Know exactly who's on site, at the gate.
Attendance is a tap, not a signature. A worker taps their Buildpal card at the gate and the reader records who was there, even with no phone or network. That record is what workers get paid on, and what settles any dispute.
Works with no signal
Taps are captured offline and upload automatically, so the gate is never blocked by the network.
No phone required
A physical card works at the reader, so attendance never depends on a worker's phone or battery.
Paid for who was there
Verified presence drives what workers get paid, so hours match reality, not memory.
The reader tells you why
If a tap is refused, the reader says so on the spot and why: the card isn't active, or the worker isn't booked on this site. No guessing at the gate.
From a tap at the gate to a record you can pay against.
Four steps, the same every shift. No paper sign-in sheet, no end-of-week reconstruction.
Tap at the gate

Buildpal Reader
The gate device that logs who's on site.
Tap your card to clock in
Attendance that gets workers paid.
Site Access & Attendance is the front door to payment. Every verified tap connects to the worker's booking on the Worker Platform, the contractor approves the hours, and the worker is paid through Buildpal. No spreadsheet reconstruction, no separate payroll run between the gate and payday.

Questions about the system, the kit, and the cost.
It's the physical layer of the Worker Platform: a card reader at your gate and NFC cards for workers, tying each verified worker to their actual presence on site, and to how they get paid through Buildpal.
A confirmed tap links to the worker's booking. Once a contractor approves the hours, the worker is paid through Buildpal, with no manual reconciliation between attendance, bookings and payroll.
It works best alongside Verified Worker Profiles and Workforce Management, but the readers and cards can run as a standalone attendance system.
