PortalBase vs ISNetworld.

ISNetworld collects the records your hiring clients ask for. PortalBase keeps them day to day: training with sign-offs and certifications, forms and inspections that work with no signal, and OSHA logs built from your incident reports. ISNetworld's site doesn't state offline use, inspections or OSHA logs.

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.

Why teams switch to PortalBase.

It works where the signal doesn't.

A basement, a cab, a cooler or a back lot. Training, forms and inspections save on the phone and send on their own when it's back in range. Nobody has to press sync.

One record, not five apps.

A failed step opens a repair with an owner and a date. A finished training updates a certification. Nothing gets retyped from one tool into the next.

OSHA logs from records you already keep.

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

Everyone gets a way in.

Plenty of frontline people have no company email. They sign in with a code by text, an employee ID and PIN, or a QR badge on a shared tablet, and the record is still theirs.

Training records: a table of people with how many trainings each has passed, not passed, waiting for sign-off, still open and overdue, with site, training and result filters and an Export CSV button.
