PortalBase vs SALUS.

Both work offline, both track training and certifications, and both have AI. PortalBase also signs people in with a text code, an employee ID and PIN, or a QR badge, connects your own AI tools and builds your OSHA logs from your incident reports. SALUS doesn't state those on its site.

PortalBase and SALUS, side by side.

Every line about SALUS comes from its own pages, with the source number beside it.

  • Works with no signal

    PortalBase

    Yes

    Training, forms and inspections work with no signal on native iOS and Android apps, and sync when the phone is back in range.

    SALUS

    Yes

    Says workers fill out JHAs and inspections offline and everything syncs when signal returns. Its help center says scanning a QR code "can't be done offline."[1][3]

  • Sign-in with no company email

    PortalBase

    Yes

    A code by text, an employee ID and PIN, or a QR badge on a shared device. Company single sign-on for the office.

    SALUS

    In part

    PortalBase

    Yes

    Training, forms, inspections, safety records, corrective actions and communications share one list of people and one record.

    Says its assistant, Rosie, drafts controls, talks and forms, and puts together source-linked answers for a person to approve.[1]

  • Your own AI connects

    PortalBase

    Yes

    PortalBase is listed in Claude's connector directory and ChatGPT's app directory. Microsoft 365 Copilot connects too. Each connection acts only as the person who signed in.

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.

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.

Your own AI, acting as you.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot. PortalBase is listed in Claude's and ChatGPT's directories, and each connection sees only what that person can.

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.

Common questions

Can workers with no email use PortalBase?
Yes. They sign in with a code by text, an employee ID and PIN, or a QR badge on a shared device. However they sign in, the training, forms and signatures are theirs.
Is PortalBase only for construction?
PortalBase is built for frontline teams in every industry: construction, energy, utilities, manufacturing, transportation, aviation, warehouses, retail and more. Each company sets it up with its own sites, roles and words.
Can I move my SALUS forms over?
PortalBase AI drafts a form or an inspection from a sentence, or from a photo of the form you use now. A person checks it and publishes. Bring one of yours to a walkthrough and we'll rebuild it with you.
