How many hours a week do supervisors spend chasing timesheets?
Chasing, correcting and re-keying produces nothing, and nobody bills for it — which is exactly why it stays invisible.
Water & wastewater · field operations
Eiro Work is the phone app for crews who maintain buried networks. Hours, evidence and sign-off are captured where the work happens — so the week is already written down before anyone opens a spreadsheet.
For utilities, contractors and maintenance providers in the UK.
The problem
Hours get remembered on Friday. Photos sit in a camera roll or a WhatsApp thread. The paperwork proving a job was done properly is filed somewhere, by someone. Three questions worth answering about your own operation.
Chasing, correcting and re-keying produces nothing, and nobody bills for it — which is exactly why it stays invisible.
The answer is either minutes, or a search through phones, inboxes and filing. That gap is what an audit actually tests.
Without a record of where and when the work happened, disputes resolve on memory — usually in whichever direction is easiest.
One job, end to end
These are the work-order states the product actually uses. Each captures what it needs at the moment it is true, and hands the next one something it can rely on.
Today's work arrives on the phone with the site, access notes and priority attached. No depot whiteboard, no phone call to find out what changed overnight.
Photos, checklists and walkaround checks record against the work order itself. What the crew saw on site is what the office sees — nothing re-keyed, nothing lost in a thread.
Clock-in confirms the crew is on site. With consent, the app detects arriving and leaving on its own, so time is recorded without anyone tapping a phone with wet gloves.
Supervisors approve work, timesheets and leave from the same app, with the evidence attached to what they are approving. Approval becomes a decision, not an act of reconstruction.
Scope
The sequence above is the spine. These are the parts of the job it has to survive contact with.
DVSA-style daily checks with defect reporting, recorded against the vehicle and the driver.
Completed before work starts, with a hard stop when a control is not in place.
Work orders tie to the asset and the project, so history follows the network rather than the paperwork.
Requests and remaining balance in the app, so nobody emails a supervisor to ask.
Receipts captured on the phone, approvals routed to whoever holds the limit.
Ask about jobs, hours or what is outstanding — by voice when hands are busy.
Chambers and rural sites lose signal. Uploads retry rather than dropping the evidence.
Conversations that can become tasks, so a message does not quietly become the only record.
Sites, teams, roles and approval limits configured through a setup flow, not a spreadsheet handover.
Eight months later
This is the part that matters to a regulator, an insurer, or a payroll dispute. Not that the work was done — that you can show it.
Who builds it
Eiro Work is built by Amelio — a civil-engineering and surveying contractor working on water, sewer, rail and power infrastructure across the UK and Ireland since 2012, with more than a hundred engineers and skilled operatives in the field. Asset surveys, leak detection, trenchless works: the jobs this app was written to record. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified.
