Chime Construction Software vs IPAF ePAL

Chime helps digitise construction companies by replacing paper, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems with a single powerful platform. Built for the construction industry, Chime streamlines time and attendance, skills management, compliance, and equipment tracking—bringing everything together in one easy-to-use app. Key features: Time & Attendance Easily capture accurate clock-in and clock-out times from site, with GPS recorded at the moment of sign-in and sign-out to support site compliance and reporting. Timesheets Review and approve completed timesheets digitally, reducing admin time and payroll errors. Skills & Competency Management Keep track of worker qualifications, training records and role requirements, ensuring the right people are on the right jobs. Compliance Digitally manage key documents, track inductions and briefings, and monitor health & safety requirements to reduce risk. Equipment Tracking Log equipment, report faults, and stay on top of servicing to ensure your assets are safe and available when needed. Built for the Field Designed to work in tough site environments—Chime is quick to roll out, easy to use, and accessible on both web and mobile. Chime captures GPS location at key moments—such as signing in or out of site—and may also record location when submitting checklists or taking photos to support accurate records. We do not track location continuously or in the background.
