About Platform Solutions
Platform Solutions is one of New York City’s leading scaffolding and hoist contractors, recognised for its reliability and commitment to delivering first-class projects across the city’s most demanding sites. With decades of experience, the company has built a reputation for precision, safety, and timely project delivery. Operating in such a high-risk and highly regulated sector, Platform Solutions must ensure that every worker is fully trained, every asset is certified, and compliance is never in question.
The Challenge
Like many specialist contractors in New York, Platform Solutions faced growing pressure to demonstrate compliance with strict city regulations, particularly around workforce safety and equipment certification. Tracking hundreds of worker training records and ensuring scaffolding and hoist equipment certifications were always up to date required a significant administrative effort. Traditional methods—emails, spreadsheets, and paper files—were proving unsustainable, especially as project scale and documentation requirements increased.
Platform Solutions needed a system that was simple for site teams to use, quick to adopt, and reliable in giving real-time visibility of training and equipment status.
The Solution
Boxcore was selected as Platform Solutions’ safety and compliance partner. Designed specifically for construction teams, Boxcore provides an intuitive platform that makes it easy to:
- Verify all workers have the correct training and certifications before arriving on site.
- Track training requirements including OSHA cards, SST cards, and project-specific orientations.
- Manage and update scaffolding and hoist equipment inspections digitally, eliminating the risk of expired certificates.
- Share safety documents instantly across teams, clients, and auditors without email or spreadsheets.
With automated training and asset registers, Boxcore provides a single source of truth for safety data. Its traffic light reporting system allows supervisors to see instantly which workers or assets are compliant (green), approaching expiry (amber), or non-compliant (red). Automated alerts mean nothing slips through the cracks, helping Platform Solutions stay ahead of compliance risks.
Why Boxcore?
The partnership has been successful because Boxcore aligns with Platform Solutions’ core values: simplicity, safety, and reliability.
- Ease of Use – Site crews, foremen, and managers adopted Boxcore with minimal training. Most were up and running in minutes.
- Real-Time Visibility – From the office to the field, management can now see worker compliance and equipment status in seconds.
- Audit Ready – With all safety data centralised, preparing for audits or inspections has become straightforward and stress-free.
- Reduced Admin – The platform has eliminated endless back-and-forth emails and the manual updating of spreadsheets.
Client Experience

- Worker training verification is now instant and clear.
- Scaffolding and hoist inspections are tracked seamlessly, with no risk of using equipment without valid certification.
- Alerts and traffic light reports give management peace of mind that compliance issues will be caught early, not during a regulator’s inspection.
