The problem
Statom Group were using fixed, facial recognition units to manage attendance on their sites. However, not only were they finding the data from the units unreliable and temperamental, at the end of the day, the guys would have to have to wait in long queues to leave site which would be frustrating and time-consuming.
On top of this, the recorded hours of all their guys coming through to payroll each week would have to be manually adjusted and checked by directors and payroll. It was a weekly headache that would take valuable time away from everybody’s working days.
“Chime is game-changing for us! From having accurate, real-time labour costs to saving huge amounts of time for everyone across the company.”

Measurable impact
1 | View information from anywhere!
Statom Group have been so impressed with how Chime creates a ‘passport’ of key information for every one of their guys with details of their sign in hours, skills, certificates and what documentation they have signed. This means that wherever a director is, whether in the office, on the road, or at site, they can easily check any information they need in real-time.
2 | Game-Changing. Time-saving.
With confidence in the data from Chime - it now means that there are far less queries and weekly phone calls for payroll, approval is easy for managers and the whole time-sheet process is now streamlined and efficient. As Mark Brister says,“Chime has saved huge amounts of time for not only me, but payroll, site managers and across the company.”
3 | Accuracy of labour resource
Statom Group’s commercial teams now have real-time, accurate data on their labour resource with a variety of labour reports at their fingertips. With this information to hand, they can have confidence that they know what their labour costs are at any point during a project, as well as giving valuable data for the costing and planning of future projects.
4 | Digitally signed Safety Bulletins
Statom Group previously would get Safety notices or Toolbox Talks signed on paper that would have to get printed out and then returned to the office. This was both time-consuming and difficult to manage. Now, they can upload any document onto their Chime platform and push it out to their guys to read and digitally sign. Easy!
5 | Variations Report
The variation report is one of many reports on the Chime Platform. Mark Brister has found this report invaluable, as he says: “I can see on a Monday morning what sites / hours have been changed from the actual clocking in hours and then make calls to follow up why this might be. With a large team, this report is already saving us money.”

Common questions
How do I approve timesheets?
Approvals can be done by line managers via Chime’s web portal. Approvals can be managed by week, site, or individual, depending on your workflow.
What’s the difference between Chime’s timesheets and traditional paper ones?
Chime’s digital timesheets are generated automatically based on real-time clock-in/out data. This ensures accuracy, eliminates manual entry, and significantly reduces time spent chasing or validating hours.
Can I download a timesheet for an individual or group?
Yes. You can export filtered timesheet reports by date, site, or cohort, including standard and overtime hours.
Is it easy to approve timesheets?
Chime was designed by construction professionals for construction professionals – and that goes for timesheet approvals, too. We have screens for Site Managers, Contract Managers and Finance, all ready to go; on web and mobile.
Can managers view and approve time off easily?
Time off management is key in construction - busy sites, scheduling and tight deadlines mean it is essential to know who is where and when (and when they are not!). From the Chime app or desktop it is very easy to view, approve and schedule your teams.
