What is the best construction attendance software in India?
HelloTime is built for construction crews. It combines GPS geofences, site-based clock-in, contractor tags, phase-code job costing and offline sync — so attendance is never lost on remote sites.
How does GPS geofencing work on moving construction sites?
Admins set a lat/lng and radius (or GeoJSON polygon) per gate or yard. The phone validates the clock-in against the site boundary, and moving sites can be updated in seconds.
Can contractors clock in without a smartphone?
Yes. HelloTime supports WhatsApp and SMS clock-in, so supervisors or labourers without a smartphone can still record attendance. Site foremen can also clock in workers from a shared phone.
What is phase-code job costing?
Workers tag clock events to a project phase or cost code — excavation, RCC, finishing, etc. Hours roll into HelloBooks for project costing and client billing without manual re-entry.
Does HelloTime work offline at remote sites?
Yes. The mobile app queues clock events locally and syncs when connectivity returns. Site punches are never lost in basements, tunnels or remote yards.
Is payroll for construction workers available?
India statutory payroll flow (TDS, PF, ESI, PT, Form 24Q, Form 16) is currently in private beta. Attendance and job-costing exports to HelloBooks are live today.
