Team, logins & roles
Give every person their own secure login, set exactly what each one sees with tick-box permissions, add workers and their passports, and let owners on the tools switch between the dashboard and their own passport.
- A separate login for everyone
- Full or limited (tick-box) access
- Owners switch dashboard ↔ passport
Worker passports & connections
Give every worker a portable Worker ID that carries their compliance between employers — and link one passport to more than one company, both ways.
- Portable Worker ID for life
- App access & digital badge
- Two-way company ↔ worker connections
Property & lettings management
Run a whole portfolio: certificates and expiry tracking, tenancies, deposits, Right to Rent, licensing, inspections, rent and maintenance — with a live compliance score.
- Gas, EICR, EPC expiry tracking
- Tenancies, deposits & Right to Rent
- Maintenance jobs & landlord approval
Contractor network & maintenance jobs
Keep a vetted list of contractors with every insurance in date, then run maintenance jobs that block out-of-date contractors and route big spends to the landlord.
- Approved, insured contractors only
- AI reads insurance certificates
- Compliance gate + landlord approval
RAMS builder — every step
Generate a professional risk assessment and method statement tailored to your trade in minutes, get it signed off on site, and check subcontractors' RAMS too.
