Problem
Construction firms operate on extremely thin 2–3% margins, yet paper-based time tracking routinely fails to capture small daily losses such as late clock-ins or workers punching in from the lobby. These unverified hours silently accumulate into hundreds of thousands of dollars in unearned payroll, while disconnected documents and expiring certifications create audit violations and inflated insurance premiums.
Solution
Ralco provides a mobile-first construction compliance platform that unifies time tracking, document management, and payroll into a single system. Workers clock in using biometric facial recognition and geofence verification, while site managers access a live dashboard showing who is on site, which floors they are on, and whether all credentials are current. The platform automatically prompts workers to sign outstanding documents such as JHAs and pre-task plans before their shift begins, and an AI foreman assistant answers natural-language questions about attendance, safety alerts, and certification status. Verified hours flow directly into a certified payroll module, powered by CheckHQ infrastructure, that handles multi-state wage calculations, compliance reporting, and next-business-day direct deposit.
Target Audience
Primary customers are construction contractors and subcontractors in the United States, particularly firms managing high-rise or multi-floor projects that need certified payroll compliance, workforce visibility, and audit-ready documentation across all 50 states.
