Attendance and check-in on site in real time

Knowing exactly who is on site right now is essential for both safety and planning. With attendance and check-in in ByggExp, your team members check in on site and you get a single, real-time overview — a clear record for the staff ledger and for you as the site manager. No more uncertainty about who's there.

What are attendance and check-in?

Attendance means that each team member marks that they are on the job site by checking in through the app. Check-in is confirmed by GPS position so the overview is accurate, and when the day is over they check out. As a site manager, you get a live picture of who is on site.

How to do it in the web admin

  1. Add your team members to the project so they get access to the site.
  2. Open Overview and see who is at work right now and on which project.
  3. Download the check-ins and check-outs as a staff ledger PDF when you need them.

How to do it in the app

  1. The team member opens the app on arrival and taps Check in – GPS confirms the job site.
  2. When the workday is over, everyone checks out in the app.

Frequently asked questions

Is attendance different from time reporting?

Attendance shows who is on site right now, while time reporting adds up the hours — but the check-in feeds both.

Does it work as a basis for the staff ledger?

Yes. Check-ins and check-outs per person can be downloaded as a staff ledger PDF.
