Vector Solutions is a training and compliance platform. Arkvos is a safety briefing attendance verification tool. Those are not the same product, and for a number of buyers Vector Solutions is the correct choice. This page explains the actual difference so you can tell quickly which side of it you are on.
Training content library. Vector Solutions offers extensive online safety training courses with completion tracking, which is genuinely valuable for formal training requirements.
Vector documents that a worker completed an online course. Arkvos documents that a worker attended an in-person briefing at a jobsite. Both are training records; they cover different obligations. OSHA's site-specific hazard communication requirements are not satisfied by a generic online module, and vice versa.
Vector Solutions uses per-user subscription, typically annual. Arkvos is $349 per month, flat, with unlimited workers, or $3,490 annually. The practical consequence is that the comparison inverts with crew size: per-user pricing is cheaper for very small teams and materially more expensive as headcount grows. Settle your enrolled headcount before comparing anything else, because it determines the answer more than any feature does.
Choose Vector Solutions if the requirement is formal, curriculum-based training with course completion records.
Choose Arkvos if the requirement is documenting site-specific briefings — toolbox talks, pre-task plans, shift-start hazard communication — delivered in person.
Arkvos is not a full EHS suite. It does not manage incident investigations, corrective action workflows, chemical inventories, ergonomics assessments, or sustainability reporting. It documents that a specific worker attended a specific safety briefing at a specific place and time, and produces an audit package proving it. If you need a broad platform, buy one — and if attendance evidence is the gap in it, add this underneath.
Usually not. Vector Solutions is a training and compliance platform; Arkvos verifies safety briefing attendance. Many companies run both. Replacement makes sense only if attendance documentation was the main reason you were evaluating Vector Solutions in the first place.
Vector Solutions uses per-user subscription, typically annual. Arkvos is a flat $349 per month with unlimited workers. Below roughly fourteen enrolled workers, per-user pricing is often cheaper; above it, flat pricing costs less and the gap widens with headcount.
That a specific individual was physically present. A signature or a form submission records that data was entered. Arkvos captures a live photo and GPS coordinates inside a jobsite geofence, sealed with a SHA-256 hash at the moment of capture, so later modification is detectable.
Yes, and many companies do. Vector Solutions handles its scope; Arkvos supplies the attendance evidence layer. Arkvos also pushes records into Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud where those are connected.
A supervisor can run a verified briefing the same day. Workers scan a QR code in their phone browser — no app install, no device provisioning, no implementation project.
Arkvos offers a free OSHA citation response generator. Upload the citation and get a formal response letter, a corrective action plan with dates, and a checklist of evidence to attach. Employers have 15 working days from receipt of a citation to contest it. Open the free citation responder.
