Ready for Every GC You Work With.

Running safety across a dozen different GCs shouldn't feel like this

A trade contractor's week, before SkillSignal:

Re-onboarding the same crew on a different system for every GC you work with.

Guys turned away at the gate because a cert never made it from the office to the field.

Chasing signatures on paper the GC needs by 7am tomorrow.

EMR creeping up because near-misses and observations never got logged.

Prequal questionnaires that take three days to answer and stall the bid.

Crews who speak five languages all handed the same English-only orientation.

SkillSignal replaces all of it, with one connected platform that travels with your crews and makes you the easiest sub on the job to work with.

One Platform. Every Crew. Every GC. Total Visibility.

Built for how trade work actually happens: crews moving between jobsites, every GC with a different system, and your name on the line for all of it.

In the field

Onboard your crew once, in their language

Every worker onboarded in their own language, with OSHA cards, SST hours, and trade certs scanned and verified. Carry that profile onto any jobsite instead of starting from scratch for every GC.

Foremen run the day without paper

Your foremen run daily logs, inspections, and observations from a phone, and satisfy the GC's requirements without a clipboard. Sign in a worker, flag a hazard, log a near-miss in under 30 seconds.

Prove compliance to every GC, instantly

Owners and safety leads see live compliance across every crew on every GC's jobsite. When a GC or an inspector asks for records, you pull them up in seconds instead of digging for a week.

Why trade contractors choose SkillSignal over the alternatives

You'll compare us to Procore, HammerTech, SiteDocs and SafetyCulture, plus the spreadsheets you are probably using now. Here's the honest difference.

Built for safety first, not bolted on

Unlike general PM platforms that added a safety module, SkillSignal was built ground-up for safety, compliance, and risk. It's the only thing we do, and it's the part of the job a sub gets graded on.

Works on every GC's jobsite, not just one

Your crews onboard once and carry that profile to every project. You stop re-entering the same workers into a new system every time you win a different GC's job.

Makes your next bid stronger

Clean records, a lower TRIR, and prequal answers you can produce in minutes instead of days. Safety becomes a reason GCs pick you, not a hoop you scramble through.

One price, one platform

No nickel-and-diming per module, per seat, or per add-on. Every worker on the project gets the full platform.

Plays nice with whatever the GC runs

Worker, project, and compliance data syncs both ways. No double entry, no swivel-chair workflows, no matter which platform the GC put you on.

Trade contractor FAQ

The questions subs actually ask before booking a demo.

Do I have to run a different system for every GC I work with?
No, that's the point. Your crews onboard into SkillSignal once, with their certs and SST hours verified, and that profile travels with them to every jobsite. You run one safety program instead of relearning a new portal for every GC who awards you work.
How fast can I get my crew approved at a new gate?
Most crews are gate-ready the same day. Workers onboard from their phones in their own language, upload certs once, and sign required documents before they ever show up. You stop losing billable hours to guys waiting in the trailer.
Will SkillSignal help me win more bids?
It helps you compete on the part of the bid that is hardest to fake. A lower TRIR, a stronger EMR, and complete digital records mean you can answer a prequal questionnaire in minutes and show a GC you are the low-risk sub before the job even starts.
How does it affect my EMR and insurance?
SkillSignal customers see an average 45% TRIR reduction and 50% fewer DART cases over 12 months. Fewer recordables and faster, better-documented incident response feed directly into a stronger EMR, which is what your carrier and your GCs are looking at.
Does it track OSHA 10/30, SST, and trade-specific certs?
Yes. SkillSignal was built in NY and NJ, the most heavily regulated US construction market. We track OSHA 10, OSHA 30, SST, and every trade card type with auto-expiration alerts, including NYC DOB Local Law 196 SST hour requirements.
Does it work offline on jobsites with poor cell coverage?
Yes. The worker and supervisor apps work fully offline. Orientations, inspections, observations, and incident reports capture locally and sync the moment the device reconnects.
What languages does the worker app support?
SkillSignal is available in 14 languages, including Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian, Arabic, French, and more. You can upload your own documents in any language, as many as you need. Language is never a barrier to compliance.
How is pricing structured for trade contractors?
Pricing is per project, not per seat, so adding a worker or a foreman never costs you more. Everyone on the crew gets the full platform. Book a demo for a custom quote based on your project mix.
Can workers without smartphones still use SkillSignal?
Yes. Workers without smartphones check in via gate-side turnstile scanning, supervisor-assisted onboarding, or printed QR-code worker profiles. Nobody on your crew is excluded from compliance because of device access.
