It’s wise to research alternatives. There are a few types of solutions in this space: some are extensions of LMS platforms, some are general certification tracking tools, and a few are dedicated construction credential services. When evaluating them, consider these factors: ease of use in the field, ability to integrate with what you already use, focus on construction/OSHA requirements, and support and service. Many alternatives might tick some boxes but not others. For instance, a generic certification tracker might not understand the nuances of OSHA record-keeping or might lack a QR code verification feature. An LMS-based solution might be great for learning, but clunky for on-site checks or for importing external training records. CVS was chosen by construction firms because it hits a sweet spot: it’s laser-focused on credential verification needs and not overbuilt with unrelated features. Clients often tell us that compared to other software they’ve tried, CVS required minimal training for their team – people just “get it” quickly, which is crucial when rolling out something new. Another aspect is customer support: with CVS, you have a team that’s experienced in both technology and construction compliance (coming from InstantCard’s background), so we can help tailor the system to your workflow. In short, alternatives do exist, but CVS distinguishes itself by being purpose-built for the construction industry’s compliance challenges and by offering a balanced mix of technology and hands-on support. Choosing CVS means you’re getting a solution that has been proven in the field and is backed by experts who genuinely want to help improve your safety processes.
