For site workers

Open the app, scan the poster. That is the whole thing.

Every system put in front of a site team fails at the same place: nobody knows what the app is, and nobody can remember the password. So the app carries your own firm’s name, and after the first sign-in it opens on four digits. It is a construction site sign-in app and a clock-in app in one: scan the poster at the gate and your day is on the timesheet.

What it is like to use

Twenty seconds at the gate, and no timesheet on Friday.

The design rule for the field half is that anything requiring
a briefing has already failed. Everything below is
either a scan, a tap or a signature.

Clocking in
Open the app, scan the QR poster, take the photograph it asks for. Confirm. The time is recorded at the scan and cannot be changed from the phone, so it cannot be back-dated, and the office sees the clock-in at the same instant you see the confirm screen. 5,204 clock-ins have gone through this way so far.
Four digits, not a password
You sign in once with your email address, a password and a four digit PIN. After that it is the four digits, every time. The four digits get you into the app. The scan at the poster is the construction site sign-in itself, and it is what builds the timesheet. A system that asks an operative to type a password on a wet Monday morning is a system that gets filled in by somebody else on Friday, badly.
Signing for what you were told
Toolbox talks and RAMS are signed on the screen, at the point they are delivered, by the person they were delivered to. No sheet going round on a clipboard and no signature added later by somebody who was not there.
Reporting a near miss
Twenty seconds, from the phone, with a photograph. The point of a near-miss system is volume. You want the small ones reported, and volume only happens when reporting costs almost nothing.
Certificates at the appliance
For engineers and testers, the record is made standing at the thing being tested, not typed up from a notebook that evening. The certificate generates from what was entered on site.

All of it in one app, carrying your firm's own name.

What is on the phone

Six of the 25+ modules, and what each
one saves you doing.

Your firm chooses which modules you see. The app runs on a platform in daily production since 2016, shaped to the way your firm already works.

QR
clock-in

Scan the poster, take the photo, confirm. The time cannot be changed from the phone, and a scan from away from the site is refused.

Near-miss
reporting

Twenty seconds with a photograph. Deliberately the fastest thing in the app, because a near miss nobody reports teaches nobody anything.

What gets asked
on the first morning.

Do I need to download an app?
Yes, and it is your employer’s own app, not a stranger’s. Search the App Store or Google Play for your firm’s name: the app carries your company name and icon. It runs on any iPhone or Android made in the last decade. You sign in once, then it opens on a four digit PIN. Only the app reads the poster, so a phone camera opens nothing. That scan is your construction site sign-in, held against you and the project rather than in a book in the cabin.
Is this a construction site sign-in app or a clock-in app?
Both, in one scan. Scanning the poster signs you onto the site and starts your timesheet for the day in the same moment. There is no book in the cabin and nothing to fill in on Friday. The office sees who is on site as it happens, and your hours land against the right job without anybody typing them.
What do I do the first time I open the app?
Sign in with the details the office sends you. The app then takes you through the firm’s health and safety policies, toolbox talks and training. You read each one and sign that you have understood it. That record shows you were properly briefed before you started on site, which the law expects of every firm.
Does this mean my hours get paid properly?
It means the hours reaching the office are the ones you actually worked, attributed to the right job, with a time nobody can back-date. The approved hours then export as CSV, XML or JSON straight into the payroll system your firm already uses.
Is the company tracking where I am all day?
No. Location is checked at the moment you scan, to confirm you are within 100 metres of the site you are clocking into. The app records your location at the scan and at no other time, so there is no tracking between scans.
What happens to the photograph of me?
It is attached to that clock-in as evidence of who was on site. It is held in London and covered by the same retention and access rules as everything else. It is not published anywhere, and access settings control who in the firm can see it. See the privacy notice.
Does the app work where there is no signal?
Yes. Scan the poster as normal. With no signal, your clock-in is stored on your phone and sent to the office as soon as you are back in signal. Your hours arrive without you doing anything else. It works the same in a basement, a plant room or a rural site.
What if I forget to clock out?
A notice stays on your phone for as long as you are clocked in, so the end of the shift reminds you. If you still miss it, tell the office the same day. They add the finish time with a flag, and the original stays on the record with who changed it and when. That protects you as much as the firm, because nobody’s hours can move without a trace. What happens when a clock-out is missed.
I work nights. How are my hours recorded?
The same way as a day shift: scan the poster when you start and when you finish. A night that runs past midnight stays one shift on your timesheet, so it is never split into two short days. Your night hours are shown apart from the rest and paid at the night rate your firm sets. Your nights for the week are in the app, with a notification if one changes.
What if there is no QR poster on the site?
Clock in from the app and take a photograph of the site instead. Your start is recorded at the time you arrive, which is far better than a message to the office later in the day. Tell your supervisor as well, so a poster goes up. It happens most on the first morning of a new job, or when the poster is kept in a locked security cabin.
Will I know where I am working next week?
Yes. Your own week’s allocation is in the app, and you get a push notification when it changes. How the labour run works.
Can I read the RAMS in my own language?
Yes. A RAMS opens on your phone in your preferred language, with readability tools if you want them, and toolbox talks work the same way. You confirm the key points, then sign on the screen.
Can I sign a RAMS without the app?
Yes. If you are agency, temporary or with a subcontractor and do not have the app, the office sends you a signing link for that RAMS. It opens in any browser on a phone or a computer, and your signature joins the same record as everybody else’s. How RAMS signing works.
What else is in the app?
Whatever your firm switches on. Your CSCS and training cards sit in the app, and holiday is booked from it. Site inductions, permits to work, dynamic risk assessments and daily vehicle checks are done on the phone. COSHH assessments are read and signed the same way as a RAMS. Expenses are claimed with a photograph of the receipt, snags are closed with a photograph, and travel time is recorded in your working day. Feedback goes to the firm in confidence. Once your week is approved, your timesheet arrives as a PDF.
