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.
What their users say
“this app has a habit of kicking users out every two months”
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.
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.
