The Woffu alternative when your people are on site, not in the office
Woffu is one of the most focused time and attendance products on the Spanish market, and in an office it works very well. The difference is the unit of work: Woffu organises time around the employee and their working day; HoraTrack organises it around the site, with its perimeter, its crew and its hours.
Per-site geofencing, an app that works with no coverage and site reports ready for an inspection.
Of all the comparisons in this section, this is the closest one: Woffu takes time tracking seriously too. If your team works in fixed locations, with shifts and hour balances to reconcile, Woffu is a solid option and probably more complete than we are at planning. The moment your workers rotate between sites and you need to verify physical presence at each one, a vertical site product gives you what a workforce product cannot without workarounds.
Why construction companies look for a Woffu alternative
Office shifts versus site rotation
Shift planning fits stable hours and fixed locations. In construction the crew moves as the work progresses, and what you need is not a rota but the ability to reassign people to sites in seconds.
Physical presence is not verified
Recording a start time does not prove the person was on the site. Without a perimeter configured per site, there is no automatic way to tell an entry made at the workface from one made in the van.
The reports you get asked for are missing
You need hours per site for certifications, budgets and cost allocation, and a PDF per worker for an inspection. Reports built around balances and absences do not answer that directly.
A site with no coverage breaks the flow
Basements, warehouses, rural sites: if clocking in depends on having a connection at that moment, you end up with daily incidents and a paper backup. Again.
Woffu and HoraTrack, point by point
| What you need on site | Woffu | HoraTrack |
|---|---|---|
| Product focus | Time and attendance, absences and planning for the workforce | Vertical time-record product for companies that work on site |
| Unit of organisation | Employee, working day, shift and workplace | Site: address, geofencing radius, status, assigned crew and booked hours |
| Location validation | Clock-in from app, web and on-site terminals | Per-site geofencing: every entry is checked against the radius and flagged if it falls outside |
| Hours per site | Reports per employee, balances and absences | Reports per site, worker or period, with hours already booked to each site |
| Use in the field | A working-time and requests interface | One screen and one button: the worker sees their site and clocks in |
| No signal | Built for environments with a stable connection | The app records time and GPS with no coverage and syncs when it returns |
| Shift planning | Rotas and planning: one of their strengths | We do not do rotas. We assign workers to sites, which is a different thing |
| Working-time records | Meets working-time recording duties for general headcount | Meets them with a timestamp, a location and a GPS status on every entry |
| Getting started | Configuring calendars, agreements and absence policies | Create the site, set the radius on the map, invite the crew. Live the same day |

When to switch and when not to
Stay with Woffu if…
- You need real shift planning and rotas, not just time records.
- You manage hour balances, flexitime and absence policies with collective-agreement rules.
- Your team works in fixed locations where verifying position adds little.
- Your payroll is already integrated with their platform and it runs without friction.
Switch to HoraTrack if…
- Your people move between sites and you need to know in real time who is on which one.
- You need to evidence physical presence on the site, not just that somebody pressed a button.
- You want hours booked per site for certification or budgeting without reconciling spreadsheets.
- You work where coverage is poor and cannot depend on a connection to clock in.
- You want the crew using it with no training: open it, see the site, clock in.
What moving from Woffu looks like
We export entries and staff
You download the history from Woffu as a spreadsheet. It is kept as the record for the previous period, for as long as the rules require.
We turn workplaces into sites
Each workplace becomes a site with a real address and a geofencing radius drawn on the map, not a label.
We assign the crews
Every worker lands on their current site. When the crew moves, you reassign from the dashboard without redoing configuration.
We close the loop with payroll
We agree the export your payroll provider expects and set a cut-off date, so no period is left half-recorded across two tools.

Per-site geofencing, multi-site, offline app, reports and a live dashboard.
