Make Data-Driven Decisions with Real-Time Construction Productivity Data
With SmartBarrel construction productivity tracking software, construction crews gain complete visibility into daily production and labor costs, all from a single, field-first platform that delivers real-time insights across all construction projects.
100% accurate labor data for informed decisions.
AI-powered facial verification confirms who clocked in, when, and for how long, eliminating buddy punching with audit-ready accuracy. No setup or photoshoot required. Workers simply clock in once, and SmartBarrel verifies each entry by matching the photo to recent clock-ins, ensuring security and data integrity.
Quick and easy cost code tracking.
SmartBarrel starts with accurate, verified labor hours. Then, foremen assign cost codes in minutes. Cost codes are automatically pulled from your construction management system and repopulated from the previous day. Hours and installed quantities stay tied to the correct phase.
Real-time insights that drive more profitable projects.
Compare daily output against budgeted quantities and labor estimates as work happens. See earned hours vs. burned hours. Track productivity levels before they become budget problems.
Prevent Labor Overrun Surprises
End-of-week productivity tracking is too late. Hours get entered after the fact, cost codes are guessed, and overruns only show up once the labor is already burned. SmartBarrel keeps labor and production tracking accurate and up to date every day with reliable data collection:
- Workers clock in with biometric facial verification
- Foremen assign repopulated cost codes in minutes
- Installed quantities stay linked to the correct phase automatically
- Productivity updates in real time
- Data syncs back into your job costing and ERP systems
How SmartBarrel Productivity Tracking Works
SmartBarrel connects verified labor hours, cost codes, and daily production quantities in one simple workflow. The result is real-time productivity tracking that stays accurate every day.
Start with verified labor hours.
Workers clock in and out with AI-powered facial verification, eliminating buddy punching and giving you labor hours you can trust. Every entry is validated automatically, creating an audit-ready foundation for productivity tracking.
Assign pre-populated cost codes in minutes.
Foremen assign cost codes through a quick daily workflow. SmartBarrel pulls cost codes from your project setup and repopulates yesterday’s selections first, so tracking stays fast and consistent without digging through long lists. Hours stay tied to the correct phase automatically.
Log installed quantities by cost code.
Foremen log daily production quantities alongside labor hours, such as linear feet, sheets, or cubic yards. Quantities are entered in seconds and linked directly to the correct cost code, giving you true productivity measurement, not just time spent.
See construction productivity insights instantly.
Get real-time insights and automated insights: budgeted vs. actual hours, quantities installed vs. planned, productivity output per crew, earned hours vs. burned hours. Track project progress and identify potential delays while there’s still time to adjust resources and crews.

Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Productivity Software
In construction industry, time tracking captures hours worked. Production tracking captures the units installed with those hours – linear feet of conduit, sheets of drywall, cubic yards of concrete – so you can measure true productivity levels, not just time spent. SmartBarrel combines both: verified hours automatically linked to installed quantities, cost codes, and completed work.
SmartBarrel shows installed units against planned quantities daily, helping project managers spot pace drops and potential delays before they escalate into budget problems. Real-time insights mean you see variance as it happens, enabling data-driven decisions, better resource allocation, improved schedule management, and collaboration between office and field teams for better project outcomes.
Construction productivity software reduces manual data entry, reduces cost-code errors, and provides real-time visibility into labor and production across construction projects. SmartBarrel saves 16+ hours per week on administrative tasks and 800+ hours annually, streamlining reports and workflows. Foremen review pre-populated timesheets in seconds instead of recreating them. Accurate data flows automatically to your ERP, eliminating transcription errors and improving financial management with centralized access and control.
The biggest challenge in the construction industry is field adoption. Most construction productivity tracking tools fail because crews do not clock in consistently, hours get entered late, and foremen are left guessing at cost codes and production after the fact. When tracking feels time-consuming, it only gets updated once or twice a week, which leads to inaccurate data and missed overruns.
SmartBarrel solves this with a simple daily workflow built on verified labor hours. Workers clock in with facial verification on a device or mobile app, foremen assign repopulated cost codes pulled from the project setup, and installed quantities are logged in minutes. When hours, cost codes, and production stay connected every day, productivity tracking becomes accurate, usable, and actionable.
By identifying pace drops and variances early with real-time insights, you can reallocate construction workers, address issues before they compound, and prevent rework, all before budget problems arise. Real-time visibility means you make data-driven decisions and spot potential delays while there’s still time to course-correct, protecting project outcomes and delivering more profitable projects.
Construction productivity tracking app should include verified time tracking with biometric facial verification, daily cost-code assignment from the field, production quantity logging, real-time productivity metrics (budgeted vs. actual), and automatic ERP integration. SmartBarrel combines all these in one field-first platform that works in actual construction site conditions and allows for flexible time entry options.
