Key Features and Benefits to Principal Contractors

  • The SkillGuard comprehensive database means Principal Contractors can access a full view of all work activity across their projects – even when working for more than one utility client.
  • The system provides a range of analysis and audit data to enable you to confirm best practice and identify projects or areas of work activity that should have additional focus.
  • The information available in SkillGuard reduces risk – giving you both protection and peace of mind.
  • Create a consistent approach to validating and authenticating the workforce. In turn, reward companies within your supply chain who are committed to supporting and training their staff.
  • The financial model enables you to spread the cost across your supply chain fairly and equitably.
  • Efficiency savings mean you can boost output without necessarily increasing your workforce.
  • The system supports sustainability – both by eliminating needless duplication and waste, plus our virtual smartcards cut out plastic, postage and mileage.
  • Set your own site rules and access requirements, as well as create qualifications and awards specific to your projects, underpinning your own targets and priorities and supporting safety best practice at all times.
  • Powerful analytics on the system enable the identification of common goals and targets around the workforce and future training and resource planning to maximise efficiency.
