Ironworks Cut Payroll Errors by 96% with GPS-Verified Clock-Ins

Ironworks & Co. had 320 crew members spread across 8 active commercial construction sites. Time tracking was completely honor-based, utilizing paper timesheets submitted at the end of the week.

Foremen spent hours every Friday chasing down timesheets, deciphering handwriting, and arguing over exact arrival times. The resulting payroll process was riddled with errors.

More importantly, job costing was wildly inaccurate. Project managers couldn't accurately tie labor hours to specific phases of the build.

StaffSchedule offered a ruggedized mobile experience with strictly enforced GPS geofencing. A worker physically cannot clock into a job site unless their phone's GPS registers them within the predefined radius of the site.

Payroll errors vanished. Because times were logged to the minute via GPS, the weekly 'he said, she said' arguments over start times were eliminated, dropping time disputes by 88%.

By gaining hyper-accurate data on how long specific tasks (e.g., framing vs. finishing) actually took, estimators could bid more accurately on future projects, ultimately improving job profitability by 11%.
