A spreadsheet is usually the second system a company tries: someone types the paper sheets into Excel so leadership can see totals. It solves visibility of the data while leaving the data itself unverified.
It records what the transcriber typed, from sheets of unknown accuracy, entered days after the meetings. Every cell is editable forever, by anyone with access, invisibly. As management data it is useful; as evidence it is testimony about paper.
Someone spends hours weekly retyping clipboard sheets — a job that exists only because the capture method was wrong. Verified check-in eliminates the transcription along with the verification gap.
A signature proves somebody wrote a name. An Arkvos check-in records a photo of the worker, GPS coordinates, and a timestamped attendance record, sealed at the moment of scan. That is the difference between saying a worker was trained and showing who was standing at the briefing.
Briefings from every branch appear on one dashboard as they happen, with attendance counts climbing as workers scan in. Paper cannot tell you a briefing happened until the sheet travels; Arkvos tells you while the crew is still gathered.
A spreadsheet can hold the required fields, but its credibility inherits from the source documents behind it. If those are unverifiable paper sheets — or nothing — the spreadsheet adds organization without adding proof.
Attendance history is exportable, so analysts can work in whatever tool they like — with the difference that every row traces back to a sealed, verified check-in.
Plans start at $89 per month, with unlimited participants and check-ins on every plan. Operator and Place limits vary by plan, with no hardware required. The free 14-day trial requires no credit card, and the platform supports teams from 10 to 100,000 workers.
No. Workers scan a QR code and check in through the browser on their own phone. There is no app, no login, and no account to create.
Attendance records are retained and remain exportable for as long as your organization needs them. OSHA retention requirements vary by standard — some training records must be kept for the duration of employment — so records that cannot be lost or discarded are safer than any paper retention policy.
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.
Arkvos separates product capabilities from regulatory requirements. For federal OSHA requirements, the primary authority is OSHA's current regulations and guidance. California construction employers should also review the applicable Cal/OSHA Title 8 requirements.
OSHA 29 CFR 1904.33 requires the OSHA 300 Log, annual summary, OSHA 301 Incident Report forms, and privacy case list if one exists to be retained for five years after the end of the calendar year they cover. Cal/OSHA Title 8 §1509(e) requires construction supervisors to conduct toolbox or tailgate safety meetings, or equivalent, with crews at least every 10 working days. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and work activity, so employers should verify the rule that applies to their facts.
