How Paperless Works on Real Construction Sites
From worker enrolment to daily briefings, forms, photos, timekeeping and reporting, Paperless gives your site and office teams one connected way to manage records.
Paperless is built around the way construction teams actually work. Supervisors capture records on site, workers complete briefings and forms digitally, and managers get better visibility without chasing paperwork.
✅ Set up projects and users
✅ Capture site records digitally
✅ Track workforce and compliance
✅ View records and reports in one place
The problem is not one form. It is the whole record trail.
Construction records are often spread across paper folders, spreadsheets, WhatsApp photos, emails and disconnected apps. That makes it harder to see what has happened on site, prove who was briefed, track attendance, manage forms and prepare for audits.
Paperless connects the daily site record trail so information is captured once, stored properly and easier to report on.
✅ Workers need onboarding
✅ Sites need daily records
✅ Supervisors need simple tools
✅ Managers need live visibility
✅ Audits need clear evidence
Paperless helps construction teams capture the day-to-day evidence they need without chasing paperwork, spreadsheets or disconnected apps.
A simple workflow from setup to reporting
1. Set up your project
Create your project, add key details, upload documents and configure the records your team needs to capture.
2. Add workers and teams
Pre-enrol workers, manage competencies, assign project access and keep workforce records connected to each site.
3. Issue inductions and briefings
Send site inductions, RAMS briefings, toolbox talks, COSHH briefings and daily updates with clear digital sign-off records.
4. Capture daily site activity
Supervisors can record attendance, complete forms, add photos, manage permits, run checklists and capture key site evidence.
5. Monitor compliance and visibility
Office teams can view records, track progress, check missing information and support site teams without waiting for paperwork.
6. Report, export and prove
Use dashboards, exports and reporting tools to find the records you need for clients, audits, claims, handover or internal reviews.
