Simplify Construction Training with
Record Management & Credential Verification

Q: Is CVS an LMS?

No. An LMS delivers courses; CVS verifies and tracks the certificates that come out of any LMS or training vendor and surfaces them in the field via QR scan. Many contractors run LMS + CVS together: one drives learning, the other guarantees compliance.

Q: How do I verify training with a QR code on-site?

Each employee receives either a plastic photo-ID card or a rugged vinyl sticker for the front of their hard hat , both printed with the same unique QR code. Any smartphone camera scans that code and loads the worker’s full credential page — no special app, no paper binders, no guessing.

Is it hard to roll out?David Allen2025-07-03T10:24:44+00:00

Is it hard to roll out?

Onboarding takes days, not months: import your spreadsheet or LMS export, order QR code ID cards or hard-hat stickers, and start scanning with phones you already own. No servers, no proprietary hardware.

How does CVS improve OSHA compliance?

CVS keeps every OSHA-required record in one live database, emails you before anything expires, and gives inspectors instant proof during audits. That means no more scrambling for cards and far fewer compliance gaps.

It was originally an InstantCard client who, in 2016, brainstormed with us to develop the pilot program that turned into CVS.

InstantCard developed the CVS service over a two-year period of time, driven entirely by clients who were asking for a better way to access their training records online. First we researched the best technologies to make employee badges “smart”. Then we then focused on how to best serve the needs of safety and training professionals, focusing primarily on the construction industry. Subsequently, as we added major clients, we solicited continual feedback on additional features to be added that would make the service even more useful to them.

Now, years later, we believe that we offer the most advanced credential management platform available anywhere.

We are all technology buffs, acutely aware that cloud and mobile technologies have the power to drastically improve traditional work processes. We constantly challenge ourselves to seek out new and better ways that these amazing technologies can enhance safety while improving efficiency. We look forward to understanding your specific needs and requirements.
