A fit-out company managing 20+ subcontractors relied on Excel sheets, emails, and online calendars to track hours. The process was slow, error-prone, and impossible to verify. Subcontractors were invoiced for hundreds of hours, but actual progress didn’t align. With no hard proof, the CFO had to approve payments — even when rework later erased margins.

Swift Checkin replaced the manual workflow with GPS-verified check-ins, automated reporting, and live site visibility, cutting disputes, reducing overbilling by 15%, and giving back hours of admin time every pay cycle.
