Real-Time Workforce Visibility Ends Labor Drift & Rework
Labor drift, rework and schedule slips thrive when you can't see head-count live. Learn how smart turnstiles & dashboards give GCs real-time visibility.

Profit margins for most general contractors hover between 2–4%. One missed preshift, an unvetted worker injury, or a sudden stop-work order can wipe that out in a single afternoon.
Below we break down why paper processes are a silent profit killer—and how digital safety dashboards protect both your people and your 3% fee.
When the carrier reviews your record, even one event boosts your experience-mod rate (EMR) and hikes next year's premiums.
Rummaging through binders after an incident means:
1. Gate Access With Auto-Verification Smart turnstiles or mobile badging block entry until OSHA cards, rigging licenses, and COIs are current—no manual roster chase-downs.
2. Digital Preshift & Permit Logs Crew leads complete hot-work, lift, or daily safety forms on a phone in under 60 seconds. Forms auto-save to a cloud vault—instantly searchable when the inspector shows up. Our digital preshift forms eliminate the paper chase and ensure compliance documentation is always current.
3. Real-Time Risk Alerts Dashboards surface leading indicators (excess overtime, missing PPE) so you fix issues before they become violations or injuries. Our time tracking solutions provide real-time visibility into worker hours and compliance status.
Case in point — Tishman Construction, 729 2nd Ave, NYC: By going 100% paperless on safety & compliance, Tishman slashed DOB inspection prep time 70%, avoided two potential Stop-Work Orders, and renewed comp & GL policies with no rate increase—all while delivering the project on schedule. Read the full case study to see how they achieved these results.
Scenario | Paper | Digital |
---|---|---|
SWO + 4 days idle crews | $9K fines + $8K labor | $0 |
One injury claim | $120K avg. total cost | Avoided |
Premium increase next 3 yrs | +18% | Flat / credited |
Preventing a single incident preserves $137K—often more than your entire fee on a $5M job.
In a margin-thin industry, stop-work order prevention is cheaper than cure. Digitize today, protect the 3% tomorrow, and spend your nights bidding the next project—not hunting paperwork.
