Founders
The founders of WorkWeek.
Founded in Cape Town by Niven Poleman and Tristan Drummond, WorkWeek started with a simple problem: field teams were doing the work, but the office was still trying to run the business from paper, WhatsApp messages, and delayed payroll records.

Local support
WorkWeek was built in South Africa, alongside our clients. We know how attendance and compliance work on the ground here, and we back the product with real local support. When something comes up, you talk to a person through our WhatsApp support line. Support for us is part of the complete service.

“Beyond the software itself, the team behind WorkWeek has been incredible. Not only has this been a monumental shift for us in terms of saving time and improving accuracy, but the people who built it are genuinely wonderful, caring, and deeply invested in their clients.
They made the entire transition seamless and have gone out of their way to adapt the system to how we operate as a company, not the other way around. It honestly feels like they have partnered with us to make WorkWeek work for us.”

Our mission
Create a more connected workforce from the site to the office.
The teams doing the hardest work are often managed with tools never made for them. WorkWeek brings dignity, structure, and trust to the people who build the world.
We improve communication between site and office by giving both sides one accurate record of work.
What we built
One mobile system from site to dashboard.
WorkWeek helps construction, civils, field services, facilities, and security teams run hours, attendance, and compliance across every site. No paper. No mobile data. No hardware.
Data-free mobile clock-ins
Supervisors can clock in an entire team from one smartphone, even on remote or low-connectivity sites.
Verified attendance records
Every clock event is backed by time, location, and image verification so teams can trust the record.
Payroll-ready wages
Hours, overtime, and pay-cycle information are structured for payroll instead of being rebuilt from paper.
Live site-cost visibility
Owners and managers can see who is working, where, when, and what labour is costing across sites.
Task tracking
Teams can record what employees are actually working on, so hours connect to the real work happening on site.
What we solve
One trusted record from site to office.
On site, the people running operations and the people doing the work rarely meet. WorkWeek closes that gap with verified, timestamped attendance that owners, supervisors, workers, and payroll teams can rely on.
How we build
Built alongside the people who use it.
We listen to owners, supervisors, payroll teams, and workers, then build the simplest version that helps them run the week with less admin and more confidence.
Proof from the field
“I used to spend four hours data capturing every day. Now it's 10 minutes.”
Arista Paxton
Manager, Preform
“With face recognition, no one can clock in for someone else. That problem is gone.”
Mario
Site Manager, Safety Secure
“Now, with accurate timesheets, we can get a full picture of how much sites, and labour, are actually costing us.”

Safety Officer, Supreme Scaffolding
