Mobile Clock In and Out
Workers clock in and out from their own mobile phone using the Syncro Connect app. No fixed terminal needed. Works on any smartphone, requires no specialist hardware and takes seconds per worker.
Multi-Site Tracking
Running multiple sites at once? Syncro Connect tracks which site each worker is clocked into in real time. Move workers between sites and their time data moves with them. No gaps, no duplicated records.
Subcontractor and Mixed Workforce Management
Track directly employed staff and subcontractors in the same system. Set different rules for different worker types, track hours against specific jobs or cost codes and keep a clean audit trail for every individual on site.
Real-Time Visibility for Site Managers
Site managers and office staff see who is on site, who is absent and who has not clocked in — live, from any device. No waiting for timesheets to come in at the end of the week.
Payroll-Ready Data Export
Hours worked flow directly into your Sage, Pegasus or QuickBooks payroll integration at the end of each period. No manual re-keying, no spreadsheet reconciliation, no payroll errors caused by illegible timesheets.
Working Time Regulations Compliance
Computime automatically tracks hours against Working Time Regulations limits, flags overtime and keeps a complete audit trail for every worker. If you are ever inspected, your records are accurate, complete and ready to produce.
Construction businesses face time tracking challenges that office-based businesses simply do not. Your workforce is split across multiple sites. You have a mix of directly employed staff, subcontractors and day workers. Sites change regularly. Workers arrive early, leave late or move between locations in a single day. And at the end of the week, someone has to piece it all together from a stack of paper timesheets, half of which are illegible, late or just missing.
The knock-on effects are significant. Payroll takes longer than it should. Disputes arise over hours worked. Labour costs per project are impossible to track accurately. And if you are ever audited for Working Time Regulations compliance, those crumpled timesheets are not going to hold up.
Computime Syncro Connect is built for exactly this environment. It tracks time and attendance for construction workers wherever they are on site, on the move or across multiple locations and feeds that data directly into your payroll and HR system without any manual re-keying.
Step 1
Workers clock in from their phone
When a worker arrives on site they open the Syncro Connect app and clock in. The system logs their location, the time and which site they are working on. No supervisor needed, no paper to fill in, no terminal to queue at.
Step 2
You see everything in real time
From the moment workers start clocking in, site managers and office staff have a live view of who is on site across every location. Late arrivals, missing clock-outs and unexpected absences are flagged immediately rather than discovered at the end of the week.
Step 3
Payroll is done in minutes
At the end of each pay period, all hours are reconciled automatically. Data flows straight into your payroll system — Sage, Pegasus or QuickBooks — with no manual entry required. What used to take half a day takes minutes.
Getting started with Computime is straightforward. There is no complex infrastructure to install, no lengthy onboarding and no specialist training required. Here is how it works in practice.
Computime works across every level of a construction business from the business owner looking at labour costs to the site manager tracking who has turned up this morning.

Most time tracking software is built for offices. Computime Syncro Connect is different. It is designed around the way construction businesses actually operate mobile workers, multiple sites, mixed workforces and payroll systems that need accurate data fast.
There is no expensive hardware to install on every site. There is no complex setup that takes weeks to get running. And there is no separate HR or payroll tool to bolt on afterwards Syncro Connect is part of the same Realtime platform that handles your absence management, HR records and payroll integration.
