What makes construction different
In construction there is no “office” where the worker shows up. There are 5 active sites across the region, an 8-person crew rotating between them, some in the company van, some in their own cars. The foreman’s first morning question: “who’s on which site today?” Second: “when did you actually arrive?” Third: “why doesn’t last month’s report match?”
TimeHunter with the GPS & Geofencing addon answers all three automatically. Every check-in has coordinates, geofencing alerts when a worker leaves the site, a heatmap shows where they spent the day. The foreman wakes up to a list: who, where, since when.
GPS + geofencing — anti-fraud without bureaucracy
GPS on every Start/Stop
Worker taps Start — system logs coordinates to 10m accuracy. No GPS = invalid check-in.
Per-site geofencing
Draw the site polygon on a map. Alert when worker leaves the zone (off to a bar? home?).
Daily trail heatmap
Where the worker moved. Red zones = long stay. Green = passing through.
In-app notification (GDPR)
In-app notice: “location collected during working hours.” GDPR and labor-law compliant.
Multi-site — labor cost per project
Each site is a project with its own hours budget and cost. At start the worker picks the active site from a list of 5. End of month: report shows labor cost per site — Site A: 320h × €8.5 = €2720, Site B: 180h × €8.5 = €1530. No more “I logged it on A but you wrote B” disputes.
Active sites list in app
Worker picks the site from a dropdown at start.
Labor cost per site
Hourly rate × hours = automatic cost.
Hours budget per project
Alert at 80% budget — react before losing money.
Offline mode + photo check-in — works anywhere
A construction site in the forest, LTE “1 bar, 0 internet.” The TimeHunter mobile app saves the check-in locally and syncs once the signal returns (usually at the worker accommodation in the evening). Time, GPS and selfie are saved immediately — even offline you don’t lose data.
Photo check-in addon (€0.50/user/month) adds a selfie to every Start/Stop. Watermark with GPS, timestamp and worker ID — can’t be swapped or pre-staged. Ideal for an industry where “a buddy will punch me in” is the #1 fraud vector.
Labor-law compliance
Construction is among the most-inspected industries due to accidents and overtime. TimeHunter generates a complete work card in PDF — ready for the inspector in 5 seconds. Plus automatic alerts on violations: 11h daily rest, 35h weekly rest, overtime caps.
