Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Site access: BiltOn lists SMS or QR self-onboarding, 3D facial recognition access control, digital turnstiles, real-time headcount and credential and certification checks before entry. innDex offers biometric facial recognition turnstiles, portable facial recognition units and tablets, or a mobile app that lets workers clock in only inside a geofenced site boundary; its FAQ says it can retrofit its units onto existing turnstiles and offers software-only time and attendance on client-owned devices.
  • Safety workflows: BiltOn lists mandatory pre-task plans with supervisor sign-off and escalation, permits that block work until sign-off, a JHA library, observations, multilingual toolbox talks with 200+ topics and compliance dashboards, with forms aimed at OSHA recordkeeping and NYC DOB site safety plans. innDex lists incidents, observations, inspections and audits, permits, toolbox talks, JHAs (RAMS on the UK site) and daily or point-of-work risk assessments.
  • Beyond safety: innDex also covers competency management with expiry alerts, fatigue and time management, timesheets, briefings, delivery tickets, equipment, temporary works, progress photos, site messaging, daily logs, quality checklists, punch lists and emissions tracking. BiltOn focuses on workforce, safety and risk, with subcontractor management and portfolio dashboards.
  • AI: BiltOn's Risk Prevention module describes AI-powered risk scoring, behavioral analytics, automated intervention alerts and EMR optimization, and is tagged AI features added here. innDex's homepage does not describe AI; its news posts describe AI delivery notes in pilot and a partnership for AI safety reporting, so it is tagged Not AI-first.
  • Integrations and security: BiltOn syncs attendance to the Procore Daily Log every 15 minutes and attaches safety forms as PDFs, and its site now shows an Autodesk integration tab and mentions an open API; it states SOC 2 Type II. innDex names Asite, Procore and SustainIQ integrations and public APIs, and states Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 certification.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 22, 2026): neither publishes prices. BiltOn's pricing page lists three modules (Workforce Management, Safety & Compliance Management, Risk Prevention at Scale), each Custom and customized to project volume and complexity. innDex's FAQ says to contact sales for pricing.
  • Not used here: BiltOn's outcome, admin-hours and savings figures, innDex's homepage counters, and customer case studies and quotes from both (vendor material). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
