Free construction attendance software that works for multiple sites, even in weak signals
We run a construction company with 4–5 sites going at the same time, and keeping track of attendance across all of them has become a bit of a headache.
The biggest issue is that some of our sites have weak signal, so workers can't always clock in normally. We also end up getting messages from workers saying they're already onsite, but then we have no easy way to verify it. It creates a lot of back-and-forth for the foremen and whoever handles payroll.
We're looking for something simple that can help us:
- Track attendance across multiple job sites
- Still work when there's little or no signal
- Make buddy punching harder
- Let us see who actually clocked in at each site
- Cut down on the back-and-forth between workers, foremen, and payroll
Ideally, we'd like something free or at least with a usable free option.
For anyone managing construction or other field teams across multiple locations, what are you using for attendance or time tracking? I'm particularly interested in how it handles offline clock-ins and location verification.
