SmartBarrel & Plexxis Join Forces to Eliminate Payroll Chaos & Time-Tracking Errors for Subs

MIAMI (Oct. 8, 2025) — SmartBarrel, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered biometric time-tracking solution for the construction industry, announced a native integration with Plexxis, a subcontractor-focused construction enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. The integration captures facially verified clock-ins from the field, aligns hours to Plexxis activity codes and syncs approved time directly into labor time logs, ending duplicate entry, cutting payroll disputes and giving subcontractors real-time cost accuracy.

For years, subcontractors have wrestled with paper timesheets, buddy-punching and delayed reporting, creating payroll bottlenecks and eroding cost control. SmartBarrel aims to address the problem at the source with AI-based facial verification on rugged jobsite devices and a simple kiosk app. By flowing that verified data directly into Plexxis, contractors eliminate errors, save admin hours and gain clear visibility into job costs while work is underway.

Purpose-built for specialty trades, Plexxis unites estimating, project management, accounting and field operations in a single platform. With SmartBarrel feeding verified timesheets directly into that backbone, subcontractors gain a continuous, end-to-end view from crew check-ins to payroll.

SmartBarrel automatically syncs employees, jobs, subsections and activity codes from Plexxis. Workers clock in and out on SmartBarrel’s device or kiosk app, where AI-powered facial verification ensures accuracy and accountability. Supervisors review, assign cost codes and approve hours, which then sync directly into Plexxis, streamlining payroll and locking in job-cost precision without double entry.
