Case Studies

Real businesses. Real results.

Thousands of operatives across construction, security, healthcare, and hospitality rely on Adestio every day.

Multi-site contractor with 40 operatives

The situation

A regional groundworks contractor managing 40 workers across 8 active sites. Project managers struggled to confirm attendance without physically visiting each site.

The challenge

Paper timesheets were being lost, altered, or completed from off-site. Payroll disputes were common. Document compliance - OSHA cards, certifications - was impossible to track across sites.

The outcome

Geofencing eliminated ghost attendance. Facial recognition ended buddy-punching. Document expiry alerts prevented compliance breaches. Timesheets now feed directly into QuickBooks with no manual entry.

Security firm covering 15 sites

The situation

A mid-size security company deploying guards across commercial and retail sites. SIA licence compliance was a daily operational headache.

The challenge

Confirming guards were on location and properly licensed at the start of every shift required manual calls and spreadsheet checks. Expired licences occasionally slipped through.

The outcome

Geofence and face verification at clock-in replaced manual confirmation calls. SIA licence uploads with expiry alerts eliminated compliance gaps. Management now has a live dashboard across all 15 sites.

Care home group with rotating staff

The situation

A care home group with three locations and 60 part-time and agency staff on rotating shifts. Payroll was processed weekly with significant manual effort.

The challenge

Agency staff tracking was unreliable. DBS check and mandatory training certificate compliance required constant chasing. Shift disputes were frequent and time-consuming to resolve.

The outcome

All staff - permanent and agency - verified on arrival. Document tracking replaced manual certificate chasing. Verified timesheets reduced payroll processing time significantly and eliminated most disputes.

Events catering company with variable crews

The situation

An events catering business deploying variable crews of 10-60 staff to venues across the region. Each event had a different location and different crew.

The challenge

Tracking attendance at dozens of different venues was impractical with paper systems. Crew hours were difficult to calculate accurately for variable-rate pay.

The outcome

New geofences set up per event in minutes. Staff clock in and out at any venue with full verification. Timesheets export to FreshBooks automatically, cutting post-event admin from hours to minutes.
