Construction & EngineeringBuilt for crews, equipment and projects that change daily.
Multi-site crews, equipment, certifications and schedules that shift every morning. chx4-work keeps the schedule, the people and the finances aligned, without the cost and weight of a full ERP.
Small gaps compound across the workforce operation.
One missed detail can cascade from onboarding to scheduling, payroll and coverage.
- OnboardingWorkers can't start on day one.
- SchedulingPhone calls, and crews at the wrong job site.
- NotesWorkers arrive unprepared.
- TimesheetsErrors become payroll issues.
- PayrollDisputes, and a loss of trust.
- LeaveCoverage gaps and compliance risk.
A single flow where information is captured once and reused everywhere it's needed.
Why it's a loop: leave, certificate expiries, schedule changes, new starters and payroll cycles never stop. chx4-work connects each step to the next, so nothing has to be re-entered or re-explained.
1Onboard once
Hire to ready-to-work. A central record of licences, certificates, inductions and key details, so a worker is cleared before day one and stays cleared as expiry dates approach.
2Schedule with confidence
The weekly plan is live, not a whiteboard, and changes don't depend on someone being in the office to update and re-explain them.
3Send the context
A schedule tells someone where to go; notes tell them what to do and expect. Attached to the job, the briefing doesn't vanish in a group chat.
4Capture time at the source
Hours are recorded when they are worked, not reconstructed days later, so job costing and payroll start from accurate inputs.
5Pay accurately and transparently
Approved time flows to payroll in Xero, and workers can check their pay details quickly, avoiding delays and the quiet doubt that erodes trust.
6Plan capacity realistically
Approved leave is visible and goes back into the schedule automatically, so coverage gaps don't arrive as surprises.
Control from tender to timesheet.
Run projects end to end
Schedule people and equipment, track progress and monitor budgets in one place.
Stay in control on site
Mobile updates, photos and checklists that prove the work is done.
Accurate job costing
Time captured directly against projects, not pieced together at the end of the week.
Less admin
Replace the spreadsheets, whiteboards and phone calls that hold the schedule together today.
Onboard workers faster
Digital forms, documents and e-signatures, with licences and certificates on record.
Payroll and finance aligned
Approved timesheets, leave and expenses flow to Xero.
