Onboarding software for construction is no longer a back-office concern. For contractors operating in Ireland, the UK and New York, it’s become a critical site tool—essential for verifying compliance, improving access control and streamlining how workers get onto site.
Whether you’re delivering a data centre outside Dublin, an infrastructure scheme in Manchester or a high-rise in Brooklyn, you need a reliable way to confirm every worker is trained, documented and ready. And you need it fast.
Boxcore is used by over 200 contractors across Ireland, the UK and the USA—including Tier One contractors, subcontractors, and general builders—to remove admin friction from site onboarding and give teams the real-time visibility they need. Here’s what matters most when choosing onboarding software that actually works in the field.
Construction doesn’t stop for clunky software. From New York superintendents to Irish site foremen and UK site managers, everyone needs to be able to onboard workers quickly—with minimal training.
Boxcore was built for frontline use, not just head office. It works directly from a mobile phone or tablet, allowing your team to:
Whether you’re onboarding a handful of subcontractors on a fit-out job or 500 workers across a multi-phase infrastructure project, Boxcore scales with ease.
“We designed Boxcore to ensure adoption with frontline staff and subcontractors, so whether you’re onboarding 20 workers or 500, it’s intuitive, fast, and scalable.”
— Padraig Reilly, CEO & Founder of Boxcore

An effective onboarding system doesn’t stop at entering names. It must confirm that each worker has completed their induction, holds the right certifications, and is safe to start work.
Boxcore allows contractors to run fully digital inductions tailored to local compliance standards:
Once a worker completes the induction from their phone, their record is automatically updated and visible to supervisors. Document expiry tracking ensures nothing slips through the cracks.
This is especially valuable on large or unionised sites in New York City, where Department of Buildings (DOB) rules require accurate documentation for access, and for Irish and UK contractors dealing with varied subcontractor supply chains.
Explore how Boxcore simplifies the onboarding and induction process.
The best way to control who’s on your site is to link access permissions directly to onboarding status. If a worker hasn’t completed their induction, doesn’t have a valid Safepass, CSCS or SST card, or has expired documents, they shouldn’t be allowed on site.
Boxcore ties onboarding directly into facial recognition access control systems—including integrations with Suprema BioStation 3. This ensures:
This system is already live across Irish data centres, UK infrastructure projects and New York high-rise jobs, giving site managers real confidence in workforce compliance.

Construction doesn’t happen in offices—it happens on-site, in challenging environments. Whether you’re managing a remote wind farm in Kerry, a rail upgrade in Birmingham or a tower build in Queens, you need software that works wherever your team is.
Boxcore is fully cloud-based and optimised for mobile. Workers and supervisors can:
This supports real-time coordination between HQ and site, across multiple time zones and jurisdictions. No more manual spreadsheets. No more email chains. No more data blind spots. Just clear, up-to-date safety data in one place.
