Presence and Check-in on the Jobsite in Real Time

Knowing exactly who is on the jobsite right now is critical for both safety and planning. With presence and check-in in ByggExp your crew checks in on site and you get a complete real-time overview — a clear basis for the staff ledger and for you as foreman. No more uncertainty about who is there.

What is presence and check-in?

Presence means each worker marks that they are at the workplace by checking in through the app. The check-in is confirmed by GPS position so the overview is accurate, and at the end of the day they check out. As foreman you get a live picture of who is on the jobsite.

Getting started — step by step

  1. Add the crew members to the project in the web admin so they get access to the site.
  2. The worker opens the ByggExp app on arrival and taps Check in.
  3. GPS confirms the check-in happens at the workplace and presence is registered.
  4. As foreman you open the attendance overview in the web admin and see who is on site in real time.
  5. At the end of the day everyone checks out in the app.
  6. Use the overview as a basis for the staff ledger and for follow-up.

Frequently asked questions

Is presence different from time tracking?

Presence shows who is on site right now, while time tracking sums the hours — but the same check-in feeds both.

Does it work as a basis for the staff ledger?

Yes. The attendance overview gives you clear check-ins and check-outs per person that you can use as a basis.
