The business
St Albans Brickwork is a fast-growing specialist bricklaying subcontractor working across commercial and residential projects.
Supervisors were entering hours by hand for every subcontractor. Slow, and easy to get wrong.
“Vyce Time has been a really useful addition to how we manage hours on site. It's running smoothly and it's picked up things we'd definitely have missed before.”
Why Vyce Time
They wanted something mobile, simple, and with nothing to install on site. Vyce Time is an app. Operatives clock in, supervisors see it in real time, and there's no box on a wall waiting to be broken.
What changed
Accuracy. Vyce Time tracks when someone is actually on site. A few minutes per person per day adds up to thousands over a year.
No more guesswork. Half-day and full-day blocks are gone. You pay for time on the tools, which is fairer and tends to improve attendance on its own.
Less admin. Time entry is digital, so payroll runs faster and nobody chases timesheets.
Immediate return. It paid for itself in the first week.
“Vyce paid for itself in the first week and has since saved us a load of hours. And the lads have picked it up no problem.”
The outcome
More accountability, less payroll leakage, and time back on site — without changing how the teams already work.
That's rather the point. A small change, dropped into an existing routine, with an effect out of all proportion to the effort.
