Industry Context
The Market Challenge
Workforce management in contractor-heavy industries remains plagued by manual processes, inaccurate time reporting, and administrative overhead—yet traditional time tracking systems often fail to provide the location verification and automation required for distributed workforces.
Manual Time Entry
Paper timesheets and honor-system reporting create opportunities for inaccuracy and disputes.
Location Verification Gaps
Traditional systems cannot confirm contractors are physically present at assigned sites.
Invoice Processing Burden
Manual invoice creation and approval workflows consume significant administrative resources.
Multi-Site Complexity
Managing contractors across multiple locations with different timezones increases operational complexity.
Payroll Accuracy Issues
Break calculations and shift overlap errors lead to payroll disputes and compliance risks.
Market Opportunity
Develop a platform that automates time tracking while ensuring location accuracy and workflow efficiency.
