What it doesJobsite safety and productivity app that puts information in crews' hands, with site-worker features and Procore and Autodesk integrations. Re-read Oct 18, 2026: features include digital pre-task plans and JHAs, subcontractor pre-mobilization document collection through a no-login invite link (site safety plans, SDS), permits, digital site sign-in with a live worker directory, mobile orientations completed off site or by QR code (sessions in English, Spanish and other languages), and stored worker licenses and tickets that follow workers between projects. The two-way Procore integration files orientations, certifications, PTPs and JHAs into Procore Documents by project and subcontractor and turns attendance into manpower hours and visitor logs in the Procore Daily Log; the Autodesk integration syncs orientations, PTPs, permits, attendance and safety documents into Autodesk Files and Forms.

Re-read Oct 18, 2026: the iOS and Android app covers incident reports, site attendance, worker orientation, JHAs with signatures, an SDS library and safety audits, and workers control their own profiles; field data rolls into timestamped daily reports, each active project carries a compliance score, and reports include observation scoring, incident logs and an executive summary. It also lists access control and contractor management, time and attendance, digital forms, inspections and turnstile integration, says it is integrated with Procore (listed in the Procore Technology Marketplace) and feeds Power BI. The pricing page names AI job hazard analysis among features a team can add, and the homepage describes smart automation that drafts logs and flags risks while people make every call; no page we could read describes the AI, so we keep the Not AI-first tag.

A new AI Profile page linked from the footer (rendered in a headless browser) lists AI-driven job hazard analysis and automated pre-task planning among platform features and points to skillsignal.ai, which showed only a headline (create job hazard analyses and pre-task plans in seconds).
