Construction site time tracking – record working hours directly on site, assign them to projects and invoice them accurately
Excel spreadsheets and punch clocks don't work on construction sites. Jobilino does: the site foreman clocks in the entire crew via a smartphone, every hour is automatically assigned to the correct site, and the office has a real-time overview. Even without mobile signal – the app works completely offline.
- Offline-capable on every construction site
- Crew recording by the site foreman
- 13 languages for international teams
Gang recording by the site foreman
The site foreman or supervisor records the working hours of his entire crew via a single device. Not every construction worker needs their own smartphone. A feature that office time-tracking solutions do not offer – and one that makes the difference between theory and practice on construction sites.
Fully offline-capable
No mobile signal in the shell construction? No Wi-Fi in the basement? The app saves all entries locally and synchronises automatically. NFC tags also work without an internet connection. Not a single entry is lost on the construction site.
NFC tag on the site container or entrance
NFC tags are attached to site containers, entrances or scaffolding. Employees hold their smartphone up to the tag and are clocked in – physical proof of presence without GPS. Privacy-friendly and works in every building.
The problem
What goes wrong with time tracking on construction sites
On construction sites, working hours are still recorded on paper – if at all. The timesheet sits in the site cabin, is filled in from memory on Friday and brought to the office on Monday. There, someone deciphers the entries, chases up missing hours and transfers everything into Excel. This costs hours every week and still delivers no reliable data.
- Timesheets are only filled in on Friday evening – working hours are rounded, estimated and barely verifiable
- Paper gets lost on the construction site, gets wet or becomes illegible – no piece of paper survives long in a site cabin
- The office spends hours every week deciphering, following up and transferring data into Excel
- Site hours are entered as flat figures – post-calculation per trade or order is impossible
- No mobile signal in shell construction or basement areas – GPS-based solutions do not work reliably
- During a regulatory inspection, seamless documentation of all working hours and breaks is missing
The solution
Digital time tracking on the construction site with Jobilino
Jobilino is built for construction sites – not office workplaces. The site foreman clocks in the entire crew via a single smartphone and assigns the hours to the construction site. NFC tags are attached to site cabins and access points, allowing employees to clock in with a single tap. The app works fully offline – in shell construction, in basements and on sites without mobile coverage. All times are automatically synchronised as soon as a connection is restored. The office can see in real time which crew is working on which site and how many hours have been logged.
Site assignment when clocking in
Every hour is automatically assigned to the correct construction site. With NFC tags, the assignment is stored permanently. With app clock-ins, the site manager selects the construction site. At the end, you know exactly how many hours have been allocated to which construction site.
Photo documentation for daily construction reports
Employees add photos directly in the app – construction progress, material documentation, damage reports. The photos are automatically assigned to the construction site and the relevant time period. The foundation for seamless daily construction reports.
How it works
How time tracking on the construction site works
-
Create construction sites in the system
Set up your construction sites as projects. Configure NFC tags for entrances and containers. Takes just a few minutes per construction site.
-
Foreman clocks in the crew
In the morning, the foreman clocks in his team via a device and selects the construction site. Alternatively, employees can clock in themselves using an NFC tag at the container.
-
Working hours are recorded
Start, breaks and end of work are documented automatically. Even without internet – all bookings are saved locally.
-
The office evaluates and exports
In the dashboard, management sees all construction site hours in real time. Monthly overviews and project reports are exported as CSV or Excel – ready for payroll processing and post-calculation.
Your benefits
- Crew recording – the site foreman clocks the entire team via a single device; not every construction worker needs a smartphone
- Offline-capable – works in shell constructions, in basements and on construction sites without mobile coverage
- NFC at the site container – physical proof of attendance without GPS and without internet
- Construction site hours at the touch of a button – precise post-calculation per trade, construction site and order
- Payroll preparation in minutes – ready-made exports instead of manually typing up weekly timesheets
- 13 languages – Serbian, Croatian, Romanian and Hungarian employees work in their own language
- Regulatory compliant – complete documentation of all working hours with timestamp and location
- Photo documentation – record construction progress and damage reports directly in the app
For whom
Which construction companies is Jobilino suited for?
Jobilino is used by construction companies with 3 to 200 employees – from the sole trader with one crew to the mid-sized general contractor running several concurrent sites. Typical businesses: structural engineering, civil engineering, shell construction, drywall, scaffolding, demolition and earthworks. But also electricians, plumbers, painters, roofers and HVAC companies that regularly work on construction sites. Jobilino is particularly valuable for businesses with international crews, rotating sites and the requirement to document project hours cleanly by trade and client.
