How Time Tracking Works

Simple, mobile-first time recording designed for construction sites, not office workers.

Minute-Accurate Recording

Workers clock in and out on their smartphone with exact timestamp. System stores every clock event permanently with GPS location optional.

Crew/Party Booking

Site foreman clocks in once but adds crew members. One person records for the whole team. Avoids confusion and saves time on multi-person teams.

Flexible Recording Options

Clock in/out for real-time tracking, or free-entry for retroactive logging. Both methods create audit trails. Workers choose what works for them.

Multi-Level Review & Approval

Recording errors happen — and they need to be correctable. IMS provides a structured review and approval workflow: workers submit, supervisors review, managers approve. Corrections are always possible, but every change is logged with who, what, when, and why. Data quality without rigidity.

Automatic Allowance Calculation

Meal breaks, travel time, on-call allowances — configure once. System calculates automatically. No manual entry, no disputes.

Absence Management

Sick days, vacation, unpaid leave — log absences in the app. Stays in sync with timesheet data. Managers see full picture instantly.

Multiple Job Booking Per Day

Worker splits time between two projects? Clock out of Job A and into Job B. System tracks hours per job automatically. Perfect for multi-site days.

Export to Payroll Systems

One-click export to your payroll software (Sage, SAP, QuickBooks, etc.). Hours, allowances, and absences flow automatically. Payroll dept saves hours weekly.

Why Accurate Time Tracking Matters

Eliminate Timesheet Disputes

Digital clock timestamps are undeniable. No more "he said, she said" about hours worked. Workers trust the system, managers have proof.

Faster Payroll Processing

Data flows directly from site app to payroll software. Payroll team stops manually re-entering hours. Saves hours per week, eliminates entry errors.

Real-Time Cost Control

See labour costs accumulating by job in real-time. Spot overruns early. Adjust staffing before a project drifts into loss.

Transparent, Not Rigid

A common concern: "What if we can't correct entries?" With IMS, you can. Our multi-level approval process ensures data quality while keeping things practical — corrections happen through a clear submit-review-approve workflow with full audit trail. Digital doesn't mean inflexible.

Prevent Timesheet Fraud

Digital timestamps with location data prevent phantom hours. Workers know they're being monitored fairly. Managers prevent buddy-punching and ghost workers.

Labour Shortage Visibility

Malta faces construction labour shortages. Accurate time data reveals productivity patterns. Identify bottlenecks and allocate crews more efficiently.
