The problem

Scattered timesheets hide your real labour cost

Time is the base of every cost calculation. Hours × cost rate = your project's labour spend. When those hours sit in four different places, nobody can say how much a job actually cost, and labour is up to 70% of it.

Employees in one portal

Your own crew clocks in on one system that doesn't know about anyone else on site.

Subbies in Excel

Fixed-rate and hourly subcontractors get rekeyed into spreadsheets, from memory, days later.

Loan labour in WhatsApp

Labour-hire hours arrive as texts and emails, if they arrive at all.

Generic clock-in apps

Crews don't use apps that are fiddly, so the field data you get back is patchy and wrong.

On site

Wrong hours, wrong project cost

If base time isn't captured accurately, labour cost can't be calculated. Directors get inaccurate project costs, jobs overrun, and owners can't tell whether they're making a profit.

In the office

Payroll day means spreadsheet day

Every pay run and job-cost report means stitching together portals, spreadsheets and message threads. It's a headache that should be automated.

The myth

"15 minutes doesn't matter"

It does. An extra 15 minutes per person, across a crew, every day, adds up fast. And "we'll get organised once we're bigger" makes adoption harder later. Set it up right from the start.

What you get

Your whole workforce, tracked on one platform

Swift Checkin is built specifically for construction industy.
Every hour captured flows straight into payroll and job costing.

Check-in that fits every site

Pick the mode that suits your setup, so every worker gets tracked without a fight.

  • Mobile check-in
    One tap, fast and simple.
  • QR check-in
    Multiple codes per site for each project or cost code.
  • Kiosk check-in
    A shared tablet at the site gate.
  • Digital time cards
    The paper card, without the paper.

Geofencing

Draw a virtual boundary around each job site. Workers can only clock in and out inside it, so on-site time is verified and buddy punching disappears.

Fraud-free time data that protects payroll and backs up your compliance records.

Meal breaks & compliance

Meal break allowances and compliance tracking sit right alongside time tracking, so you pay people correctly and have the records to prove it.

Site manager mode

Check-in the whole crew in seconds from one phone or tablet, so time is verified in the field, not guessed in the office.

  • Switch a worker's project or task mid-day without logging out.
  • Bulk edit and update timesheets in a single action.

The plan

Your crew hours tracked in three simple steps

    One tap in the app, as easy as using Facebook. Employees, subbies and loan labourers, all in the same place.

  3. 03

    Review your one-click timesheet

    A daily timesheet for the whole workforce is ready to review, then flows into payroll, compliance and job costing.

Cost-code linked

Every hour lands on the right job and cost code.

Live field data

Worried your crew won't use it?

It's built to be as simple as Facebook. No training day, no complaints. Just crews saying, "Yeah, it's really easy."

We get it

We know how it feels to find out a job went over budget because the hours were wrong.

You're constantly protecting profit and gross margin. We built Swift Checkin to replace the spreadsheets, manual entries and guesswork that get worse as your crew grows.

Protected margin

Accurate hours mean accurate labour cost, so you know your real profit on every job.

Less admin

No more rekeying spreadsheets or chasing hours on WhatsApp before pay day.

Full visibility

Live time data for your entire workforce on a single screen.

Ready to export

Send hours to job costing, payroll, safety or anywhere else you need them.

70%

Of your project cost is labour. Can you afford to guess it?

Without one platform for your entire crew, hours slip through the cracks, labour costs are miscalculated, and projects overrun before anyone notices.

FAQs

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Chat to our team.

Can I track employees, subcontractors and loan labourers together?+

Yes. Swift Checkin puts your whole workforce on one platform, including fixed-rate and hourly subcontractors and labour-hire workers, so you can see how long each person worked on each project.

What check-in options are there?+

Mobile one-tap check-in, QR codes (including multiple codes per site for different projects or cost codes), a shared kiosk, digital time cards, and site-manager mode for clocking in a whole crew from one device.

How does geofencing stop buddy punching?+

You set a virtual boundary around each job site. Workers can only clock in and out while they're inside it, so every recorded hour is verified on site.

What if a worker moves to another task mid-shift?+

A site or project manager can switch their project and task without them logging out, so time is always attributed to the right job and cost center. Bulk edits to timesheets take one action.

Where does the time data go?+

Tracked hours feed your payroll, compliance and job costing automatically, and you can export them for safety reporting or anything else you need.
