Summary

A 30-year-old Australian roofing contractor company with 22 employees was losing margin because crews routinely “rounded up” their timesheets—reporting 8 hours when they had actually worked 7 hours and 15 minutes.

Over time, these small overstatements eroded profits and strained trust between management and crews. With Swift Checkin’s GPS-verified check-ins and automated timesheets, the company established a transparent, accountable system that ensured workers were paid fairly for every minute worked while protecting the business from silent margin losses.
