Workyard builds an AI-powered operations layer for construction crews: Time Assistant, geofence-triggered forms, and Shortcuts

construction-techworkforce-managementai-time-trackingfield-operationspayroll-integration
Current state
Workyard is a construction workforce management platform that has deployed an AI Time Assistant for correcting timecards via natural language — now available to both admins and managers — and expanded integrations to Acumatica, Sage 100 Contractor, and QuickBooks Online (including time off). Smart Forms gained geofence and task triggers that fire automatically as crew members arrive on site. The Shortcuts feature lets foremen clock entire crews with one tap.
Where it's heading
The platform is converging on eliminating manual data entry for field operations: the AI Time Assistant handles timecard cleanup, geofence-triggered forms handle compliance, Shortcuts handles crew clock-in, and integration exports handle payroll data transfer. Each new integration (Acumatica, Sage 100, QuickBooks) adds a payroll system that field hours can flow into without re-keying.
Prediction
The Time Assistant will likely gain predictive capabilities — flagging anomalous time entries before payroll runs, not just correcting them after the fact. Expect more ERP integrations targeting mid-market construction companies.
