How It Works

From Setup To Payroll Export In Four Steps

Four steps: configure, assign, verify, export. No months-long setup. No consultant required. Just a tighter field operation starting week one.

Step 01
Performed by: Admin

Create Staff, Customers, Projects, and Site Rules

Open the web admin console and build your operational foundation. Add your workforce, create customers and projects, draw geofence boundaries, and set site-specific rules. Everything downstream depends on getting this right.

What happens in this step
  • Add staff records with roles and contact details
  • Configure customers and create linked projects
  • Set up geofence rules per project site
  • Define attendance policies and working schedules
  • Configure leave types and holiday calendars

Assign Workers to Projects and Configure Attendance Policies

Link workers to specific projects and supervisors. Set overtime thresholds, break requirements, shift hours, and validation rules before anyone goes live. Your policies drive the records — get them right here.

What happens in this step
  • Assign workers to customers and projects
  • Set supervisor-level access and visibility
  • Configure overtime and break policy rules
  • Set attendance validation requirements per site
  • Confirm roles and permissions across the team

Staff Check In from Mobile Using Location and Selfie Validation

Workers use the CrewForce360 mobile app to check in and out. GPS location is recorded, geofence rules are applied, and a selfie is captured for identity verification. Breaks are tracked from the same interface.

What happens in this step
  • Mobile check-in with GPS location capture
  • Geofence validation on check-in
  • Selfie capture for identity confirmation
  • Break start and end tracking
  • Check-out with attendance record finalization

Managers Review Attendance, Leave, Exceptions, and Payroll Export Data

Admins and supervisors review the full attendance record. Flag exceptions, process correction requests, approve leave, and finalize records. Once clean, export structured attendance data directly to payroll.

What happens in this step
  • Review real-time attendance monitoring dashboard
  • Process exception and correction requests
  • Approve or reject leave requests
  • Apply policy rules and finalize records
  • Export structured attendance data for payroll

FAQ

Common Questions

How long does setup take?

Setup is designed for days, not months. Configure sites, projects, and crews, then start verifying attendance without a long implementation project.

Do workers need to install an app?

Workers use a mobile app for check-in. For high-turnover or temporary crews, a web-based check-in flow is also available so there is no app-store install required.

What happens if a worker checks in outside the geofence?

Out-of-geofence check-ins are flagged for supervisor review. You can configure whether to block them outright or allow them with a reason captured for audit.

How do attendance records flow into payroll?

Approved hours export cleanly to payroll and accounting systems via standard formats. Custom integrations to specific payroll providers are available on higher plans.

Can supervisors approve hours from the field?

Yes. Supervisors can approve, reject, or correct hours from a mobile device. No need to wait until they are back at a desk.
