HammerTech alternatives, from PortalBase.

HammerTech calls itself construction safety software, and we compare it with PortalBase on its own page. 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.

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.

OSHA logs from your records.

The 300, 300A and 301 come from your incident reports as PDFs, with the CSV for OSHA's ITA. You review and file.

PortalBase AI answering the question How do I lock out an excavator before working on it? Six numbered steps under From Excavator lockout, page 2, then a source card for the Excavator lockout document that quotes page 2.

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.
