The products this solution puts together.

Who holds what, and what happens when it runs out

Know who holds what, and what's about to run out.

Every certification shows how many people hold it, how many are expiring and how many have run out. Each person carries theirs on the phone.

Certifications: cards for Competent person, excavation, First aid and CPR, Flagger card and Forklift operator, each with how many hold it, are expiring and have run out, and a tab for the 2 expiring in the next 30 days.
The Certificates tab in the phone app's Training screen: the worker's First aid and CPR certification, good through April 7, 2028, marked Current.

Tell people when something happens.

A workflow can tell the person, a role or whoever manages work there. Here, a certification ran out: it tells the person, then has their manager sign to take them off that work.

The workflow builder showing A certification runs out: it starts when someone's certification runs out, tells the person, then has whoever manages work there sign to take them off that work, due in 1 day.

Know who has finished what.

One list for the sites you can see: who passed, who didn't, what's waiting for a sign-off and what's overdue. Export it when an auditor asks.

Training records: each person with how many trainings they passed, didn't pass, are waiting on a sign-off, still have open, and are overdue.

The card. The real one is in someone's truck. The copy is in a drawer at the office.

The lapse. A forklift card ran out last month. You find out when someone's already on the machine.

One record. In PortalBase each certification sits on the person's record with its expiry, and the alerts go out on their own.

When a card runs out

From the alert to the renewal

  1. Step 1

    Warn

    A workflow can start a number of days before a certification runs out.

  2. Step 2

    Tell

    It tells the person, and whoever manages work where they are.

  3. Step 3

    Hold

    That manager signs that the person is off that work until it's renewed.

  4. Step 4

    Renew

    The training that renews it can be handed out again. Passing it can issue the new certificate.

Records you can hand over

Ready when someone asks

  • Exports. Certificates as PDF. Training records as CSV.
  • One history per worker. Courses, skill checks, signatures and certs sit on the same history, and you can export it.
  • Every number opens its records. Who's current and who isn't, by site, team and role, with every number opening the records behind it.
  • Ask PortalBase AI. Ask which certifications run out soon. It reads the records as the person asking, so they only see what they could open in the app.
