Reports
01Timeline Labor Manager: The Challenge
Construction contractors and factory owners track worker attendance and wages on paper or shared spreadsheets. Advances and overtime get lost or disputed. Payroll night becomes a 6-hour reconciliation. Commercial labor systems are priced for enterprise.
02Timeline Labor Manager: The Solution
Built a desktop labor-management application with worker registry, daily attendance, overtime tracking, advance/loan tracking with running balances, weekly and monthly payroll reports, and printable wage slips. Works offline, single-installer.
03Timeline Labor Manager: The Results
Used on construction sites across Pakistan and the UAE. Payroll reconciliation time cut from 6 hours to 35 minutes per week. Advance disputes effectively eliminated since the running balance is visible to both site supervisor and worker.
