Guerrini Marine Construction replaced manual attendance records with verified, location-based clock-ins. The result is more accurate construction time tracking, better site visibility, and lower exposure to time theft across coastal projects.
Guerrini Marine Construction shows what changes when a business gets more accurate time tracking, site attendance records, and payroll data. Instead of working from paper, WhatsApp updates, or delayed submissions, managers can see clearer information during the day and use it to make faster decisions.
“The app has been really, really helpful to the company and has saved the company a lot of money, to be honest.”
The limits of manual attendance recording
Before WorkWeek, attendance at Guerrini was recorded manually. Teams booked themselves in, and the office had no reliable way to confirm whether the records matched who was actually on site, when they arrived, or where they were when they clocked in.
For a business managing crews across demanding coastal sites, that lack of visibility created a real operational gap. Without location verification or identity confirmation at the point of clock-in, the office was working from records it could not verify.
What WorkWeek changed
WorkWeek introduced geolocation and selfie verification to every clock-in. The app now confirms not just when an employee clocked in, but where they were standing when they did it.
If someone tries to book themselves in from home or from anywhere other than the designated site, the system picks it up. For Olwethu and the management team, that shifted attendance from a manual record into something the business can actually trust and use.
The outcome
The manual process has been replaced by a live, verifiable record that management can check at any point and rely on at month end. As Olwethu puts it, WorkWeek has saved the company a lot of money.
Key takeaways
That is what makes this case study useful for other teams in South Africa. The gains show up in more accurate attendance records, faster payroll preparation, fewer manual corrections, and better visibility of what is happening on site or in the field. For businesses like Guerrini Marine Construction, those improvements have a direct effect on labour control and daily reporting.
- Verified, location-confirmed clock-ins replaced manual records
- Off-site clock-in attempts can be detected in real time
- More accurate attendance data helped reduce money lost on site
