GPS clock in, live map and timesheets for site teams

Construction Time & Attendance App

EstiMate Crew is a construction time and attendance app. Site staff clock in and out on their phone, the location is recorded at that moment, and timesheets fill themselves in from the clock. The office sees who is on site now, and, where the company turns it on, a live map of the crew while they are clocked in.

Why builders choose EstiMate

How does clocking in work?

Each worker clocks in on the EstiMate Crew app against a job, or against the yard, a merchant or travelling. The phone records where they clocked in from, so the hours carry a place as well as a time. The office sets the working day, lunch and overtime threshold, and can require a GPS fix before anyone can clock.

  • Clock in and out against a job
  • Location recorded at clock in and out
  • Optional GPS fix required to clock

Can the office see who is on site right now?

Yes. The on-the-clock board shows everyone currently clocked in, which job they are on and where they clocked in from, and refreshes every minute. If the company turns on live location and the worker allows it, a map shows each person's latest position and their trail for the day while they are clocked in.

  • Live who's-on-site board
  • Live crew map while clocked in
  • Each worker's trail for the day

When is location tracked, and when isn't it?

Only during working time. Live location runs while someone is clocked in, only if the employer has turned it on and the worker has allowed it, and it stops when they clock out. The phone shows a location indicator while it runs. The company is the data controller for its crew's data, as set out in our privacy policy.

  • Only while clocked in
  • Employer switches it on, worker allows it
  • Stops at clock out

How do timesheets get done?

Each day fills itself in from what the phone clocked. If a worker changes a time they give a reason, and the office sees both the clocked record and what was sent. Approve a day or query it with a note, and the worker sees the answer on their phone. Days where the phone was a long way from the job are flagged for a look.

  • Self-filling weekly timesheets
  • Changes need a reason
  • Approve or query from the office

What else does the Crew app do on site?

Mileage is tracked while on the clock or typed in, and the travel and fuel view flags fuel that looks high for the miles. Staff send receipts, expenses, photos, signed site forms, site diaries and materials requests, book a van and request holiday. The office posts to the whole crew board, and every post buzzes their phones.

  • Mileage, fuel and receipts
  • Materials requests and site documents
  • Crew board and one-to-one messages

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the EstiMate Crew app GPS tracking?

Location is recorded when a worker clocks in and out. Continuous live location only runs while they are clocked in, only if the company has turned it on and the worker allows it, and it stops when they clock out.

Do timesheets have to be typed in?

No. Each day fills itself in from the clock. Workers can change a time with a reason, and the office approves or queries the day.

Which plans include the Crew app?

It is included on EstiMate Commercial and Corp with unlimited crew, and is a £29.99 a month add-on on EstiMate Pro. Crew never count as office logins.

How do staff sign in?

The office adds them on the Workers & Subbies register. The first time, a six-character set-up code (or QR) pairs the phone and they choose a password; after that they sign in with their employee number and password. The office can sign anyone out.
