Rhumbix is a field-first workforce management platform for construction, giving contractors visibility into labor and job costs. Its tools capture payroll-ready timecards, track clock-ins, hours, overtime, and mandated breaks, and let workers use a shared kiosk device with identifiers such as PIN codes. Field workflows include production and time-and-materials tracking, daily construction reports, labor compliance reporting, and configurable customer forms. Phone users can capture timecards offline and sync them after reconnecting. Field Analytix provides reporting and performance insights; Data Explorer builds custom reports and dashboards without code. Rhumbix lists connections with Procore, Autodesk, Oracle, SAP, Sage, Viewpoint, COINS, QuickBooks, and ComputerEase, including bidirectional flows with ERP and project-management systems. Nearly all data has public REST API endpoints, and standard file exports are available. It supports Android, iOS, API, and web. Pricing requires contacting Rhumbix, and each login counts as a user license. Rhumbix says it is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and encrypts data in transit and at rest.
