How It Works

How Truein Works

01
Set up the site
Add the site, draw the geofence, install the tablet.
02
Enrol the crew once
Workers self-register with one selfie, or HR uploads details in bulk.
03
Get verified attendance
Every punch compiles into muster and payroll-ready reports.
Flexible Clock-In Modes

Do Your Workers Carry Smartphones?

Many site crews do not. Truein works three ways so every worker is covered.

Shared tablet kiosk
One tablet at the site gate covers the whole crew.
Worker's own phone
Staff punch in from their own Android or iOS device.
Supervisor-assisted
A supervisor clocks the crew in from a single device.
No dedicated hardware to buy. Any Android or iOS device works.

Track Every Hour with Confidence

Upgrade your time and attendance with face and GPS-verified clock-ins and job-level tracking for accurate billing, compliance, and real-time site visibility.

Face recognition stops workers punching in for each other

Every punch is matched against the worker's enrolled face before it is accepted
Works with hard hats, masks, facial hair and changed hairstyles, at around 95 to 100 percent accuracy
Only the right worker can punch in.

Offline punches keep working with no connectivity

Punches are stored on the device and sync automatically when the network returns

Every offline record is marked, so supervisors see what synced and what is pending

No attendance gaps at remote, basement, or desert sites.

GPS geofencing restricts punches to each job site

Set a geofence per site, per floor or per zone, from a 20 metre minimum radius
Out-of-boundary punches can be blocked, flagged or sent for approval
Attendance is tied to the real site. No off-location punches.

Live headcount by site, shift, agency and worker category, with offline punches appearing once they sync
70+ configurable policies for overtime, breaks, weekly off and Ramadan hours
One view of the workforce. No site-by-site chasing.

Every manpower agency tracked separately under one account

Set headcount caps per agency and scope each supervisor to their own crew
Track agency-wise attendance and hours, document expiry and site mapping from one dashboard
Agency hours verified before you approve the invoice.

Muster and payroll-ready reports for every site

Site-wise and agency-wise muster reports, with overtime and weekly-off rules already applied

Which setup fits your site?

Workforce Sites Typical setup What you get
100 to 200 1 to 3 Shared tablet kiosk at each gate Face verification, site geofence, daily muster report
200 to 1,000 3 to 15 Kiosks plus supervisor-assisted punch-in Agency-wise headcount, overtime and weekly-off rules
1,000 to 10,000 15+ sites and camps Gate kiosks, personal phones for staff and engineers Multi-agency caps, site-wise reporting, payroll integration
10,000+ Single mega project or portfolio Multiple gate kiosks per site, zone-level geofences Zone headcount, offline capture, API payroll sync

Paper muster rolls cost more than you think

Gate registers, WhatsApp photos and Excel sheets create gaps that surface in every payroll run.

Current method With Truein
Workers sign each other in. No way to verify who reached site Face verified at every punch. Only the enrolled worker can punch
Muster rolls compiled by hand. Hours lost to errors and disputes Site-wise muster generated automatically. No retyping, no rework
Agency invoices taken on trust. Headcount checked after the fact Agency-wise hours verified daily. Confirmed before you approve the invoice
Attendance registers filled at the end of the day. Hours recalled, not recorded Every punch timestamped at capture. Recorded the moment it happens
No signal, no attendance. Timesheets guessed at remote sites Offline capture with auto-sync. No lost records
No visibility until someone calls. Understaffing caught too late Live dashboard across sites and camps. One screen for every site

Teams switching to Truein report fewer payroll corrections and full site visibility.

Already running fingerprint or IR terminals?

Fingerprint readers depend on clean, dry hands, which is a limitation of the capture method rather than of your setup. Truein adds face verification on standard Android and iOS tablets so you can deploy it without replacing the hardware you already have.

Integrations

Truein integrates with payroll and HRMS platforms including SAP and enterprise in-house systems via API for real-time sync, or FTP for batch workflows, keeping staff additions, updates, and deactivations synchronized. Attendance and overtime export in configurable, payroll-ready formats, so finance teams process every cycle from verified data instead of chasing corrections. Truein is not payroll software; it feeds your payroll system clean data.

Built for construction across the GCC

Truein supports construction sites across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. Policies cover the Saturday and Sunday weekend in the UAE, the Friday rest day observed elsewhere in the GCC, Ramadan reduced hours, and country overtime rules.

Verified headcount by site, agency, and worker category supports accurate reporting that feeds into Emiratisation and Nitaqat requirements. The same records support contract labour compliance and give your team a verified attendance history for every worker and every agency.

What is a construction site attendance system?

A construction site attendance system records and verifies when workers arrive at and leave a job site, then converts those records into hours for payroll. On construction projects, it has to work across multiple temporary sites, cover agency staff from several manpower agencies, and keep recording when there is no network on site. For contract workforces beyond construction, see Truein's contract labour attendance system.

How does geofencing work on a construction site?

Geofencing draws a GPS boundary around each site so a punch only counts inside it. On construction projects the boundary is set per site, per floor or per zone, which matters for tower cores, basements, plots with unusual shapes and labour camps kept separate from the work front. Truein supports a minimum configurable radius of 20 metres, and out-of-boundary punches can be blocked, flagged or routed for supervisor approval depending on your setup.

How does site attendance feed into WPS payroll?

Truein verifies the hours. Your payroll system files the wages. Attendance is captured with face verification and geofencing, compiled into site-wise and agency-wise reports, and exported to your payroll or HRMS so your team can process payroll under the Wage Protection System. Truein is not payroll software and does not generate the SIF file itself.
