Three portals, one system
Your admin team, your clients, your workers and your drivers all access exactly what they need — nothing more, nothing less.
How it works
LabourSystem follows your actual workflow — no re-training, no workarounds.
Your client logs in, selects their site, specifies what they need and when. You get notified instantly.
Assign workers using the planner. Workers get WhatsApp confirmation with site address and start time.
GPS check-in from mobile confirms attendance. Hours are logged automatically against the shift.
Completed shifts auto-generate the invoice. Send it, collect via GoCardless, and pay workers via BACS or Wise.
What our clients say
We were running everything on WhatsApp and a shared spreadsheet. LabourSystem replaced all of that — our clients can now request workers directly, our operatives check in via GPS, and invoices go out automatically at the end of the week. The CIS deductions alone saved us hours every month.
