Biometric time tracking for industrial and energy projects. Eliminate buddy punching, manual timesheets, and payroll disputes across plants, refineries, solar farms, and remote heavy-industrial sites.
Industrial sites do not wait on paperwork. SmartBarrel replaces paper timecards and foreman time entry with verified biometric punches — on sites with no power, no Wi-Fi, and crews spread across acres.
Accurate hours, rounding rules, breaks, overtime, and doubletime populate automatically as crews clock in and out — including rotating shifts and night turnarounds.
Solar or battery-powered hardware with built-in LTE. Weatherproof and magnetic-mount — built for laydown yards, plant gates, and remote sites with no infrastructure.
Track direct crews, temp labor, and hourly subs across capital projects, maintenance contracts, and turnarounds — union and open shop alike.
Verified time and cost codes flow directly to Procore, CMiC, Viewpoint, Foundation, Sage and your payroll system. Per diem and expenses ride along with the same records.
Stop fixing time after the fact. SmartBarrel verifies every punch the moment it happens — with facial verification and geofencing — so timesheets are payroll-ready and your daily manpower numbers reflect reality on the ground.
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. Layer in per diem, mileage, and truck allowances so the full cost of every crew, unit, and work order is visible in real time.
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

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”
