Albert Bou Fadel

Albert Bou Fadel is the Founder and CEO of SmartBarrel transformed his firsthand contracting experience into innovative technology. Raised in the construction industry, Albert worked in the field for over 10 years as a project manager, specializing in glass and glazing projects worldwide. His role involved managing hundreds of workers and during that time he explored various methods to track time from the field. Realizing the inadequacies of existing time tracking solutions, which were often overly reliant on apps, overly complex, or lacking in real-time connectivity, Albert engaged with fellow contractors to understand their time tracking processes. These conversations highlighted a significant pain point in the industry.

Driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to addressing this gap, Albert set out to create a solution that would not only meet the requirements of the office but would also win over the field. The result is SmartBarrel, a dynamic time tracking solution offering 100% accurate timesheets. It features durable, easy-to-use hardware and a live dashboard, facilitating dynamic job costing and improving data flow between the field and the office. This blend of practicality and innovation reflects Albert's unique perspective as a contractor-turned-techie and his dedication to improving industry practices.
