Alternatives to HR suites for companies that clock in on site

The best-known time tracking tools are designed for office headcount: employees, departments and fixed workplaces. If your crew moves to a different site every week, clocks in wearing gloves and sometimes has no signal, the problem is not that the tool is bad. It is that it was never built for how you work.

Honest comparisons: each one also says when your current tool is the better choice.

Why people end up here

What comes up in every one of these comparisons

01

The unit is the employee, not the site

An HR suite organises the world into employees, departments and workplaces. In construction the real unit is the site: it has an address, a perimeter, start and end dates, an assigned crew and hours that have to be booked against it.

02

The clock-in is recorded but never validated

Storing where someone clocked in is not the same as stopping an entry made ten kilometres away from being accepted. Without a perimeter per site, location is just one more field somebody has to review by hand.

03

Hours per site end up in a spreadsheet

Reports come out per employee and per period. To find out how many hours the Main Street job has taken this month, someone exports, cross-references and reconciles. Exactly the manual work you were trying to get rid of.

04

You pay for modules you will never open

Payroll, performance reviews, recruiting, training, employee portal. All of it is worth a lot to an HR department and nothing to a site manager who only needs to know who clocked in and where.
