    Traditional access control was never built for construction

    Most solutions force a compromise. CloudLoq treats access as a live, data-driven system instead.

    The usual way

    • Pen-and-paper logs leave room for human error.
    • Clunky legacy software that fails at scale.
    • Slow inductions create queues at the gate.
    • Hardware-heavy systems demand costly replacements.
    • Without live data, one incident can halt work.

    The CloudLoq way

    • Real-time visibility into every site and contractor.
    • Fast, automated inductions with no queues.
    • Facial recognition, safer than cards or fingerprints.
    • Integrates with what you already have.
    • One source of truth across all your projects.

    Everything you need to run access, compliance and reporting

    Facial recognition that stops card-sharing

    Only the right people get through the gate. Card authentication is also supported where you need it.

    The challenge

    Construction projects run on precision, often having tight schedules, carefully managed budgets, and coordinated teams across multiple trades. For main contractors, project managers and financial controllers, this creates real challenges:

    • Workers enter and exit sites, but attendance data sits in separate systems or spreadsheets
    • Project teams rely on manual time sheets or approximations
    • Cost forecasts are built on incomplete workforce data
    • Finance teams struggle to reconcile actual site activity with project budgets

    The result is a fragmented view of the project, where decision-makers can’t easily see how site activity affects productivity, resources and financial performance.

    As construction projects grow more complex, this disconnect becomes increasingly costly. The solution lies in connected construction technology, and that’s exactly what CloudLoq delivers for Clancy Construction.

    CloudLoq

    CloudLoq is a lightweight, cloud-first and mobile-first construction access control platform designed to give contractors real-time insight into who is on site and how long they stay. Using cloud-edge technology, CloudLoq:

    • Tracks site access and attendance
    • Provides near real-time workforce data
    • Manages turnstile-based site access
    • Captures detailed information about all persons and subcontracted companies on site

    CloudLoq ensures only the correct personnel with valid credentials are allowed access to the site. It:

    • Enforces compliance for Health & Safety
    • Enhances site security

    Access is secured through Suprema FaceStation 2 biometric readers, enabling highly accurate facial recognition.

    Procore

    Procore is widely recognised as a leading end-to-end construction management platform, connecting the office and the field through tools for:

    • Project execution
    • Cost management
    • Resource management

    Its platform brings together contractors, project teams and stakeholders, providing real-time visibility into project performance and financial health.

    The integration between CloudLoq and Procore creates a powerful bridge between what’s happening on the ground and what’s being tracked in the management system.

    Because CloudLoq is built with an open ecosystem integration approach, it can seamlessly integrate with leading construction platforms like Procore, ensuring site data flows directly into the systems that drive project decisions.

    Key workflows and capabilities: from turnstile to timesheet

    One of the most powerful capabilities of the CloudLoq–Procore integration is automated time tracking based on real site activity. Here’s how it works.

    Step 1: Contactless site entry

    Workers arrive at the site and access the gate using CloudLoq biometric turnstiles. The process is simple:

    • The worker approaches the turnstile
    • The Suprema FaceStation 2 scans their face
    • Access is granted in under 0.5 seconds

    This creates a secure and frictionless entry experience, while automatically recording:

    • Worker identity
    • Time of entry
    • Time of exit
    • Company affiliation
    Step 2: Accurate attendance data captured

    Every access event is recorded within CloudLoq’s system, creating a granular, real-time record of workforce activity across the site. This includes:

    • Total hours worked
    • Attendance patterns
    • Subcontractor presence
    • Historical site activity reports

    Unlike manual time sheets, this data is objective, verifiable and automated.

    Step 3: Seamless data sync with Procore

    Through the integration, this site access and attendance data flows directly into Procore. This allows project teams to:

    • Automatically populate time tracking records
    • Feed attendance data into resource management tools
    • Reduce reliance on manual timesheet entry

    For project managers, the benefits are immediate. Instead of chasing paperwork or reconciling spreadsheets, they can focus on delivering the project.

    The integration between CloudLoq and Procore delivers measurable operational advantages across the entire construction organisation.

    Financial visibility that drives better decisions

    For financial controllers and commercial teams, one of the biggest challenges in construction is connecting workforce activity with project costs. CloudLoq provides this information and enables:

    • More accurate subcontractor cost tracking
    • Faster reconciliation of subcontractor invoices
    • Improved budget forecasting
    • Real-time visibility into workforce costs

    Instead of estimating labour hours or relying on delayed reports, finance teams can see exactly who was on site and for how long. That level of accuracy helps contractors maintain tighter control over margins.

    Anomaly tracking and quality control

    Construction sites are dynamic environments, and managing site security and compliance is critical. CloudLoq captures detailed entry and exit data, allowing Clancy to identify unusual site activity or access anomalies. Examples include:

    • Multiple entries by the same person at unusual times
    • Unexpected access patterns
    • Discrepancies between reported hours and actual attendance

    When this data is integrated with Procore’s project management platform, it enhances broader Quality & Safety oversight. Project teams gain:

    • Improved site accountability
    • Better workforce transparency
    • Stronger compliance monitoring

    Ultimately, it ensures that project leaders always know who is on site and why.

    From induction to turnstile: how CloudLoq and compliance software are automating construction site compliance and access

    The construction site bottleneck: where compliance meets chaos

    Construction sites move fast, but onboarding subcontractors rarely does.

