The problem

Site data that arrives too late

Hours sit in WhatsApp messages, crew schedules via phone calls and job costing spreadsheets, so the real numbers only show up at payroll or at the progress claim, after hours of tedious manual admin. By then, the profit on the job is already gone.

Hours in WhatsApp

Crew hours arrive as messages and photos, if they arrive at all.

C & S

Schedules are agreed by site managers via calls or SMS, not visible to back-office.

Payroll nightmare

Missing checkins and timesheet only show up when you're trying to pay crew.

Found at the progress claim

Jobs over budget are discovered when it's too late to pull them back.

On site

Three versions of the truth

And none of them finished. Missing check-ins are found on payroll day, jobs over budget are found at the progress claim, and profit is lost on every job.

In the office

You're chasing, not running

Ringing guys at 5 PM to ask where they were, rebuilding the same report every Friday, and still not trusting the number.

It's just wrong

You shouldn't have to stand on every site

Directors shouldn't have to stand on every site to know what happened on it. And the crew doing the work deserves to be paid right.

Cost of doing nothing

What does rounded-up time cost you a year?

Half an hour of rounded-up time per worker, per day, on a 20-person crew adds up to $138,000 a year. Move the sliders to see your number.

What you get

Four reports that tell you what happened, every day

Built from your crew's check-ins and set up with you, so you know who's on site, what got done and whether each job is making money.

Morning Attendance Report

Who's on site, absent, on leave or late, flagged by name, so you can make the call before the day is gone.

  • On site
    Who checked in, and on which project.
  • Absent
    Who didn't show, by name and mobile number.
  • On leave
    So you're not chasing people who are off.
  • Late
    Late check-ins, flagged for you.

Daily Site Summary

Project productivity, labour cost and out-of-boundary check-ins for every project, so you know what happened on every site without ringing around.

Check-ins made outside a site's geo-fence are flagged in the summary, so you know which hours to question.

Productivity Report

Live visibility into crew output on every fixed-price job, so you can act early, keep tighter cost control and estimate the next job better.

Project Finance Reports

Budget vs actual in hours and dollars, variations included, so you know if the job is making money right now.

  • A 90% burn alert before the job runs over budget.
  • Labour cost for any claim period, ready for your progress claim.

The plan

Your first report in three simple steps

    Book a demo

    We look at your sites, your crews and how you pay subbies, then set up your projects with you.

  2. 02

    Your crew checks in

    If they know how to use WhatsApp, they can easily use Swift Checkin.

    Read your reports

    They land in your inbox every morning. Fix problems before 8 am, not at payroll.

Job costing report

Weekly, with labour burn rate.

Payroll-ready export

Hours synced straight to Xero, good bye to re-entries.

Subbie invoice check

AI-agent checks subbie invoice against their pay rate and timesheets.

Social procurement

Hours by worker type or category, ready to report.

Worried your crew won't use it, or that setup will eat your week?

We set it up with you. Start with a free 15-day cost audit. Works with Xero and MYOB.

We get it

We know what it's like to spend Friday night rebuilding the same report.

Swift Checkin was built by a former specialty trade contractor who spent too many Friday nights doing exactly that. So we built the reports we wished we'd had, and we set them up with you.

118% hour burn caught live

On one project, caught as it happened, not at the progress claim. Sydney-based construction contractor, 2026.

$6,238 overbilling caught

Subcontractor overbilling caught in 39 days by the same contractor.

90% less payroll admin

Plus $500K+ of subcontractor invoices AI-verified and 12% extra profit secured.

“Payroll is stress-free, and Thursdays are finally productive again.”

Before & after

Why Swift Checkin stands out?

Before
After

Hours scattered across WhatsApp, paper and spreadsheets

Automated daily report on your mobile that gives you the full summary

Dread on payroll day and at every progress claim

In control: you already know the numbers

Driving site to site, ringing guys at 5 PM

No more phone calls, the summary is ready in your inbox

The one always reacting

The subcontractor who knows their margin and prices the next job for profit

$58K

A year lost to delayed reporting. Can you afford that?

Monday's attendance report lands on payroll day. The job cost update arrives at month end, after the hours are paid. Meanwhile your office spends 8 hours a week stitching it together, and the rounding and missed check-outs slip through because no one sees them in time.
