Clock in on site, with location and photo
Workers clock in from their phone when they arrive and when they leave. Tabiquo records where and when, with a photo if you want one. At month end the hours per project are already there: you read them instead of reconstructing them.
What changes when clock-in moves to the phone
On site, hours have always been counted by hand: a signature sheet in the cabin, a message in the evening, the foreman's notebook. That works while you have two projects. By the fifth, nobody knows how many hours went to which project, and the margin only surfaces once the work is finished.
Clocking in from a phone is not about watching people. It is about tying every hour to the project it was worked on, at the moment it is worked. The location confirms the clock-in happened on site rather than in a driveway; the photo, when you ask for one, settles the argument.
What you can do with Tabiquo
Clock-in is where the data enters that later carries the reports, the costs and the payroll.
In and out from a phone
Two taps. The worker picks the project and clocks in; if it is always the same project, it comes pre-selected.
Location at the moment of clock-in
Tabiquo compares the location against the project's and flags clock-ins made away from it, rather than silently rejecting them.
Photo on clock-in
You can require a photo on entry. Useful where a client wants proof of presence, or where you work as a subcontractor.
Anomalies flagged automatically
Shifts that run too long, missing clock-outs, entries away from site: all flagged and held for a supervisor to sign off.
Clock in the whole crew
A foreman clocks the crew in at once, and anyone on approved leave is already filtered out of the list.
Hours per project, exportable
Hours export to Excel split by project and by person, ready for labour costing or payroll.
Who tracks time with Tabiquo
Contractors
Anyone running crews across several projects who wants labour cost per project while the project is still open.
Site managers and foremen
Anyone who needs to know who turned up this morning without chasing signatures on a sheet.
Payroll and admin
Anyone preparing payroll who needs hours to arrive already approved rather than chased over email.
Subcontractors
Anyone who has to show a client how many people and how many hours were genuinely on site.
Why leave the signature sheet behind
There is nothing wrong with a signature sheet. The problem is that the information stays inside it, and it is needed elsewhere.
-
Every hour is already tied to a project, so cost per project exists from day one.
-
Location answers "were they actually there" without anyone having to ask.
-
Anomalies surface the same day, not at month end when nobody remembers.
-
It works without signal: the clock-in waits on the phone and syncs later.
-
Those same hours feed the daily reports, so nobody writes them twice.
Frequently asked questions
Is location tracked continuously?
No. Location is read only at the moment of clocking in and out. Tabiquo does not follow movement during the day and records nothing outside those two moments.
What happens if someone clocks in away from the site?
The entry is still recorded, and flagged as off-site. It is not rejected: there is almost always an explanation, and a supervisor reviews and signs it off. Rejecting it would only create unrecorded hours.
Do we need company phones?
No, the app runs on the worker's own phone, on iPhone and Android. Anyone without a smartphone can be clocked in by the foreman using crew clock-in.
Is GPS mandatory?
No. It is a setting you can leave off, or turn on only for certain projects. Without coordinates for a project the clock-in is still valid and is simply flagged as unverifiable.
