Construction Intelligence Layer
Labor Timekeeping for a Solar Installation Company
A growing solar installer was tracking crew hours across job sites with paper timesheets and spreadsheets. Payroll took days. Job costing was a guess. Overtime disputes were constant. We built a custom timekeeping system that tracks labor hours by crew, job site, and task — giving project managers real-time visibility into where every dollar goes.
Real-Time
Labor Visibility
Know exactly how many hours each crew member logged on each job site — as it happens, not two weeks later.
Accurate
Job Costing
Labor costs tied directly to projects and tasks. No more guessing which jobs are profitable.
Payroll
Days → Hours
Automated payroll prep with overtime calculations, prevailing wage compliance, and export to accounting.
What We Built
Mobile time clock for field crews
GPS-verified clock-in/out from any phone. Crews select their job site and task — no app downloads required.
Project manager dashboard
Real-time view of who's on which site, hours logged vs. budgeted, and overtime alerts before they hit payroll.
Automated payroll export
Hours calculated with overtime rules, formatted for their payroll provider — cutting payroll prep from days to minutes.
Job cost reporting
Labor costs allocated per project, per task. PMs know which installations are profitable and which are bleeding.
Tracking labor on spreadsheets? Let's fix that.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does custom construction software improve field management?
Off-the-shelf field management apps operate in silos, requiring PMs to double-enter data into accounting systems and spreadsheets. Custom construction software unifies the data model. An update in the field instantly triggers PO updates, labor forecasting, and client-facing status dashboards, eliminating miscommunication and administrative waste.
Do you build integrations with existing construction accounting software?
Absolutely. We specialize in zero-debt architecture, which allows us to securely build custom operational layers on top of legacy accounting systems like Foundation, Sage, or QuickBooks. Instead of replacing the accounting core, we build the fast, modern field apps that sync seamlessly via API.
Why form a strategic partnership with Slickrock for an enterprise tool over a generic development agency?
Slickrock specializes in 'Appspark Parameterization' and high-velocity B2B development. A generic agency will bill you hourly to discover what a submittal or a punch list is. We understand the physical workflows of construction and translate them into AI-native, high-performance web and field architectures within weeks, not years.
