A single unregistered contract worker entering a hazardous zone. A contractor billing for 200 workers when only 150 showed up. A compliance audit revealing months of incomplete Form V records. These are not hypothetical risks — they are the daily reality of organisations managing large contract workforces without a proper system.
Fortuna’s CLMS digitises the entire contract labour lifecycle — from contractor onboarding and worker enrollment to daily biometric attendance, compliance validation, working hours monitoring, and payment processing. Every worker is biometrically verified at entry. Every hour is logged. Every compliance rule is enforced automatically. Every payment is backed by auditable data.
Deployed across India’s leading manufacturing plants, construction projects, and industrial facilities.

India’s Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 places strict compliance obligations on principal employers. Every contract worker must be registered. Working hours must be tracked. Rest periods must be enforced. Overtime must be documented. And the principal employer is jointly liable for violations committed by contractors operating on their premises.
Most organisations manage this with paper registers, contractor-submitted muster rolls, and spreadsheet reconciliation. The result is predictable. Ghost workers appear on contractor invoices — individuals who were never on site but whose attendance is fabricated to inflate billing. Compliance records are incomplete or backdated, creating liability during labour department inspections. Working hour violations go undetected because there is no real-time monitoring. And when accidents occur, the principal employer discovers that the injured worker was never properly enrolled in the system.
The financial cost is direct: inflated contractor invoices, compliance penalties, and legal liability. The operational cost is equally severe. Plant managers cannot get an accurate real-time headcount of who is on their premises. Security teams cannot enforce zone-based access for contract workers. HR teams spend weeks every month reconciling contractor billing against actual attendance.
When every worker must scan their fingerprint or face to enter the premises, ghost workers are eliminated. When every working hour is logged automatically against shift rules and rest period requirements, compliance becomes continuous instead of retrospective. When every contractor has a self-service portal showing their workers’ real attendance data, billing disputes disappear.
Ghost worker billing eliminated
Fewer contractor billing disputes
Manual steps in compliance record-keeping
Built for every team
Fortuna’s CLMS is used daily by five organisational roles — each with different compliance burdens, operational pressures, and reporting requirements.
You need to know exactly how many contract workers are on your premises right now — in which zone, under which contractor, and whether they are authorised to be there. Fortuna's CLMS gives you a real-time headcount dashboard by zone, by contractor, and by shift. Workers who are not enrolled, whose compliance documents have expired, or who attempt to enter restricted zones are blocked automatically at the gate.
Fortuna automates the compliance checks that currently consume your team's time — worker registration verification, working hours tracking against statutory limits, rest period enforcement, overtime documentation, and statutory record generation. When the labour inspector arrives, every record is exportable on demand.
Fortuna gives you a transparent view of each contractor's actual workforce deployment — how many workers showed up, how many hours they worked, and what the verified attendance data says versus what the contractor invoices. Billing disputes end because both parties work from the same biometric-verified data.
Fortuna's CLMS integrates with the access control system so that only enrolled, compliant contract workers can enter the premises. Workers whose documents have expired, whose contracts have ended, or who are flagged for safety violations are blocked at the gate — automatically, without manual checking.
Fortuna provides a verified, auditable attendance summary for every contractor, every worker, every month — with exact hours worked, overtime calculations, and deduction details. Payments are approved against biometric data, not self-reported muster rolls. This eliminates the overpayment problem that plagues manual contract labour billing.
Platform capabilities
Fortuna’s CLMS is not a standalone attendance tracker rebranded for contract labour. It is a purpose-built platform that covers the entire contract labour lifecycle — from contractor registration to worker exit — with biometric identity verification at its core.
Every contractor operating on your premises is registered with their company details, contract scope, validity dates, and authorised worker count. When a contract expires, all workers under that contractor are automatically deactivated — no manual revocation required. Contractors manage their own workforce through a dedicated self-service portal.
Every contract worker is enrolled with biometric data (fingerprint and/or face), a photograph, government ID details, skill certification, safety induction status, and medical fitness documentation. The system validates that all mandatory documents are present and current before granting gate access. Incomplete enrollments are flagged and blocked.
