Construction time tracking your crew can actually use
Quick answer
SiteForta is mobile construction time tracking built for small and mid-size contractors. Crews clock in and out from their phone, hours auto-tally per job and task, and Friday payroll runs from real data instead of paper timesheets nobody can read.
For contractors, office managers, and bookkeepers tired of chasing handwritten timesheets and reconciling "I think I worked til 4-ish" estimates against actual job costs.
Sound familiar?
- Paper timesheets get lost, illegible, or filled out from memory on Friday
- No way to tie hours back to specific jobs or tasks for job-costing
- Buddy-punching and inflated hours quietly drain margins
- Office spends hours every week reconciling timesheets
- No mobile-friendly option crews will actually use
How SiteForta helps
- Phone-friendly clock-in / clock-out from the web app
- Hours automatically allocated to the active job and task
- Per-crew, per-job, per-week totals visible to owners and office staff
- Project and job context on every time entry
- Review flow for missed or disputed time entries
- No extra device, no biometric kiosk, no training class
A real example
A 6-person electrical subcontractor starts the day. Each technician clocks in from a phone, selects the active job, and clocks out at lunch and end-of-day. The office manager can then review per-job hours from recorded time entries instead of reconstructing the week from handwritten sheets.
Frequently asked questions
What is construction time tracking software?
Construction time tracking software lets crews clock in and out from a mobile-ready web app, ties hours to specific jobs and tasks, and gives the office accurate, exportable data for payroll, billing, and job-costing - without paper or spreadsheets.
Does SiteForta include geofencing?
Not yet. Current time entries are tied to projects and jobs; geofencing should stay out of sales copy until the UI and backend enforce it.
Can hours be allocated to specific tasks within a job?
Yes. Each clock-in includes both job and task selection, so you can answer "how many hours went into framing on the Smith remodel?" not just "how many hours total?".
Does it integrate with payroll software?
Direct payroll integrations and outbound product webhooks are not released yet. For now, use the timesheet review screens and plan any payroll export work during onboarding.
What if a crew member forgets to clock out?
The foreman or office manager can adjust missed entries from a review screen. All edits are logged in an audit trail so payroll-time corrections are traceable.
