SkillGuard is a mobile workforce management solution designed to enhance the safety and productivity of mobile workforces in industries such as construction, rail, road, utilities, transport, and logistics. According to the vendor, SkillGuard is specifically tailored for major corporations responsible for large-scale projects with extensive supply chains.

## Key Features

**Powerful, Centralised Cloud-Based Database**: SkillGuard combines a secure database with an encrypted smartcard to provide a single, transferable record for every worker. The scalable database allows real-time validation of worker authorization, ensuring safety targets are met, according to the vendor.

**Physical and Virtual Smartcards**: SkillGuard integrates with physical and virtual smartcards, serving as portable passports to work. Smartcards store worker information securely and can be easily updated to reflect their current authority to work. Integrated apps and card checking solutions provide real-time verification, the vendor claims.

**Competency Management**: SkillGuard holds extensive information about a worker's competency, including qualifications, awards, and project and site events. Competency data can be mapped into job roles, enabling skills forecasting and planning. Qualification updates are quickly entered and reflected on the worker's card, according to the vendor.

**Dedicated iOS and Android Apps**: SkillGuard offers dedicated apps for iOS and Android devices, allowing secure checking of smartcards. The apps are suitable for closed and open sites, supporting both QR code checks and NFC capabilities for offline card checking, according to the vendor.

**Targeted Messaging to Your Workforce and Supply Chain**: SkillGuard's integrated Messaging module enables direct communication with the workforce via smartphones. Messages can be sent to all workers or targeted groups, with options for links, images, buttons, or downloads. Full audit capabilities track engagement and reach, the vendor claims.

**Management of Payment Online**: SkillGuard simplifies online payment of worker and contractor subscriptions, streamlining cost distribution through the supply chain. The integrated subscription and payment functionality supports various payment triggers and provides auto-generated receipts and order confirmations, according to the vendor.

**Linked Schemes**: SkillGuard's Linked Scheme approach allows the consolidation of worker data across multiple SkillGuard implementations, enhancing workforce safety. It tracks workers' rest periods and flags when they last worked, even across different clients and SkillGuard schemes, according to the vendor.

**Card Swipes, Shift Views, Muster Lists, and Management of Fatigue**: SkillGuard manages card swipe activity logs, providing detailed shift analysis and access denied actions. Site-based awards and recent shift activity are recorded electronically. Swipe data can be viewed in table format or using geomaps for geographical insight, the vendor claims.

**Integration Points - API and Physical Access Control**: SkillGuard offers integration points for seamless transfer and update of workforce data with third-party systems using the SkillGuard API. It can also be integrated with physical access control measures such as turnstiles or barriers. A comprehensive reporting suite provides feature-rich metrics, according to the vendor.
