Reliable attendance records where biometric clocks cannot go

Construction sites are dusty, temporary and frequently lack fixed internet wiring, making expensive biometric turnstiles impractical for smaller contractors and subcontractors. Paper timesheets are vulnerable to loss, water damage and inaccurate estimates.

Jornadapp lets workers clock in with GPS geofencing on their phones or by scanning a weather-resistant QR code at the site entrance, ensuring verifiable records without heavy hardware investment.

Key operational benefits

Job-site geofencing

Define virtual boundaries for each project and flag clock-ins attempted off-site.

Works in harsh environments

Staff use mobile devices or laminated QR tags that resist dust and weather.

Subcontractor & crew tracking

Organize workers by site supervisor, crew, trade or project code.

Safety & site headcount

Check the live list of workers currently present on site in case of an emergency.

Everyday construction challenges solved

  • Contractors managing multiple active renovation projects across different towns.
  • Electrical, plumbing and HVAC trades moving between residential and commercial sites.
  • General builders needing proof of hours spent per site for client billing and project costing.
  • Ensuring compliance with working hours and mandatory rest periods in strenuous environments.

How to get started

Create your job sites

Register project addresses, name site foremen and set GPS geofence radiuses.

Choose attendance method

Enable smartphone GPS for mobile trades or a site QR checkpoint at the container office.

Allocate hours to projects

Analyze attendance hours by job site to track labor productivity and job margins.

Frequently asked questions

Can a site supervisor clock in an entire crew if workers do not have smartphones?

Yes. Foremen can use team clock-in mode to mark attendance for their assigned crew members simultaneously.

What happens if a site has no mobile data coverage?

Clock-ins are recorded offline with verified device timestamps and synchronized as soon as the phone regains network reception.

Can hours be segmented by project code?

Yes. Workers can select which project or task they are working on, making job-costing and client invoicing straightforward.
