HammerTech vs MSite

Two platforms general and principal contractors use to get workers and subcontractors onto site compliantly, built around different centres of gravity. HammerTech is a construction safety platform (orientations, JHAs, pre-task plans, permits, inspections, incidents, daily reports and site access) with AI embedded in some safety workflows, free for subcontractors. MSite, part of the Infobric Group, is workforce and supply chain assurance software with its own facial recognition and turnstile hardware, card checks against the CITB database and visibility below Tier 1. Not a like-for-like pair: HammerTech leads with safety workflows; MSite leads with site access, identity and supply chain checks. Neither publishes prices. Desk research from vendor sites read Oct 30, 2026; no winner.

What it doesConstruction safety platform for subcontractor management, worker orientations, safety plans, permits, inspections, incidents and site access, built for commercial and infrastructure contractors managing multiple job sites. Modules listed cover subcontractor management, worker orientations, JHAs, SDS, safety plans, pre-task plans, permits, safety meetings, logistics, equipment compliance, inspections, observations, incidents, daily reports and site access. The HammerTech Intelligence page says AI is embedded in SDS autofill, pre-task plan meeting capture, observation photo recognition and site diary summaries, drafts summaries and reports inside the workflow for review, and keeps every output transparent and editable, with people making the safety decisions; the vendor says the AI is trained on safety process context such as permits, hazards and inductions (vendor claim). Integrations listed: HammerTech Sync for Procore (projects, subcontractors and locations in; labor hours and worker counts out to the Procore Daily Log), Autodesk project and subcontractor sync, CMiC, Sage Intacct, Acumatica, Eyrus, Kwant (smart badges and sensors), LUMA1, facial recognition turnstiles and an open API. The vendor says it was built by former safety professionals. Customer counts, stories and quotes are vendor content and are not used.Construction supply chain assurance and workforce management software for principal contractors, part of Infobric Group, with Global, UK, US, Swedish and Norwegian regional sites. It sells pre-registration, online inductions in 30+ languages, identity and right-to-work vetting, time and attendance, access control, briefings, fatigue management, RAMS and visitor management, with an authorised CITB API that checks CSCS and other cards and blocks access when they expire; the Software menu also lists Timesheets, Delivery Management and Labour Requisitioning. Hardware includes MSite Face facial recognition and Face Mini clocking stations (the FAQ says they detect photographs or AI-generated images and deny access; vendor statement), the Pod (a container with a full-height turnstile, biometric reader and lockable door) and full- and half-height turnstiles. Supply Chain Assurance maps the project-specific contractor hierarchy below Tier 1 and links workers to their employers; the FAQ says it can be piloted on one project and does not guarantee legal or regulatory compliance. Packages also mention automated reporting on workforce diversity, training, safety and community engagement, and carbon reporting on site materials through supply chain integrations. A Procore integration syncs workers to the Procore directory, and biometrically verified sign-ins populate Procore timesheets and appear as timecard and manpower entries in the daily log. No AI is described. Customer and worker counts are vendor claims and are not used.

Pricing (as publicly stated)No published prices; GC pricing is tailored (Get Pricing Details). The pricing page says HammerTech does not use per-user pricing (unlimited users) and prices on annual construction volume, company size and operational complexity, and the level of onboarding and support required; its FAQ also names the number of active job sites. All core workflows are included rather than sold as modules, with implementation, onboarding, training, support, integrations and security included. HammerTech is free for subcontractors, with access provided by the general contractor managing the project. The page says it is not the right fit for very small teams, single projects or basic checklists. Confirm pricing with the vendor.No public prices: the Pre-Site, On-Site and In-Site packages each show Get a Quote and Enquire with no figures, an online quote form leads to a tailored quote from the sales team, and msite.com/pricing returns a not-found page. The FAQ says software modules can be bought standalone or together, with hardware options alongside. Confirm pricing with the vendor.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What each covers (vendor pages): HammerTech's menus list subcontractor management, orientations and worker info, JHAs, SDS, safety plans, pre-task plans, permits, safety meetings, logistics, equipment compliance, inspections, site observations, incidents and injuries, daily reports and site access. MSite lists pre-registration, online inductions, identity checks, time and attendance, access control, timesheets, briefings, delivery management, fatigue management, labour requisitioning, RAMS, visitor management and Supply Chain Assurance.
  • Site access and identity: MSite sells its own hardware (Face and Face Mini facial recognition clocking stations, the Pod turnstile unit and full- and half-height turnstiles); its access control page says the readers deny access to someone presenting a photograph or AI-generated image (vendor statement), and its FAQ says an authorised CITB API checks CSCS, CPCS, CISRS, SSSTS, SMTS and other cards. HammerTech's integrations page lists facial recognition turnstiles and an Eyrus integration for site access and labor hours.
  • Procore: HammerTech Sync brings project details, subcontractors and locations from Procore into HammerTech and sends labor hours by trade partner and worker counts to Procore's Daily Log. MSite's Procore page says worker details from pre-registration can sync to the Procore directory and time and attendance from its apps, Face Mini stations or turnstiles syncs automatically. Our information on either integration comes from vendor websites (desk research).
  • Where AI fits: HammerTech is tagged AI features added to established product; its HammerTech Intelligence page lists SDS autofill, pre-task plan meeting capture, observation photo recognition and site diary summaries, with drafts ready to review and submit. MSite is tagged Not AI-first; its pages describe facial recognition hardware but no AI features.
  • Market fit (vendor pages): HammerTech says it is built for commercial and infrastructure contractors managing multiple job sites and is not the right fit for very small teams or single projects. MSite's pages are UK-centred (CSCS cards, right-to-work checks, CIS and Gross Payment Status), with US, Swedish and Norwegian regional sites.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 30, 2026): HammerTech publishes no prices; it does not use per-user pricing and prices on annual construction volume, active job sites, company size and complexity and the level of onboarding and support, and it is free for subcontractors. MSite publishes no prices; its packages show Get a Quote, and its FAQ says software modules can be bought independently or together, with hardware options alongside.
  • Not used here: customer counts, customer quotes and outcome claims on either site (vendor material). Facts for both tools come from vendor websites (desk research).

Questions to ask in your review

  • Whether your gap is safety workflows across many sites (HammerTech) or gate-level identity, card checks and supply chain visibility (MSite)
  • What each costs for your volume, sites and hardware, since neither publishes figures
  • How MSite's UK card checks map to US credentials, and how HammerTech's turnstile partners compare with MSite's own hardware
  • What did you use it for, on what kind of work and project size?
  • How long did setup and training take, and who on your team did it?
  • What does it cost you in practice, compared with what the sales call said?
