What you get
The parts of Tarleaks a contractor uses most. Each links to the full feature list.
Clock-in at the site, not from home
Each site is a work location with a radius. Every clock-in keeps the time, the place and the network it came from.
Crews on shifts
Build day and night shift templates once, then assign whole crews to a shift for the length of a job.
Work permits before they lapse
One register for visas, Iqamas and work permits across a large labour force, with nightly alerts to HR and the site manager.
Hours on site become pay
Approved timesheets turn into pay days, and overtime is priced from the hours a manager approved, not from a spreadsheet.
Programme with a critical path
A Gantt timeline drawn from the real task dates, with the critical path highlighted so you see which delay moves the handover.
Tools and equipment with a custodian
Check equipment out to a named person and back in. The chain of custody is kept and never edited.
Apps you will use

Questions
Can workers clock in only at the site?
Yes. Each site is a work location with a radius, and you can require clock-in inside it.
Does it produce the UAE WPS file?
Yes. The salary file for the Wage Protection System comes from the same payroll run that HR and accounting see.
Can we track equipment on each site?
Yes. Every asset has a location and a custodian, and moving it to another person or site keeps the full history.
