How requisitioning tools are streamlining construction labour management
Managing agency labour on construction sites has always been a challenge. From juggling multiple third-party systems to chasing approvals and verifying timesheets, the process can be time-consuming and frustrating.
But what if there was a way to simplify it all? That’s where our requisitioning tool comes into play. It’s a seamless, fully integrated solution designed to eliminate inefficiencies and bring workforce management into the digital age.
Developed in response to direct client needs, this tool seamlessly integrates into the worker journey ecosystem, acting as the first step in a fully digitised workforce management process.
The challenge: A fragmented process
Labour requisitioning has traditionally been a manual, disjointed process. Site teams often find themselves dealing with delays, excessive administrative work, and unexpected costs due to lack of visibility. Some of the most common issues include:
- Slow turnaround in hiring required workers
- High administrative burden on site teams
- Invoicing and payment discrepancies
- Limited visibility into workforce costs and spending
With agency labour playing a critical role in keeping construction projects on track, an inefficient requisitioning process can lead to costly delays and unnecessary expenses.
A smarter way to manage labour requests
Our requisitioning tool is designed to remove these inefficiencies by allowing site teams to post job requirements directly within the MSite platform. No more back-and-forth between different systems as everything happens in one place.
Whether a project requires bricklayers, electricians, or general labourers, site teams can now:
- Specify roles, start dates, and project durations
- Send requests to pre-approved labour agencies
- Receive candidate proposals in real-time
By centralising these tasks, automated requisitioning makes labour procurement faster, more transparent, and much easier to manage.
From requisition to payroll: A seamless journey
Once a candidate is approved, the MSite’s worker journey you already know and love takes over, ensuring a smooth transition from hiring to on-site work. The process includes:
- Pre-registration and online induction
- Automatic site access setup for approved workers
- Labour hours tracking for accurate payroll processing
This integration eliminates the need for manual timesheet verification, ensuring workers are paid correctly while giving contractors real-time financial oversight.
Built-in approvals and budget control
One of the biggest advantages of our requisitioning tool is its built-in approvals and financial controls. This means site teams can set multi-stage approval workflows based on factors like:
- The seniority of the role
- The total value of the requisition
- Project budget constraints
The system also includes spend-tracking capabilities, helping main contractors monitor and control labour costs. If an order reaches its budget limit, the system can automatically halt further requisitions until additional funds are allocated—offering an extra layer of financial security.
Built for the industry, by the industry
Our industry-changing requisitioning tool was developed in response to direct client needs. Main contractors identified a clear gap in the market, with no existing system fully streamlining the requisitioning process while integrating seamlessly with payroll and workforce management.
By working closely with industry leaders, we have created a solution that directly addresses these challenges, making labour management more efficient, accountable, and cost-effective.
The future of workforce management starts here
By embedding requisitioning directly into the ecosystem alongside the rest of our tools, construction firms can now manage their entire workforce journey in one platform – from hiring agency workers to tracking their hours and processing payroll. It’s a major step forward in digital workforce management and a game-changer for the construction industry.
