Construction Sites

Q: Does it work with dirty or gloved hands?

Yes. Contactless fingerphoto captures a print from a phone camera, and face recognition needs no contact at all — both suit dusty construction environments better than contact sensors.

Q: What about sites with no network?

On-site edge engines and the mobile apps queue punches offline and sync automatically once connectivity returns, so no attendance is lost.

Q: Can we separate contractors from our own staff?

Yes. Users are tagged per employer/crew, so contractor and subcontractor headcounts are reported separately for labour-law and billing.

Q: Can crews check in from their phones?

Yes — the Field Staff app supports manual or geofenced IN/OUT, so dispersed crews mark attendance without a fixed terminal.

Track attendance on dispersed, dusty construction sites — contactless fingerphoto and face recognition that work even with gloved or dirty hands, plus geofenced phone check-in for crews on the move.

The challenge

What makes Construction Sites hard

Dispersed, temporary sites with no fixed terminal or network
Dust, water and gloves defeat contact fingerprint readers
Labour-law headcount and contractor / subcontractor split
Safety-induction gate must pass before site entry
Daily wage reconciliation across many crews

How Cams solves it

The right modality for the job

Roaming crews check in from their phone with a geofence (Field Staff). Contactless fingerphoto (ThumbsUp) reads prints even with dirty or gloved hands, face recognition (FaceUp or a tablet) runs the gate, and CatchCam puts recognition on existing site CCTV. Offline edge engines queue punches where there is no network and sync when connectivity returns — all feeding your ERP and payroll through the API.

Integration. Geofenced phone punches and on-site face/fingerprint events flow to your ERP/payroll over REST or Hybrid Push. Split contractor vs. direct labour, and consolidate every site into one dashboard.
