Field app for Québec contractors: clock-in, reports and incidents, even with no signal
Your crew clocks in, confirms the toolbox talk, reports the day and declares an incident from their phone. When the network is missing, the app keeps everything and sends it when the signal returns.
What the mobile app does
- Clock in: arrival, break, departure, and the phase of the day. The position is measured once, at clock-in: we keep the distance to the job site, never the position. Beyond 350 m, the worker confirms, and only the mention “far away” is kept.
- My hours: their week as it will be paid, 12 weeks of history, their vacation and banked-hours balances. They report an error or enter forgotten hours.
- Toolbox talk: the foreman opens it, everyone confirms it on their phone. The points follow the risks ticked for the job site; the foreman records attendees who have no account.
- Daily report in three steps, with photos. The clock-in pre-fills it and the work orders finished today are added on their own.
- Incident or near miss declared on site, with photos and witnesses. If there is time lost or a serious injury, management receives an email; the employer’s notice (ADR) is then prepared at the office.
- My schedule and my work orders: their assignments and their work orders, with due date and estimated hours. They finish a work order by entering their actual hours.
- Documents: the job site’s plans, specifications and permits; safety data sheets readable with no network; their pay stubs and their expenses.
- Absences: request time off, report absent today, follow the answer.
- Equipment: scan its code, see its record, do the pre-use check.
- For the foreman: material receiving with a photo of the delivery slip, supplier receipt read by AI, today’s attendance, file notes.
- Offline: clock-in, toolbox talk, report, incident, receiving and finished work orders wait for the network with their photos, then go out on their own.

Who it’s for
Frequently asked questions
Does the app really work without a connection?
Yes. Clock-ins, toolbox talks, reports, incident reports, material receiving and finished work orders are saved on the phone, with their photos, and sent as soon as the network comes back. A concrete basement, a back road with no coverage or a job site in the regions won't block the day — and nothing is lost in the meantime. Absences, expenses and pay stubs, however, need the network.
Does BatiCore track my employees' location?
No. The position is measured once, at the arrival clock-in. Within 350 m of the job site, the server computes the distance and keeps only that distance; beyond, the worker confirms, and only the mention “position far away” is kept. An employee who refused geolocation clocks in without a position. Coordinates are never stored — the columns don't exist in the database. It's written in the field guide the worker can read.
Do I need to install an app from a store?
No. BatiCore Field is an installable web app: from the phone's browser, it is added to the home screen and behaves like an app — no store account, no update to approve, on Android as on iPhone. The steps are higher up on this page.
