Why Safety Directors Are Choosing SkillSignal
Over Visibility Platforms

Odin is a workforce-visibility and access-control platform. It is built to tell an owner who walked through the turnstile and whether their credentials are valid. That is a useful thing, but knowing who is on site is not the same as keeping them safe.

SkillSignal was built ground-up for the full safety, compliance, and risk lifecycle. We started in the New York and New Jersey metro area, the most heavily regulated construction market in the United States, so the red tape that other platforms bolt on later is automated in ours out of the box.

🛡️

A Safety Platform, Not a Gatekeeper

Odin centers on onboarding, credentials, and gate access. SkillSignal runs inspections, site observations, incident reporting, toolbox talks, an SDS library, and certification tracking, the actual day-to-day work of keeping a site safe.

Compliance You Automate, Not Just Store

We do not just hold copies of certs. SkillSignal automates NYC DOB Chapter 33 and Local Law 196 SST hour tracking, with auto-expiration alerts on OSHA 10, OSHA 30, SST, and every trade card. If we can handle the compliance density of NYC, we can handle your project anywhere.

Odin Was Built for the Control Room.
SkillSignal Was Built for the Front Line.

Odin's own markets tell the story: mission-critical infrastructure, government oversight, real-time monitoring, facial recognition, citizenship verification. It is a platform designed to watch a workforce from above. SkillSignal flips the script. We give power back to the worker.

We put your entire safety program in the palm of the hand of everyone on site.

👛

The Digital Wallet

Workers control their own profiles. They upload and manage their own SST cards, OSHA cards, and licenses right in the app, and carry that profile to every jobsite. No more chasing them for expired certs, and one-tap access to emergency protocols and muster points when it matters most.

💬

Two-Way, Not Top-Down

Odin's worker communication is one-way announcements pushed out by email and text. SkillSignal gives every worker instant two-way messaging, multilingual orientations, toolbox talks, and safety videos in their pocket, in 14+ languages. The crew is part of the conversation, not just the subject of it.

📈

Ownership Means Compliance

When you treat workers like professionals by giving them control of their own data and their own safety information, adoption rates skyrocket. A surveillance tool gets tolerated. A tool that works for the worker gets used.

Stop Buying a Mega-Project Surveillance System for a Job That Needs a Safety App

Odin cut its teeth on projects like Hudson Yards, with tens of thousands of workers, turnstiles, wall readers, and facial recognition. That is real engineering for owners managing enormous labor pools across mission-critical and government sites. But most general contractors and trade contractors do not need a campus surveillance system. They need a safety program their crews will actually use, and they need it today.

🎯

Laser Focus

We do one thing, total risk control, and we do it better than anyone else. Not labor analytics with a safety tab. Safety, compliance, and risk, full stop.

📱

An App Boots Will Actually Use

Odin's worker experience is built around check-in and credential capture. SkillSignal is designed like the apps your crew already uses every day. Fast, native, and intuitive, so the people in the field reach for it instead of working around it.

Live in 24 Hours

No hardware rollout, no enterprise integration project, no months of configuration. Because we are not trying to wire your entire campus, we can get your jobsite live in 24 hours.
