The WebApp platform is designed to help construction businesses promote health and safety at their sites.

The platform provides a range of plugins that can be enabled per site, depending on the specific needs of the business.

These plugins include: Telematics: This plugin allows construction businesses to track and trace equipment on site, providing real-time data from machines such as vans, trucks, excavators, and loaders. CO2 Footprint: This plugin helps businesses measure and reduce the carbon footprint of their project. It provides tools to measure the total fuel used on site and the impact this has on air quality. Site Safety Reporting: This plugin streamlines project communication by providing real-time data as project team members post safety issues in the project feed. It guides users through applicable HSE reporting and record-keeping processes after a safety incident occurs. Environmental Impact: The platform also provides guidance for businesses to measure and report their environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding and reporting these impacts can help identify ways of improving environmental performance and cutting costs. Structurally, the webapp will likely take the form of a Web client for Desktop & Mobile Use, and an App client for the Android PDAs common in the industry. Behind the scenes, it would likely be a master database with a relational silo for each module, and all communication to be done via the App.
