Biometric time tracking built for hyperscale jobsites. Know exactly who is on site, what they are working on, and where every labor hour goes — across every trade partner, phase, and shift.
Data center schedules leave no room for labor surprises. SmartBarrel replaces paper timecards and foreman time entry with biometric punches at the gate, so accurate hours flow straight to payroll and job cost — even with thousands of workers on site.
Accurate hours, rounding rules, breaks, and overtime populate automatically as crews clock in and out — across every building, level, and phase of the campus.
Deploy across pads and laydown yards in minutes. Solar or battery-powered, weatherproof, magnetic-mount hardware with built-in LTE. No IT, no electrician, no site power required.
Track direct employees, temp labor, and hourly subs across electrical, mechanical, and civil scopes — high-volume clock-ins without bottlenecking the gate.
Verified time and cost codes flow directly to Procore, CMiC, Viewpoint, Plexxis, Foundation and your payroll system — the same project controls stack you already run.
Stop fixing time after the fact. SmartBarrel verifies every punch with biometric facial verification the moment it happens, so your timesheets are payroll-ready and your manpower reports reflect who was actually on site — not who was supposed to be.
SmartBarrel’s construction time and attendance software is built for the field. So simple to use, even your most tech-resistant worker picks it up on the first try.
Connect verified labor hours, cost codes, and daily production quantities in one workflow. Assign pre-planned cost codes by scope, building, or level, and see exactly where labor is burning ahead of estimate — while there is still time to act.
When time is captured accurately at the source, payroll problems stop.
SmartBarrel integrates with virtually any construction software on the market, including:

“With SmartBarrel, we've reached a 90% approval rate for time tracking, a massive improvement from our previous methods. This level of accuracy and speed in approvals has greatly reduced our administrative burden and resulted in significant savings”
PROJECT EXECUTIVE

“Payroll processing only takes me two hours per week at most. Before SmartBarrel, I used to spend an extra 12 hours since manual time entry always had discrepancies. We've cut payroll errors by 20% to 30% because I was manually entering time before, and now I just review one file.”

“SmartBarrel’s implementation and rollout went incredibly smoothly. One of the biggest wins was how easy it was to train our field employees, even those who aren’t very comfortable with technology. The system is easy-to-use and has helped improve accuracy and accountability.”
STRATEGIC BUSINESS ANALYST
COMPLETE MECHANICAL SERVICES LLC.
“It takes foremen 5 to 10 minutes to approve time at the end of the day or the next morning. As a result, payroll is no longer a fire drill. We’re not having to do double runs of payroll on Friday anymore. That in itself is amazing.”
DIRECTOR, TALENT & REGIONAL HR
JENCO, INC.
“We had over 1000 workers but no standardized system for time capture. With SmartBarrel, we now have complete visibility, even for projects hundreds of miles away. We can see who is onsite, what cost codes were performed, all in real time. We can then convey this information to clients and it settles disputes before they arise.”
DIRECTOR OF PROJECT CONTROLS

“SmartBarrel is super straightforward, even for large crews spread across multiple sites. It streamlines the entire payroll process, significantly reduced administrative headaches, and syncs with our existing project management software. It's truly a construction manager's best friend!”
IT INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEER

“Paper timesheets were a huge time suck and we had over 700 workers submitting them every week. To fix this, we needed a hardware solution for jobsites. SmartBarrel transformed timekeeping from a foreman’s responsibility to the employee’s. Now, we get hours that are always accurate – upfront. It gives us reliable data to make better decisions.”

SmartBarrel is built for high-volume jobsites. Workers punch in on rugged biometric time clocks or the mobile app in seconds, and every punch is verified with facial verification. Supervisors see real-time headcount by contractor, trade, and location in one dashboard, so manpower reporting across dozens of trade partners stops being a spreadsheet exercise.
Yes. SmartBarrel complements existing site security. Geofence rules ensure workers can only clock in on site, biometric verification confirms the person punching is who they say they are, and site access reports give owners and GCs a verified record of who was on site and when.
Same day. The portable time clocks are solar or battery powered with built-in LTE, magnetic-mount, and weatherproof — no site power, network drops, or IT involvement required. Move them between pads, gates, and laydown areas as the project evolves.
Yes. Crews or foremen assign cost codes at punch-in or during the shift, and verified hours roll up by building, level, scope, or phase. Production quantities can be logged against the same codes, giving you real-time earned-vs-burned visibility across the campus.
SmartBarrel integrates with Procore, CMiC, Viewpoint, Plexxis, Foundation, Sage, ComputerEase, QuickBooks and more — plus an API for custom stacks. Verified time and cost codes flow to the systems your PMs and payroll teams already use.
