Safety Management Software for Construction: Why New York and Boston Contractors Are Choosing Boxcore

Boxcores Construction Safety Software and Picture of Boston Skyline

Safety management software is no longer a nice-to-have—on major construction sites across New York and Boston, it’s now essential. With ever-tightening regulations, fragmented workforces, and the urgent need to digitise safety data, contractors are under pressure to streamline how they manage compliance, training, and workforce access.

Boxcore was built with this reality in mind. Unlike bloated systems designed for the back office, Boxcore is made for the field—fast to deploy, intuitive to use, and fully tailored for modern site conditions. From real-time safety tracking to facial recognition access control, the platform is helping firms in both cities tackle compliance head-on and reduce admin to a minimum.

Safety Software That Works on Real Sites

Boxcore has been deployed on over 1,100 construction projects to date. In both Boston and New York City, the platform is seeing rapid adoption because it delivers where it matters most—on site. Safety managers, superintendents, and subcontractors can access everything they need from their phone or tablet, whether they’re completing a toolbox talk, checking OSHA or SST card compliance, or running a safety inspection on site.

With one secure, mobile-first system, Boxcore combines:

  • Digital Orientations and safety briefings
  • Project-specific training tracking
  • Document and asset registers
  • RAMS and permit uploads
  • Facial recognition-based time and attendance

Designed for Local Requirements in New York

Construction firms operating in New York face a unique regulatory landscape. Local Law 196, DOB inspections, and SST training compliance require watertight records that are easily accessible. With Boxcore, contractors can:

  • Track SST cards and all project-specific training
  • Keep a full digital log of site attendance using facial recognition
  • Generate reports to support DOB inspections or audits in seconds
  • Eliminate paper logs, manual spreadsheets and email chains

Explore how Boxcore supports Local Law 196 compliance.

Meeting Boston’s Construction Safety Expectations

In Boston, General Contractors are under increasing pressure to verify OSHA cards, ensure workforce compliance with training mandates, and enforce safe site access procedures. Boxcore simplifies this by:

  • Digitally verifying OSHA and project-specific training records
  • Managing all safety documents in one system
  • Using facial recognition to ensure only approved workers enter site
  • Delivering clear, audit-ready records for safety officers and clients

This means smoother inspections, fewer delays, and reduced admin for everyone involved. See how Boxcore supports General Contractors in staying on top of their responsibilities.

Facial Recognition for Secure, Accurate Time and Attendance

One of the most popular Boxcore features among US contractors is our facial recognition system. Instead of relying on swipe cards or manual sign-ins, workers are enrolled in seconds using two quick photos. From then on, every clock-in is secure, fast, and traceable.

This provides several advantages:

  • Full visibility of labour hours by project, trade or subcontractor
  • Automatic attendance reports ready for payroll or audits
  • No buddy punching or fraudulent check-ins
  • Seamless integration with site turnstiles or access gates

Boxcore uses Suprema BioStation 3 technology—trusted for its reliability even on large-scale projects. This system is especially useful on unionised and regulated sites across NYC and Boston where accurate headcounts and controlled access are essential.

Everything in One Place—No More Admin Chaos

Contractors in Boston and NYC often juggle dozens of forms, spreadsheets, and document folders just to stay compliant. Boxcore eliminates this chaos. Whether it’s site audits, induction records, or expired permits, everything is centralised and visible at a glance.

With our safety management platform, you can:

  • Auto-track expiry dates of RAMS, training, and certifications
  • Instantly check if all team members are compliant
  • Store and share documents across devices and teams
  • Assign and follow up on audit actions with no back-and-forth

Our “single source of truth” approach means teams spend less time hunting for paperwork and more time focused on the job. Discover how we simplify digital safety compliance.

Easy Integration with Procore and Autodesk

Many construction firms across New York and Boston already use Procore or Autodesk as their project management backbone. Boxcore integrates seamlessly with both, meaning you don’t have to duplicate data or manage two systems separately.

Rapid Setup and Local Support

For contractors moving fast on new projects, implementation speed is critical. Boxcore systems are typically up and running in 24–48 hours, a fraction of time it takes other systems – with all your worker and training data migrated over as part of the service. Subcontractors can be onboarded in minutes and our US-based team provides both online and on-site support.

Each customer is assigned a dedicated Customer Success Manager to ensure adoption, resolve queries, and support rollout. As Padraig Reilly, CEO of Boxcore, puts it:

“At the end of the day, our goal is simple: we want to give contractors tools that actually make their lives easier on site. It’s about cutting down the admin, improving safety and helping teams get the job done with less hassle.” — Padraig Reilly, CEO & Founder of Boxcore

Built for Subcontractors Too

Nearly half of Boxcore’s customer base are subcontractors who face specific challenges: needing to prove workforce compliance, share documents with multiple clients, and manage short-term teams on a fast turnover.

Boxcore is designed to support these needs with:

  • Quick onboarding for rotating teams
  • Digital inductions per project or client
  • Workforce document tracking by role or trade
  • Easy data sharing with general contractors or clients

Safety Software That Gets Used

The problem with most safety software? It’s either too complicated, takes months to implement, or doesn’t get adopted by the people who actually need it—on-site teams. Boxcore was designed to be different.

It works out of the box. It works on your phone. And it works for both large contractors and small firms managing local builds.

That’s why Boxcore was recognised as a Product Innovation Award Winner and continues to grow rapidly across the US.
