About WakeCap
WakeCap is a construction technology company that helps contractors understand what is happening on their job sites. Founded in 2016, it has operated in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, two of the world's largest construction markets.
The company uses small sensors attached to workers' hard hats, along with gateways placed around the site, to track where crews are working in real time. This data is turned into dashboards that show attendance, productivity, time spent in different areas and progress against plans.
Safety is a major use case. The system can alert managers if workers enter dangerous zones, help locate people in emergencies and support headcount checks during evacuations.
Contractors use the insights to plan labour better, identify bottlenecks and reduce delays, which can save significant costs on large projects.
Construction is one of the least digitised industries, and site managers often rely on manual timesheets and observations. Technology like WakeCap gives them objective data.
Gulf mega-projects employ huge workforces, making productivity and safety tools particularly valuable.
Startups UAE lists WakeCap among the region's construction technology startups.
