Layer 1
The foundation of everything. This layer captures real operational events on site - attendance, tasks, inspections, handovers and material movement. If it happens on a construction site, it starts here.
Digital attendance with GPS, ability to connect to biometrics and time recording. Know who's on every site in real time.
Assign work to individuals or gangs. Track progress, completion and re-work. Mobile task acceptance.
Flag when a work area is ready - or not. Prevents wasted time and captures the reason for delays.
From instruction, record completion and pass work to the next trade. Accountability at every transition point.
Request materials from site. Orders flow to the yard or office for approval. Track fulfilment and returns.
Run safety and quality inspections on site. Log issues, assign corrective actions, close out with evidence.
Supervisor dashboard for managing gangs, sign-offs, daily diaries and site-level reporting.
Toolbox talks, near miss reporting, harness & tool inspections, RAMS acceptance and daily start-right checks. Full safety compliance on every site.
Layer 2
Controls physical assets and movement across all projects. Yard stock, kit, vehicles and deliveries - managed centrally, allocated to sites, tracked in real time.
Track equipment allocation, usage, across every site. Know what's where and what's being used and what's not.

Layer 3
Where site activity becomes commercial and financial visibility. This is the layer that converts operational data into the numbers directors, commercial managers and finance teams need.
