Every morning at a construction site, one small task has to happen before work properly begins: labour attendance . For many contractors, the process is still simple. A supervisor opens a register, calls out worker names and marks who is present, absent or working a half-day. This method has worked for years. The problem starts when a construction company grows.

Traditionally, construction companies have relied on risk registers, periodic reviews, and mitigation plans to manage these challenges. However, the construction landscape has changed significantly.
