Safety software vs spreadsheets & paper binders
Spreadsheets and lever-arch folders got most Victorian manufacturers this far. The trouble starts when an inspector asks for evidence, a certificate lapses unnoticed, or the one person who knew the system leaves. Here's how a live safety system compares to keeping it all in files.
| The Ardmor Hub | Spreadsheets & paper | |
|---|---|---|
| See your compliance status right now | A live health score for every site, updated as things change | Whatever the last person typed into a cell |
| Nothing slips (certs, servicing, training) | Automatic reminders before anything expires | You remember, or you don't |
| Workers report a hazard from the floor | QR code → phone form in seconds | A note that may reach the office |
| Evidence for an audit or inspection | A branded evidence pack in one click | Hunting through folders and inboxes |
| If a key person leaves | The system holds the knowledge | It walks out the door with them |
| Works with no signal on the floor | Installable app, offline capture that syncs later | Paper works; the spreadsheet doesn't |
The record is always current
A spreadsheet is a snapshot the moment someone updates it. Ardmor is live — the floor updates it as work happens, so what you see is what's actually true.
Evidence, on demand
When WorkSafe asks, you don't want to be assembling a binder. One click produces a dated, branded evidence pack of exactly what you've done.
It scales past one person
Spreadsheets depend on the person who built them. A real system means the process survives holidays, turnover and a second site.
Common questions
Can I move my existing spreadsheets in?
Yes. You can import employees, equipment and other registers, and your Ardmor advisor can help set it up so you're not starting from a blank page.
Is it more work than a spreadsheet?
It's less. The Hub tells you what needs doing and drafts the paperwork, and your team reports from their phones — so the admin that used to land on one desk is spread and mostly automated.
What does it cost to start?
You can start free and record everything. Paid plans that unlock the active management tools begin at $199/month per site, unlimited workers.
