Construction time tracking software has become essential for contractors who want to stay compliant, cut admin time, and reduce risk across complex projects. From civil infrastructure to fitouts and facilities work, knowing exactly who’s on-site and when is critical — especially when dealing with tight deadlines, subcontractor coordination and safety responsibilities.
Whether you’re working under SafePass in Ireland, CSCS in the UK or OSHA in the USA, Boxcore’s time and attendance system helps you keep records clean, reduce disputes and support your safety obligations — without adding complexity for your site teams.
Here are five reasons construction companies across Ireland, the UK and the USA are moving to Boxcore.
1. Reliable Attendance Records Reduce Payroll Errors and Time Theft
Spreadsheets, sign-in sheets and verbal headcounts are still used on too many sites — and they’re a major source of payroll mistakes, buddy-punching, and false time claims. These problems scale fast when multiple subcontractors are involved.
Boxcore replaces all that with accurate, real-time data. Using facial recognition or mobile self check-in, every worker’s arrival and departure time is recorded instantly. Hours are logged automatically and broken down by worker, subcontractor or crew.
“Ultimately, we bring all key safety data into one place and eliminate the back-and-forth emails, manual spreadsheets and paper folders that slow teams down.”
— Padraig Reilly, Founder & CEO
This ensures every hour on-site is captured accurately — removing guesswork and giving you defensible records for payroll or client reporting.
2. Real-Time Visibility for Site Managers and Safety Teams
Construction moves fast. Contractors need live oversight — not yesterday’s timesheets. Boxcore gives your entire project team real-time dashboards showing:
- Who’s on site
- Which subcontractors are present
- How long each worker has been on the job
- Whether required training or orientation is in place
These tools are mobile-first and easy to use from site, head office or even during client meetings.
For US-based contractors, this visibility also supports OSHA requirements for site control and safety planning — especially when tracking orientation completions and ensuring all workers are qualified to perform assigned tasks.
3. Helps You Stay Compliant — Across Ireland, the UK and the USA
Time tracking ties directly into compliance. Without knowing who’s on-site, it’s impossible to verify if everyone is trained and certified. Boxcore ensures only compliant workers can access your site by linking time tracking to worker profiles.
It supports location-specific requirements:
- Ireland: Track SafePass, manual handling and GA2/GA3 inspection data
- UK: Manage CSCS card verification and digital training record storage to align with Golden Thread obligations
- USA: Enforce OSHA training requirements and track local orientations (such as SST cards for NYC)
In the USA, failing to verify OSHA training and orientation can lead to citations, fines or even stop-work orders. Boxcore provides a clear audit trail to protect against this — while also offering fast exportable reports during an inspection.
4. Flexible for Every Project — With or Without Turnstiles
Some projects run on fixed access points with facial recognition or biometric devices. Others are remote or mobile, with no hardware in place. Boxcore supports both:
- Biometric facial recognition: Ideal for high-traffic sites using turnstiles or wall-mounted Suprema devices
- Self check-in via app: Perfect for smaller crews, rotating teams, or sites with no fixed infrastructure
Each check-in includes a timestamp and optional GPS verification. This dual approach means you don’t need a separate system for civils, commercial and fitout work — Boxcore can be deployed on every job.
It also ensures better training record checks on remote jobs where inductions might otherwise be skipped or delayed — supporting your safety protocols even on lower-profile jobs.
5. Reduces Insurance Risk and Strengthens Incident Defence
Construction time tracking doesn’t just support payroll and compliance — it helps reduce insurance liabilities and protects contractors during incident investigations.
Accurate records of:
- Who was on-site
- When they entered and left
- Whether they had required training
- Which contractor they were working for
… all help defend against claims and demonstrate due diligence.
For example, if a worker is injured on-site and alleges poor site control, Boxcore provides timestamped evidence of their orientation completion, safety credentials, and total time on-site. That can help reduce liability, avoid lengthy disputes, and strengthen your insurance position.
Contractors using Boxcore are already seeing reduced insurance risk profiles through better documentation and audit readiness.
