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.

Training that proves itself.

Bring in your PDFs, slide decks and SCORM courses. Add a quiz or a sign-off, and certifications alert before they lapse.

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.

AI that knows your procedures.

PortalBase AI answers from your own documents and records and shows the page it used. It drafts forms, trainings and workflows from a sentence, and a person publishes them.

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.

The training builder with a hot mix safety training open. Steps to add down the left (PDF, video, read, quiz, checklist), the training's first step in the middle, and Try it and Publish buttons at the top.
