Powering UK industrial staffing — from temp to perm.
We are the neutral vendor recruitment software behind efficient industrial staffing — construction, warehousing, rail and utilities.
Hours, pay, invoices, right-to-work and statutory compliance all in the same system.
Built for hiring organisations, master vendors and agencies.
Every agency you use, in one list.
You run the sites. We give you one place to see the hours, the spend and the suppliers behind them — and it is free for you.
One list of hours, every agency
Friday’s hours from all your suppliers together, ready to approve. Your site managers stop logging into three portals and chasing the fourth by email.
See where people clocked in
Every clock-in records whether the worker was on site at the time. It is on the timesheet before you approve it.
Budgets that actually hold
Set a purchase order with a limit and a cost centre. Approved work draws it down, and when it would go over, the approval stops. You find out on the day.
Know who your suppliers are
Insurance, Companies House, VAT, REC or APSCo membership, GLA licence, Sentinel sponsorship — held against each agency and kept current, not a folder of PDFs from onboarding.
Asked for, and turned up
What you requested, which agencies took it, how many each promised, and how many arrived. If you are going to be short, you see it while it can still be fixed.
Hold the contract. Fill it with whoever can.
You are tier one: the client’s single supplier, subcontracting what you cannot cover yourself. That is a coordination job, and it is normally done on spreadsheets and trust.
Run your own labour first
You are an agency too. Shifts, hours, payroll across PAYE, CIS, umbrella and limited company, invoicing and a full ledger — all of it works today for the work you deliver yourself.
Route what you cannot coverIn build
Pass a requirement to tier-two agencies on the platform and keep one view of the whole contract, whoever is filling it. The client still deals with you.
See their compliance, not their marginsIn build
Check that a subcontractor’s workers hold the right cards and that their hours add up, without either of you seeing what the other charges.
Self-billing that reconciles itselfIn build
Raise self-billed invoices to your tier-two suppliers from the same approved hours you billed the client for, so the two sides of the contract cannot drift apart.
The clock still follows the worker
Whoever employs the worker stays their employer, with the payroll and right-to-work duties. The AWR clock attaches to the site, so routing someone through a different tier-one does not reset it.
From the shift to the books, in one system.
Most agency software does the front end and hands you a CSV. The bit it hands over is the bit that eats your week.
The whole chain
Raise a shift, fill it, capture the hours, run the payroll, send the invoice, post the ledger. Each step reads the one before it, so nothing is typed in twice.
Every employment type
PAYE, CIS, umbrella and limited company on the same site on the same day, with holiday, pension, advances and student loan handled.
Compliance that stops the booking
An out-of-date card, a turn that breaks the rest rules, an AWR clock about to hit twelve weeks — checked when someone is booked on, not found later.
Your clients stay yours
They are never listed or offered to another agency, and they do not have to be on the platform for you to use it.
Take work you could not coverIn build
Pick up subcontracted work from master vendors on the platform, with the cards checked on both sides and the hours agreed.
We run an agency ourselves
Bonim is built by people who supply industrial labour, and our own agency runs on it. Every payroll week, every invoice and every compliance check goes through the same system you would be using, before you ever see it.
You should know that either way, so we would rather say it here than have you find it later. It means the software is tested on real hours instead of on a demo — and it means we are in the same industry as our customers, which is worth weighing up. We never route work to ourselves, and the platform earns nothing from who fills a shift.
The checks happen before the shift
Most of the expensive mistakes in this industry are small ones spotted late. We do the checking at the point somebody is booked, so a problem stops the booking instead of turning up in an audit months later.
- If a card expired yesterday, the booking will not go through.
- If a rail turn would break the rest rules, we say so before it is booked.
- The 12-week AWR clock starts counting from week one, and you get told before it runs out.
- Right to work is checked once and reused, with the paperwork kept behind it.
And the people doing the work
Workers get an app for their shifts, their hours and their documents. Their cards and right-to-work check are done once and kept, so they are not proving the same things again every time they pick up work with someone new — and they decide who gets to see them.
For workers →What is ready
We are building this in the open, so here is where it has got to. Anything in the first row, we will show you working.
- Ready now
- Shifts and bookings. Timesheets with location. Compliance checks on cards, rest breaks and the AWR clock. Payroll across all four employment types. Invoicing and full accounts. The hiring organisation’s view of hours, spend and suppliers.
- In build
- Master vendors routing work to tier-two agencies, self-billing them, and seeing their compliance without seeing their margins. An open market for temp shifts.
- Later
- Training courses matched to the cards people are missing. Permanent placements and temp-to-perm conversion.
Come and have a look
We are working with a handful of hiring organisations, master vendors and agencies in construction and warehousing while we get this right. If you run site labour, or supply it, we would like to hear how you do it now.
