Onboarding Software For Construction Companies

Onboarding software for construction companies collects each new worker’s details, documents, White Card and licences online, assigns inductions and policies, and records what each worker has completed before they start on site. Sentrient records cards, licences and checks, and does not issue, verify or run them.

Yes. Sentrient is built in Australia for Australian and New Zealand employers, with online forms that collect TFN declarations, superannuation choice and banking details, and safety courses written for Australian workplaces. Builders, trade contractors and civil firms use the same platform and set their own site requirements.

Sentrient collects onboarding details and records cards and licences online, replacing the paper packs, photos of cards on phones and spreadsheets many builders still use beside site induction apps, rostering and payroll. Construction onboarding software like this keeps one record per worker. Our guide to employee onboarding and employee induction checklist show the steps.

Sentrient records onboarding and does not prequalify subcontractor companies, check insurance, manage SWMS, control site sign-in or gates, issue or verify White Cards and licences, build rosters or run payroll. It works beside those tools. Our HR, workforce and learning pages cover the wider employee record, site readiness and training, while this page covers onboarding each new worker.

A construction business must give workers the information, training, instruction and supervision they need to work safely, and Safe Work Australia expects workers to hold general construction induction training and show their White Card when asked, details Sentrient records against each worker. Your business remains responsible for meeting each obligation.

Sentrient records White Cards and licences as compliance records with an expiry date and supporting document, and does not verify them. State and territory regulators issue high-risk work licences, as Safe Work Australia explains, so you confirm a licence with the issuing regulator. Sentrient shows who has supplied what and what is outstanding.

Yes. New employees and contractors complete personal, emergency, banking and super details, upload documents and sign their contract online before they start. Sentrient’s onboarding forms management software collects personal details, bank account, TFN declaration and superannuation standard choice forms, with approvals routed to the office.

Yes. Each card, licence, ticket or qualification is stored as a compliance record with its expiry date. Automated notifications remind the worker and their supervisor before a record expires, and reports list who holds current records for their role. Renewing the licence itself stays with the worker and the issuing body.

Yes. Sentrient collects TFN declarations, superannuation choice and banking details during onboarding and stores them securely. It does not process payroll or lodge anything with the ATO. Integrations with payroll and accounting systems such as Xero and MYOB can automate data capture.

Yes. Sentrient’s preboarding software sends welcome material, site details and checklists before a worker’s first shift, and helps you organise PPE, equipment and system accounts in advance. Workers arrive knowing where to report and what to bring.

Online forms route to the right approver, and workflows send notifications and in-system messages when something needs action. The office can see which workers have outstanding forms, inductions or policies and follow them up before the first shift rather than at the site gate.

Yes. Paired with the Sentrient policy builder, you roll out policies such as code of conduct, drug and alcohol, and fitness for work during onboarding and track each worker’s sign-off. Reports show who has acknowledged each policy. Writing and enforcing the policy remains your business’s responsibility.

Yes, for your company and site-specific inductions. Sentrient’s employee induction training tools let you build, assign and report on induction modules, publish site rules in the knowledge base and schedule group sessions. White Card training is delivered by registered training organisations and recorded in Sentrient. See also our learning management software for construction.

New workers can complete courses such as work health and safety, working at heights and contractor safety as part of onboarding. Sentrient assigns them by role or project and tracks completion. Each course runs for 15 to 30 minutes.

Yes. You can assign different inductions, policies and courses to each project, role or trade, so a scaffolder and a site administrator follow different onboarding steps. Ready-made reports show each worker’s progress, so the office can see which project has items outstanding.

Each new worker sees a personalised dashboard with company information, videos, site guidelines and checklists, showing what to complete and by when. It keeps onboarding clear for workers who start on short notice or move between projects.

Ready-made reports show each worker’s recorded forms, cards, licences, inductions, policies and courses, and what is still outstanding. Managers can see who is ready before a worker is sent to site. For day-to-day crew readiness across projects, see our workforce management software for construction.

Yes. Subcontractor onboarding works alongside employee onboarding: you add contractors, labour hire workers and apprentices, collect their details and cards, and assign inductions and policies. Sentrient is not contractor management software, so it does not prequalify companies or manage SWMS. Labour hire duties stay shared between provider and host. See our HR software for contractors.

Yes. Sentrient works online on computers, tablets and smartphones, so workers can complete forms, upload photos of cards and licences, read policies and finish induction modules before their first shift. Nothing needs to be printed or handed in at the site office.

Sentrient keeps each worker’s onboarding records, cards, licences, induction completions and policy sign-offs in one place, with dates and supporting documents. That record helps when a principal contractor, client or regulator asks who was inducted and what they hold. Your business remains responsible for audit outcomes.

Sentrient brings onboarding forms, contracts, induction training, safety courses, policy sign-off and licence records together on one Australian platform, so the office does not juggle separate tools for each step. For hazards, incidents and risk logs, see our risk management software for construction.

Sentrient suits builders, trade contractors, civil and infrastructure firms, and engineering businesses that onboard employees, apprentices and subcontractors across projects. Published clients include industrial and engineering organisations such as Engineers Australia and Pental Limited.