    For site managers, Health & Safety leaders and operations teams, verifying that every worker on site is properly trained, certified and approved can become a logistical headache. Traditional onboarding often involves:

    • Emailing certificates back and forth
    • Manual document verification
    • Paper inductions
    • Spreadsheets tracking training and site access
    • Last-minute checks at the site gate

    This fragmented process creates serious risks.

    A subcontractor might arrive on site before their documentation is verified. An expired certificate might go unnoticed. Or worse, non-compliant workers could gain access to the site, exposing contractors to safety, financial and regulatory consequences.

    What the construction industry needs is a seamless bridge between workforce compliance and physical site security. That’s exactly what the integration between CloudLoq and Compliance Software delivers.

    Up to 80%less contractor onboarding admin
    Up to 10xfaster contractor onboarding

    The solution: CloudLoq meets compliance software

    CloudLoq, a lightweight cloud-first and mobile-first construction access control platform, provides real-time visibility and control over who is entering and leaving your sites. It manages workforce access through biometric devices and turnstiles while generating valuable operational insights from workforce data.

    Compliance Software, meanwhile, typically specialises in automating workforce compliance, onboarding and training management, ensuring every worker is certified and qualified before stepping onto a project.

    By integrating the two platforms, construction companies can create a fully automated “Induction to Turnstile” workflow.

    This integration aligns perfectly with CloudLoq’s open ecosystem approach, allowing construction technology systems to work together in a horizontal solution tailored to customer requirements.

    The result? A single digital pipeline that connects compliance verification directly to physical site access.

    In simple terms: if a worker isn’t compliant, they can’t get through the gate.

    The “Induction to Turnstile” journey

    The CloudLoq and Compliance Software integration removes friction from contractor onboarding while ensuring complete compliance control. Here’s how the automated process works.

    Step 1: Digital onboarding – contractors complete inductions anytime

    Instead of waiting for paperwork or manual site inductions, subcontractors begin the process through your Compliance Software’s digital onboarding platform. Workers can:

    • Complete site inductions online
    • Upload certificates and training records
    • Fill out onboarding forms
    • Submit documentation 24/7 from any device

    Your compliance platform then creates a complete digital worker profile, including:

    • Training records
    • Compliance status
    • Certifications
    • Induction history

    This creates a digital audit trail for every subcontractor before they even arrive on site.

    Step 2: Automated compliance approval

    Once documentation is uploaded, your Compliance Software automatically verifies the worker’s compliance status. The compliance platform typically performs:

    • Skills gap analysis
    • Training matrix validation
    • Certificate verification
    • Compliance checks

    If a document expires or required training is missing, the system flags the issue immediately.

    For HSEQ teams, the impact is significant:

    • Up to 80% reduction in administration time for contractor onboarding
    • Less manual paperwork
    • Fewer compliance risks
    • Faster worker approvals

    Instead of managing spreadsheets and chasing documents, compliance teams can focus on site safety and operational oversight.

    Step 3: Frictionless site access with CloudLoq

    Once a subcontractor is fully approved in your Compliance Software, the integration automatically communicates with CloudLoq. This triggers the final step: access permissions are instantly granted for the construction site.

    When the worker arrives, the process is incredibly simple. They walk up to the site entrance and:

    • Approach the CloudLoq turnstile
    • Scan their face using a Suprema FaceStation 2 biometric reader
    • Enter the site in less than 0.5 seconds

    The entire process is fully contactless, secure and automated.

    If a worker’s certification expires or their compliance status changes, their site access can be automatically revoked. This ensures that only approved subcontractors with valid certifications are allowed on site.

    Key benefits for construction companies

    The integration between CloudLoq and your Compliance Software delivers measurable operational and financial benefits across construction organisations.

    Drastically reduced administration

    Contractor onboarding is one of the most time-consuming tasks for HSEQ teams. By digitising and automating the process, we can remove up to 80% of administration time related to contractor onboarding. This frees teams to focus on:

    • Site safety
    • Risk management
    • Workforce planning

    Instead of paperwork.

    Faster contractor onboarding

    Traditional onboarding processes involving emails, spreadsheets and paper inductions slow projects down. Contractors can be onboarded up to 10x faster with integrations.

    Because compliance approval automatically triggers site access permissions, there is no duplication of work and no delays at the gate.

    A single source of truth for workforce data

    Disconnected systems create data silos across construction organisations. This integration provides one unified view of workforce information, connecting:

    • HSEQ compliance data
    • Site access records
    • Attendance tracking
    • Contractor information

    Operations, compliance and finance teams can all work from the same real-time data.

    Stronger site security

    Physical site access is now directly linked to verified compliance status. This means:

    • Workers without valid training cannot enter the site
    • Expired certifications trigger automatic access restrictions
    • Site managers always know exactly who is on site

    This dramatically reduces compliance risks and safety incidents.

    Real financial and operational insights

    Because CloudLoq captures real-time access and attendance data, construction companies gain deeper visibility into workforce activity. This data can be used to:

    • Track contractor hours on site
    • Identify workforce productivity trends
    • Detect access anomalies
    • Improve cost forecasting

    When compliance, workforce activity and access data are connected, companies gain powerful operational intelligence.

    Building a safer, data-driven construction workforce

    Construction projects depend on the right people being on site – at the right time, with the right training.

    The integration between CloudLoq and your Compliance Software removes the gap between compliance verification and site access control.

    By connecting digital onboarding with biometric site entry, construction companies can:

    • Onboard subcontractors faster
    • Reduce compliance administration
    • Strengthen site security
    • Ensure only qualified workers access the site
    • Unlock valuable workforce data

    Most importantly, it creates a safer, smarter and more efficient construction environment.
