With Intempus and Keatech does Klar Byg get a better basis for tracking employee hours, vehicle movements and work at individual addresses.
When employees and company vehicles move between construction sites, customers and various tasks during the day, precise data is essential. At KLAR-BYG, Intempus is used for time tracking, while Keatech provides GPS-based data on the company's vehicles. The integration makes it possible to compare the information and create a more nuanced overview of the working day.
“When hours and GPS data are linked, we get a more accurate picture of the working day and a better basis for following up on our projects.” – Allan Bruhn, Director at KLAR-BYG ApS
A working day with many addresses
KLAR-BYG undertakes tasks within renovation, new builds and civil engineering, among other things. This means that employees do not necessarily report to the same location every day. They drive out to various projects, and both working hours and transport are a natural part of daily operations.
In a working day like that, time tracking needs to be easy for the employees while at the same time giving management a useful basis for follow-up. Intempus brings together the employees' logs, while the GPS devices from Keatech show where the company's vehicles have been during the day.
“We have employees on various tasks and addresses, so it’s important that the registration is simple out in the field, and that we can subsequently get a quick overview,” says Allan Bruhn, director of KLAR-BYG ApS
Timers and GPS data support each other
With the integration, KLAR-BYG can compare employees' reported working hours with the vehicles' GPS data. If any questions arise regarding when a vehicle arrived at or left an address, this information is available as a supplement to the time tracking.
It provides a better basis for detecting any discrepancies and following up while the incident is still fresh in the memory. At the same time, it makes it easier to document that an employee or a vehicle has been at a specific address during a given time period.
“It isn't about control for the sake of control. It's about having a proper data foundation so we can resolve queries quickly and ensure that our records are accurate,” elaborates Allan Bruhn.
Better documentation for customers
In the construction industry, questions can arise regarding the work carried out, the time spent or the time of a visit. Here, the combination of time tracking and GPS data can provide KLAR-BYG with a stronger basis for documentation. Instead of relying on memory or isolated pieces of information, the company can base its approach on recorded data from the working day.
It creates greater internal transparency and makes it easier to have a fact-based dialogue with the customer if anything needs to be clarified. For KLAR-BYG, this means that follow-up can take place more quickly and on a more secure basis.
Digital tools must work in practice
For a busy construction company, the value of digital systems is greatest when they support the workflows that already exist. Employees log their time in Intempus, and vehicle data is collected via Keatech. Combining the two gives management access to more relevant information without making the logging process itself any more complicated for the employees.
“For us, the most important thing is that the systems are easy to use and provide value in daily operations. The combination of Intempus and Keatech gives us a unified foundation that we can build upon.” – Allan Bruhn.
A better overview of the working day
By using Intempus and Keatech, KLAR-BYG has brought together two key data sources in the company's operations: employee working hours and vehicle movements. This provides better opportunities to follow up on logs, document the work and create transparency across projects and addresses.