Each contractor gets a dedicated login to enroll new workers, update documents, view attendance reports, and track payment status. This removes the administrative burden from the principal employer's HR team and gives contractors transparent access to the same data that drives billing and compliance.
Every contract worker clocks in and out using fingerprint biometric devices or face recognition machines at the gate. Authentication takes under one second. The system records exact entry time, exit time, and total hours worked — eliminating the possibility of ghost workers, proxy attendance, or fabricated muster rolls. Attendance data feeds directly into compliance calculations and contractor billing.
Fortuna's CLMS integrates with the IoT access control system to enforce zone-based access for contract workers at every door, not just the main gate. A worker authorised for the production floor cannot enter the hazardous chemical storage area. A worker whose safety certification has expired is blocked from the plant entirely.
The dashboard shows exactly how many contract workers are on premises right now — by contractor, by zone, by shift, and by skill category. Plant managers and security teams use this for emergency evacuation planning, zone capacity enforcement, and real-time staffing visibility. When a muster point check is required, the count is instant.
Fortuna's CLMS automatically tracks and enforces working hours limits, weekly rest day requirements, and overtime documentation. The system generates statutory attendance records from biometric data, eliminating manual register maintenance entirely.
Configure maximum daily working hours, mandatory rest periods, weekly off requirements, and overtime limits per project or site. The system monitors every worker's hours in real time and flags violations before they occur — alerting the supervisor when a worker approaches an overtime threshold or has not taken a mandated rest break. Compliance is prevented, not documented after the fact.
Every worker document — safety induction certificate, medical fitness record, skill certification, contractor insurance — has an expiry date tracked in the system. When a document expires, the worker's gate access is automatically suspended until the document is renewed. No worker enters the premises with expired compliance documentation.
Generate verified attendance summaries per contractor — total workers deployed, total hours worked, overtime hours, and absentee days — all backed by biometric data. Compare contractor invoices against system records to identify discrepancies. This eliminates ghost worker billing and ensures that the principal employer pays only for verified, actual work.
Generate over 30 report types — daily attendance logs, monthly contractor summaries, compliance audit reports, overtime analysis, headcount trends, zone-wise deployment, and statutory record formats. All reports are exportable in Excel and PDF. Generate them for individual contractors, specific projects, or the entire facility.
Fortuna's CLMS integrates with your HRMS and payroll platform via REST API or formatted export. Contract worker attendance data — hours worked, overtime, deductions — feeds directly into your payment processing workflow. Compatible with SAP, Oracle, Zoho, greytHR, and any custom platform.

The CLMS lifecycle
Five steps from contractor registration to verified payment — fully automated, no manual input at any stage.
The principal employer registers each contractor with company details, contract scope, validity dates, insurance, and authorised worker count. The contractor receives a self-service portal login to manage their workforce.
Each contract worker is enrolled with fingerprint and/or face biometric data, a photograph, government ID, skill certifications, safety induction status, and medical fitness documentation. The system validates all mandatory documents before activating gate access.
The worker scans their fingerprint or face at the biometric device at the factory gate. The CLMS verifies identity, checks compliance status — active contract, valid documents, authorised shift — and grants or denies access in under one second. Entry and exit times are recorded automatically.
Throughout the working day, the CLMS tracks hours worked, overtime accumulation, rest periods, and zone-level access. If a worker approaches an overtime threshold, enters a restricted zone, or violates a shift rule, the system flags the event and alerts the supervisor.
At the end of the billing period, the CLMS generates verified attendance summaries per contractor. The principal employer compares invoices against biometric data, approves payments for verified work only, and exports compliance records for regulatory filing.
Industry coverage
Fortuna’s CLMS is deployed across industries where contract labour forms a significant portion of the workforce and where compliance, safety, and billing accuracy are non-negotiable. The platform is the same. The configuration, zone rules, and compliance parameters adapt to each environment.
Shift-based contract labour, zone-restricted access to hazardous areas, CLRA compliance, and contractor billing verification for hundreds or thousands of workers. Fortuna's CLMS manages steel plants, automotive factories, chemical processing units, and pharmaceutical facilities — with biometric gate entry and real-time headcount by zone.
