Time Attendance System for Construction Companies in the UAE

Worker attendance, labour camps and canteens, from one Dubai team

Construction companies in the UAE have hundreds or thousands of workers spread across many sites, labour camps and shifts. Paper registers and cheap fingerprint machines lead to buddy punching, wrong overtime and long hours of payroll corrections every month.

The Sprinter time attendance system for construction records every worker's attendance with rugged face recognition and fingerprint machines, even on sites with no electricity or network. Hours from all sites go into one system, and correct working hours and overtime go to your HR, payroll or ERP.

Construction workers are constantly on the go, working at different sites with varying work hours and environments, making it difficult to track time and attendance. NexGen Technologies accommodates the requirement of construction site work force’s clocking in and out easy by offering the handheld SPRINTER SPM500 fingerprint time and attendance system.

The device is enclosed in a rugged case, that is waterproof, dustproof and shockproof. The Handheld SPM 500 has a handle and can be taken to any job site, without the requiring electrical and network connections. The time and attendance data can be stored on a USB and be exported to Sprinter Web Base Software. There is also an option for WiFi, allowing the data to transfer automatically. Regardless of the condition a workplace, we provide the best time and attendance.

Construction attendance problems we solve

Buddy punching

Face and fingerprint machines make sure each worker punches for themselves. No more paying for hours nobody worked.

No network or power on site

4G machines, handheld devices and the mobile attendance app with geofence work on new sites before any cabling is done.

Dust, heat and dirty hands

IP65 outdoor machines and touchless face recognition keep working in UAE site conditions.

Labour camps and canteens

Camp management and canteen management track rooms, meals and workers in the same system.

Payroll without Excel

Correct hours and overtime go straight to your HRMS, payroll or ERP, so month end takes hours, not days.

Construction attendance: frequently asked questions

What is the best attendance machine for a construction site?

For outdoor sites we recommend the SPRINTER FR40 or FR30, which are IP65 rated against water and dust. For sites without a network cable, the FR10M 4G has built-in 4G. For sites without power, the handheld SPM500 runs on its own and can be carried to any location.

Why is face recognition better than fingerprint on construction sites?

Construction workers often have dirty, wet or worn fingers, which fingerprint scanners cannot read. Face recognition is touchless and fast, and models like the FR30 can recognise several workers at the same time at busy site gates.

How do you stop buddy punching on site?

Biometric machines identify the worker by face or fingerprint, so no one can punch in for someone else with a card or PIN. Every record shows the site, machine and time.

Can we see attendance from all our sites in one place?

Yes. All machines send data to the Sprinter software over LAN, WiFi or 4G. Head office sees live attendance, absences and overtime for every site and project.

Can the system manage labour camps and canteens?

Yes. Sprinter camp management tracks camps, rooms and worker assignments, and canteen management controls meals for each worker.

Does Sprinter connect with our payroll or ERP?

Yes. Sprinter sends correct working hours and overtime to SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and other HR, payroll and ERP systems, so payroll is ready without Excel corrections.
