Workyard picked a hard problem and does it well: GPS time records accurate enough for construction billing, hours coded to jobs and cost codes, payroll-ready output. If your business bills labor to construction projects, that precision is the product. A production crew needs the location-honest time record too, and Compass punches are geofenced for exactly that reason, but the site record does not stop at hours: gates scan credentials offline, incidents carry anonymous filing and manager sign-off, punch lists and daily logs close out the build, and gear moves with a custody chain.

A production closes out on more than a timesheet: the incident chain, the punch list, the daily log, the custody trail on gear. Compass keeps them on one org store with the hours.
Credentialed sites need a gate that scans offline and journals every result. A time tracker has no gate; Compass treats it as a first-class surface.
Per-user pricing on a 300-hand build week is real money. Per-org pricing is not.
We're not the right call for every room. These are the cases where they are.
