Questions contractors ask
Straight answers about what DigiContractor does, what it does not, and where your data goes.
The basics
What is DigiContractor?
DigiContractor is an Android app for construction contractors. The Owner and site Supervisors use it to mark worker attendance by face, record IN and OUT times, and work out salaries with overtime, advances and deductions.
Is it available now?
Yes. DigiContractor is available on Google Play for Android phones. Open the Google Play listing.
Which phones does it work on?
Android phones. There is no iPhone version.
Do workers need a phone or the app?
No. Workers do not install anything and do not have accounts. Their attendance is recorded by a Supervisor or the Owner pointing a phone camera at them.
Which languages does the app support?
English and Hindi. You can switch in the app settings.
Is there a web version?
Owners can sign in to the Owner Web Dashboard, a view-only page that shows each site’s attendance for a chosen date. Everything else is done in the Android app.
Face attendance
How does face attendance work?
Each worker is registered once with a photo. To mark attendance, the Supervisor takes a photo of one worker or a group and presses scan. The app detects the faces and matches them against the registered workers, then shows the recognised names to check before submitting.
Is face recognition always correct?
No, and we do not claim that it is. Results depend on light, distance, camera quality and whether faces are covered. The Supervisor should always check the recognised list, and can scan again with a single photo for anyone who was missed.
Does DigiContractor use AI?
The face attendance feature uses on-device machine-learning models to detect and match faces. That processing happens on the phone, and face data is not sent to any outside AI or face-recognition service.
Where is workers’ face data stored?
When a worker is registered, the app saves a small face thumbnail and a face template (a list of numbers used only to recognise the worker) in the database. The full-size registration photo is not uploaded — it stays on the phone that took it. Face data is not sent to any outside AI or face-recognition service. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Do I need my workers’ permission?
Yes. Because workers do not sign up themselves, the Owner is responsible for telling workers that face-based attendance is used and for obtaining any consent the law requires before adding them.
Does the app track workers’ location?
No. Location permission is optional. In the current version, location is not added to attendance records and is not uploaded.
Payroll
How is salary calculated?
For each worker and month, the app uses the attendance already recorded together with the daily rate and overtime rate you set, then subtracts advances and deductions to show the net salary. You should review the figures before paying.
Does DigiContractor pay my workers?
No. The app keeps the record of what is owed and what you have paid. It does not transfer money.
Roles and access
What can a Supervisor see?
A Supervisor works on their assigned site: its workers and its attendance. Supervisors cannot open payroll, advances or payments.
How do supervisors join my company?
Either share your Company Code so they can enter it at sign-up, or add them yourself with their phone number, site and designation.
How many sites and workers can I have?
That depends on the plan. See Pricing for the planned limits.
Pricing and billing
How much does it cost?
Prices are not published on this website. Plans are sized by sites and workers: see the Pricing page.
How will I pay?
Subscriptions will be sold inside the Android app and billed through Google Play. This website does not take payments, and DigiContractor never sees your card or bank details.
Data and privacy
Is my data secure?
Data is stored with Google Firebase and sent over encrypted connections. Access is controlled by sign-in and by database security rules that check each user’s role, company and assigned site. No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so please keep your phone and password safe and remove supervisors who no longer work with you.
Do you sell data or show ads?
No. Worker data is not used for advertising and is not sold to anyone.
How do I get my data deleted?
The page Delete your account explains the ways to ask, what is deleted, what is kept and how long it takes. You can also email santoshlama2343@gmail.com. The Privacy Policy explains retention in full.
