Why teams switch to Temporra

UK construction firms lose an average of £1,200 per employee per year to timesheet fraud, manual errors and admin overhead. Temporra eliminates all three: exact clock-in/out times, GPS proof of location, facial-recognition proof of identity (stops buddy punching), one-click payroll export, live job costing, and digital leave and permit management.

Features

• Clock In / Out — one-tap clock-in via mobile app or shared on-site tablet kiosk, with real-time visibility of who's working and where.
• Facial Recognition — biometric identity verification on clock-in eliminates buddy punching and time fraud.
• GPS Geofencing — verifies employees are at the correct job site before allowing a clock-in.
• Shift Scheduling — plan weekly rosters, assign shifts per employee and copy entire weeks.
• Automated Payroll — regular hours, overtime and gross pay calculated automatically and exported to CSV.
• Auto-generated Invoices — workers submit invoices built automatically from their clocked hours for admin approval.
• Digital Permits — request and issue permits (ladder, working at height, hot work, confined space) and show them on demand.
• Job Costing & Reports — track labour cost against project budgets in real time.
• Kiosk Mode — a shared on-site tablet with PIN access for teams without their own devices.
• Document Management — store CSCS cards, certificates and contracts with expiry alerts.
• Live Map & Attendance Calendar — see your workforce on a map and attendance patterns at a glance.
• Leave Management — digital annual, sick and compassionate leave requests with approval workflow.

2. Set up job sites — add projects with locations and budgets; GPS geofences are created automatically.

Frequently asked questions

How does GPS geofencing work with Temporra?

Temporra uses your device's GPS to verify that employees clock in and out at the correct job site. You set a geofence radius (e.g. 200 metres) around each site, and the system flags clock-ins from outside that zone.

Is Temporra suitable for small construction businesses?

Yes — it scales from sole traders with a few workers to enterprises with hundreds of employees across multiple sites.

How does facial recognition prevent buddy punching?

An admin registers each employee's face. On clock-in, Temporra compares a live capture against the registered facial signature to confirm identity, so no one can clock in for someone else.

Can I export timesheets to my payroll software?

Yes — payroll-ready CSV exports with regular hours, overtime and gross pay, plus invoices auto-generated from clocked hours.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — a full-featured 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
