Why teams move to Plexa

Most HSEQ tools digitise the paperwork but leave your data in silos: safety in one place, quality in another, access and ESG in spreadsheets. Plexa runs all of it on one data model, so one record tells the whole story, from induction to defect close-out.

Plexa - APP sign in and personnel

Inductions in 4 minutes, not 20

Two-step authentication pulls existing worker details automatically instead of forcing re-entry. Subcontractors self-onboard their own people and equipment. Site admins stop being the bottleneck. That's 5x faster onboarding.

Plexa Blocked Personnel Compliance

Compliance enforced structurally

Hold points block induction and gate access without a signed SWMS or prestart. Non-compliant site entry is prevented at the gate, not audited after the fact. Zero non-compliant entries.

Plexa ESG reporting

Built-in ESG and sustainability

Carbon, social impact, Indigenous spend and waste diversion tracked in the platform, not bolted on later.

Plexa Defects List

Traced quality, end to end, on mobile

ITPs, ITCs, defects and inspections share one system with photos, correspondence and workflows. A defect is traced from inspection to evidence to close-out, all from a phone on site.

Plexa HSEQ reporting

Reporting that works on day one

No report-building, no analysts. Out-of-the-box dashboards from the first login, with an AI layer on top that adds narrative context and answers "why" alongside "what".

* Estimated saving for site management on a major project, per year. Based on: ~$106k from reduced induction time (16 min saved x 50 inductions x 100 days x $80/hr blended rate), ~$247k from project team productivity (1–2 hrs/day across seven site roles x 230 days at standard loaded rates), ~$13k from reporting time and ~$11k from ESG tracking. Total ~$340k per major project per year. Actual savings vary by project size, team and rates; scales with your portfolio.
