Construction time tracking software has rapidly evolved from simple clock-in systems to sophisticated platforms that offer site-wide visibility, secure access control, and seamless compliance tracking. For contractors operating in New York, Ireland and the UK, time tracking is not just about counting hours — it’s about proving compliance, managing labour costs, and gaining real-time oversight across multiple subcontractors and projects.
Boxcore is built specifically for construction firms that need to track time, training, and team movements with minimum effort and maximum reliability. Whether you’re working under New York’s Local Law 196, managing CSCS card requirements in the UK, or keeping your Safepass records up-to-date in Ireland, having one integrated platform makes a huge difference.
Time tracking on construction sites has always been essential for managing costs, but with increasing regulatory pressures and a rise in subcontractor-driven labour models, it’s now a legal and operational necessity. In New York City, contractors must maintain digital records of who is on site and when — especially under the Site Safety Training (SST) framework. In the UK and Ireland, similar pressures exist with growing audit requirements tied to CSCS and Safepass credentials along with tracking task specific and project specific training.
Many contractors still rely on manual sign-in sheets, swipe cards or separate tools that don’t talk to each other. This introduces delays, compliance risks, and makes it hard to get an accurate picture of workforce activity across your projects.
Boxcore combines facial recognition-based time and attendance with digital training records, worker onboarding and real-time site access control — all through a mobile-first interface. See how our integrated features work.
One of the biggest breakthroughs in modern time tracking is facial recognition. At Boxcore, we’ve integrated this technology in a way that’s secure, fast and practical. Workers simply have two facial images captured within the app, and from then on, they can be identified instantly during check-in and check-out.
This offers several benefits:
Boxcore works seamlessly with Suprema Biostation 3 devices, offering rock-solid reliability on even the busiest construction sites.

Construction sites are dynamic environments. Workers arrive at different times, sites may not have turnstiles, and subcontractors often rotate in and out.
Boxcore provides flexibility through self check-in features, enabling workers to clock in using facial recognition or mobile verification — without needing constant supervision. This is especially useful on smaller sites or projects without fixed entry points.
You stay compliant, without bottlenecks at the gate.
One of the key pain points for construction firms — especially those operating across borders — is managing inductions, credentials and training records. Boxcore lets you onboard workers in minutes using digital workflows that capture:
Each worker’s profile stays with them across multiple sites or projects, so you’re never repeating admin or chasing paperwork.

With Boxcore, site managers and superintendents in New York, Dublin, or Manchester can view real-time dashboards showing:
This helps avoid overstaffing, under-documentation, and safety blind spots. If an audit happens, everything is available instantly.
Our platform also generates time and attendance reports on-demand, which are especially useful for verifying invoices and demonstrating SST compliance in NYC or CSCS compliance in the UK.

Construction firms handle a surprising amount of sensitive data — worker IDs, project documentation, safety records. At Boxcore, data security isn’t an afterthought. We are one of the few construction platforms that are independently SOC2 Type 2 certified, giving you peace of mind whether you’re handling projects for local authorities or multinational clients.
This matters not just for internal security, but for demonstrating GDPR compliance in Ireland and the UK, or CCPA compliance in the United States.
Time tracking software isn’t useful if it takes weeks to roll out or needs hours of training. Boxcore is built for real-world adoption by busy site teams.
Here’s what that looks like:
That speed of implementation sets us apart — and it’s why Boxcore has been chosen for over 1,000 projects globally.

Boxcore has seen strong growth with firms operating across multiple jurisdictions. From Tier One contractors working on civil infrastructure in the UK, to subcontractors in New York rolling out SST compliance tools, the platform scales to suit both enterprise and local builders.
Over 40,000 worker profiles are now active in the system — and feedback from frontline users has been key to shaping our ongoing development.
As Padraig Reilly, CEO of Boxcore, puts it:
“At the end of the day, our goal is simple: we want to give contractors tools that actually make their lives easier on site. It’s about cutting down the admin, improving safety and helping teams get the job done with less hassle.”
Construction firms in New York face heightened scrutiny around worker safety, particularly under DOB rules. In Ireland and the UK, CSCS and Safepass enforcement is ramping up. Across all regions, managing a mobile workforce without the right tools is simply too risky.
