Labour tracking software for general contractors
WBSync gives general and main contractors one labour picture across self-perform trades and labour-only subcontractors: hours per element on a 4-level WBS, S/E (Spent vs Earned), SPI and CPI per package, and a portfolio dashboard that rolls every live project into one view — so the monthly review starts from the same numbers the site logged daily.
A main contractor's labour problem is split personality: self-perform trades whose hours live in payroll, labour-only subcontractors whose hours live in someone else's spreadsheet, and a client who wants progress reported against the programme regardless of who swung the hammer.
WBSync puts all of it on one WBS. Self-perform crews and subcontract gangs log against the same elements and cost codes, progress is quantity-based rather than walked-the-floor percentages, and every project rolls up to a portfolio view the commercial team reads across the business.
Where the hours go on general contractors packages
Self-perform labour is invisible per element
Payroll knows the week's total; nobody knows what the columns on grid line C actually cost. Logging hours against elements on the WBS turns the self-perform ledger into per-element productivity you can price the next job from.
Subcontractor percentages can't be checked
A package sub claiming 70% complete is a negotiation, not a measurement. Quantity-based progress against agreed activities gives the surveyor evidence to certify against — and catches the optimistic claim before it's paid.
Supervision and attendances creep
Prelim staff, hoist drivers, cleaners and attendances drift beyond the allowance quietly. Giving them their own cost codes means the burn is visible weekly, not discovered at the cost-value reconciliation.
Every project reports its own way
Ten jobs, ten spreadsheets, ten definitions of percent complete. One WBS convention with the same earned-value arithmetic on every project means the monthly review compares like with like — and the portfolio dashboard does the aggregation for you.
How WBSync fits
One portfolio, every live job
The portfolio dashboard rolls hours, progress and earned value across every live project — filterable by time range — so the business review starts from live data, not month-old spreadsheets.
Subcontract hours without extra seats
Subcontract operatives are tracked without logins or per-seat charges; pricing scales by active operatives with unlimited PM, QS, engineer and foreman seats on every tier.
Role-scoped access per package
Package managers see their package; the commercial team sees the project; rates stay visible only to roles you allow. Nine built-in roles plus a custom role editor, scoped per project.
Client-ready progress reporting
Progress reports with EV, AC, variances and forecasts (EAC, ETC, TCPI) generate as branded PDF or XLSX to PMI / ISO 21508 conventions — with scheduled email delivery on Team tier and above.
Frequently asked questions
Can we see all projects in one view?
Yes. The portfolio dashboard aggregates every live project — hours, progress, earned value and KPIs — with time-range filtering, so a monthly business review or a board pack starts from the same data the sites log daily.
Do subcontractors get access to our numbers?
Only what you grant. Roles are scoped per project and WBS visibility can be restricted, so a package foreman can log hours without seeing budgets, rates or other packages. Rates are gated to cost-visible roles throughout.
We self-perform some trades and sub the rest — does that fit?
That's the design case. Self-perform crews log via the mobile crew log or your clock-in system; subcontract gangs are logged by their foreman as operatives without seats. Both land on the same WBS, so cost and progress stay whole-project.
What does it cost across multiple projects?
Pricing scales by active operatives, not projects: Team (€499/month, up to 100 operatives) and above include unlimited projects. Every account starts with a free 30-day trial — no card required.
