Industry Use Case: Construction

Construction crews move constantly between job sites, making traditional manual time tracking difficult and error-prone for HR managers and project supervisors.  With Fareclock, workers can simply clock in on-site with a quick face scan using their mobile device or a shared kiosk. The system will instantly validate their identity and location, eliminating disputes, preventing unauthorized clock-ins, and ensuring accurate job costing for labor reports.
