Frontline workforce software, from PortalBase.

Frontline workforce software is what a company uses to train, check, inform and keep records for the people who work away from a desk. This list is ours, so PortalBase comes first, with the reasons. The other tools follow A to Z, each described only by what its own pages say.

Why PortalBase leads this list.

Works with no signal.

Training, forms and inspections work offline on native iOS and Android apps, and sync on their own when the phone is back in range.

No company email needed.

People sign in with a code by text, an employee ID and PIN, or a QR badge on a shared device. The office uses single sign-on.

One system, one record.

Training, forms, inspections, safety records, corrective actions and communications share one list of people. A failed step opens a repair.

AI built in, and yours connects.

PortalBase AI answers from your own documents and drafts forms and trainings. Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot connect, acting only as the person who signed in.

A corrective action: Replace the cracked conveyor guard on the mill, marked Open, with what's wrong, an empty fix box that says Hector Ibarra records it with photos and a signature, and its owner, due date and who opened it.

What we already do better.

Signed in for 30 days with no signal.

After one sign-in with signal, people stay signed in for 30 days with no signal at all. Training, forms and inspections keep working the whole time.

Saved the moment it's done.

Work saves on the phone the moment it's done, and sends itself when signal is back. Nobody has to press sync.

One app for training, inspections and forms.

Teams do their training, inspections and forms in one app, with one sign-in and one record for each person.

The list.

PortalBase first, because this list is ours. The rest follow A to Z, each described only by its own pages.
