches are saved on the phone with their real time and upload when coverage returns, so the day is complete afterwards.
In practice
Tag each subcontractor's workers with their company. Approved hours can be exported per company, so payments to subcontractors are checked against verified hours.
In practice
Long days and weekend work are part of the job. Set when overtime starts and its rate, handle holidays separately, and let workers ask for overtime from the app with a manager's decision on record.
In practice
A normal day
06:30
Each worker clocks in by selfie at the gate.
09:00
Below ground there is no signal; punches wait on the phone.
16:00
Subcontractor hours are tagged by agency.
Friday
The foreman approves the week; overtime follows your rule.
Examples
A new tower site
Three subcontractors start on Monday. Their workers are added and tagged the same morning and clock in at the gate.
A tunnel crew
There is no signal underground. Everything uploads after the shift, and the foreman approves with no gaps.
A payment dispute
A subcontractor claims more hours than paid. The verified punches per worker settle it.
