Construction Time Tracking Software Must Deliver More Than Just Clock-Ins

Safety Software for Construction

Construction time tracking software is no longer just about recording hours. Modern projects demand much more – real-time visibility, accurate records, secure access, and a streamlined way to manage onboarding and compliance from the ground up. That’s exactly where Boxcore comes in.

Built for practical, on-site use, Boxcore is changing how contractors—both large and small—track time, manage training, and handle workforce compliance. Whether you’re managing civil works in Dublin or a data centre build in New York, the platform delivers what construction teams need most: speed, simplicity, and control.

Fast Setup, Zero Fuss

Nobody wants to spend weeks getting new software off the ground. Boxcore gets teams fully operational- using live site data- in a matter of hours. There’s no steep learning curve or need for dedicated IT support. From foremen to subcontractors, anyone can get started in minutes, with minimal training needed.

Initial setup includes full training and free migration of your existing records, including worker training data. Site teams are supported throughout with support based in Ireland, the UK and the US. You also get a dedicated success manager to ensure long-term value.

Facial Recognition for Accurate Time and Attendance

Boxcore uses facial recognition to log worker attendance and control site access. This system is more secure than swipe cards or sign-in sheets and reduces the risk of time theft or proxy clock-ins. Just two photos taken within the app are enough to register a worker.

On projects using turnstiles, access is fully controlled – only verified workers with approved training records can enter. On smaller or open-access sites, supervisors can still track exact attendance with a click. This is especially useful for subcontractor-heavy projects, where transparency is essential.

You can even break down workforce numbers by company, role, and project in real time.

Built-In Onboarding and Training Management

Proper onboarding is a major pain point for most construction teams. Lost paperwork, delayed inductions, or missing safety credentials lead to delays and compliance risks. Boxcore solves this by digitising the entire process.

New workers can be onboarded in seconds. Upload CSCS, Safepass, or SST cards, assign site-specific training, and complete digital inductions all from a mobile device. The system flags expired or missing training automatically and keeps a full audit trail of everything.

This is a game-changer for contractors who manage multiple sites or frequently rotate crews between projects. You’ll know exactly who’s qualified to be on site—no guesswork, no time lost.

Real-Time Visibility and Exportable Reports

Boxcore provides instant access to live time tracking data across all active sites. Project managers can pull attendance reports, check site headcounts, and view historical data in just a few clicks. No waiting around for spreadsheets from supervisors or chasing up paper logs.

All data is exportable to Excel or PDF and can be filtered by company, trade, or timeframe. Whether you’re responding to a client query, preparing for a safety audit, or verifying contractor hours for payroll, the information is ready when you need it.

This is especially useful for Tier One contractors needing full audit trails across multiple sites. Boxcore is built for transparency and compliance.

Seamless Data Collection and Sharing

Too often, data lives in siloes—split between different spreadsheets, apps, or emails. Boxcore eliminates this. All safety documents, attendance logs, training records, and inspections are stored centrally and accessible from any device. You don’t need to be on-site to get visibility.

You can also grant controlled access to external clients or stakeholders, making it easy to prove compliance or share updates. That’s why nearly 50% of Boxcore’s customers are subcontractors—who need to keep clients informed and prove their workforce is fully trained and approved.

Documents can be uploaded, reviewed, and approved in seconds, removing the need for endless email chains or Dropbox links.

This streamlined approach is particularly effective for firms working under ISO 45001 or local site safety requirements. See how Boxcore supports ISO 45001 compliance →

Built for the Realities of Construction Sites

Unlike software designed for the office, Boxcore is built specifically for site conditions. It works offline, syncs automatically, and is intuitive enough for busy foremen and supervisors to use without IT support. The mobile-first design means everything can be done from a phone or tablet—even full audits.

“Time is scarce and teams simply don’t have the bandwidth for tools that don’t deliver a clear return quickly. Contractors want to save time, reduce admin and get better visibility across projects. That’s what we’re focused on – helping contractors unlock a step change in productivity by removing manual admin from their safety processes.”
— Padraig Reilly, CEO & Founder of Boxcore

That commitment to real-world usability is one reason Boxcore has been adopted on over 1,100 projects and by more than 40,000 workers to date.
