Why tradies choose us

Built for the ute, not the office

No more folders of paper in the glovebox. SiteConnect keeps your safety documents, forms and crew records in one app, ready to pull up on site or hand to an auditor.

Everything on your phone

SWMS, prestarts, inductions and your document depository — all in the one app, working offline on site with no signal.

Minutes, not paperwork nights

Reuse a SWMS from the job before, fill in a prestart in under two minutes, and log the site diary while the ute's still running.

Ready if WorkSafe asks

Every form, sign-off and inspection is timestamped and stored — pull up your records in seconds, not a scramble through the truck.

The platform

One app for everything you need to stay compliant

From the SWMS you write before the job to the diary you keep during it, SiteConnect covers the whole day — office to job site.

SWMS management

Build a SWMS once, reuse it every job

Write your safe work method statement from a template library built for NZ trades, tailor it to the task, and get your crew to sign on before they start. No re-typing the same hazards and controls every time you turn up to a new site.

  • Trade-specific templates for common high-risk work
  • Digital sign-off from every worker, before work starts
  • Version history if a task or crew changes mid-job

Site diaries

A daily record, without the notebook

Log weather, crew on site, deliveries, delays and progress photos as the day happens. When a client asks what happened on a wet Tuesday three months back, or a variation needs proving, you've got the answer in the app.

  • Weather, crew, plant and deliveries logged in a couple of taps
  • Photos attached against the day, searchable later
  • Export a job's full diary as a PDF for a client or dispute
Digital audits, prestarts & inspections

A prestart in under two minutes

Run your prestart checks, toolbox talks and plant inspections as digital forms your crew fills out from their phone. Fail a question and a corrective action is raised on the spot — with a photo, so nobody has to explain it twice.

  • Prestarts, toolbox talks and plant checks in one form library
  • Corrective actions assigned and chased automatically
  • Works offline, syncs once you've got signal again

And the rest

Everything else that keeps a job compliant

Incident reporting

Report an incident from the site, with photos and a guided investigation, the moment it happens.

Safety observations

Log a near-miss or good catch in seconds — small stuff that stops the big stuff.

Training & inductions

Induct new starters and casuals on their phone, and track every worker's competencies in one place.

Asset register

Track plant and equipment, service dates and inspection tags against every asset you own.

Built for New Zealand

Your HSWA duties, covered

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, a PCBU must eliminate or minimise risk, consult with workers, and manage the risks of the work you do. SiteConnect gives you the record WorkSafe and your principal contractors expect — SWMS on file, prestarts done, workers inducted, and incidents reported when they happen.

Built for the way New Zealand tradies actually work, and used by contractors across the country.

PCBU duty of care
Consultation with workers and evidence of risk controls, recorded every time.
Notifiable events
Incidents reported from the app with photos, investigation and sign-off.
Principal contractor requests
Share your SWMS, policy and prequal documents to any head contractor in one link.
Audit-ready export
Export any job's full compliance record to PDF when WorkSafe or a client asks.

See it running on your own jobs

Half an hour, no obligation. We'll build one of your real SWMS or prestarts on the call so you can see exactly how it fits your day.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a big company to use SiteConnect?

No. It's built for small crews and sole traders — you can be up and running with your first SWMS and prestart the same day.

Can my whole crew use it, or just me?

Everyone on the job — add your whole crew and subbies at no extra hassle, so SWMS sign-offs and prestarts capture everyone who needs to be on record.

Can I reuse a SWMS or prestart from a previous job?

Yes. Save any form as a template, then reuse and tweak it for the next job instead of starting from scratch.

What are my duties as a PCBU under HSWA?

As a person conducting a business or undertaking, you must eliminate or minimise risks so far as reasonably practicable, consult with your workers, and provide the information, training and supervision they need. SiteConnect records each of those steps as you go about your normal day.

Can I share my documents with a head contractor or client?

Yes. Share a folder or a single document — your H&S policy, insurance certificate or a SWMS — with a link, without giving them access to everything else.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is based on your crew size — talk to us or start a free trial and we'll walk you through the plan that fits.
