Find us in Training Magazine
Training Mag recently featured our service in their September/October 2017 edition of Tech Talk. Employers that need to verify that workers are doing only jobs they’re trained for have a new solution with Credential Verification Service’s new verification wristbands. Each silicone wristband is stamped with a unique QR code. When the durable wristband is scanned with a smartphone or tablet, the employee’s [...]
Thanks, Apple.
As you're probably well aware, our service makes heavy use of QR code technology. But, while QR codes have been around for quite some time, native support for the 2D bar codes has been lacking in most mobile devices. We don't mind answering calls from people saying "I took a picture of the QR code but nothing happened." But, it [...]
We now support worksite check-in and check-out
We have partnered with TapTrack—giving you the option to use your CVS ID badges to check into (and out of) a work site. Of course, with those same ID cards, you still have access to the vast array of CVS services via its QR code.

The Psychology of Your ID Badge Design

In case you were unaware, ransomeware is [...]
Headlong into the Precarious
We created CVS as a way to increase work site security through mobile technology. Because of this, we're not only interested in keeping up with happenings in the construction industry, but also in keeping up with the ever shifting trends on the technological horizon. Naturally, something like the recent Samsung Galaxy Note 7 crisis raises alarms for us. But, perhaps [...]
Happy Labor Day!
In honor of labor day, we decided to present you with some Labor Day facts. But, this is CVS, so we encoded them in QR codes, of course. (These were taken from this Forbes article, but what's the fun in reading them directly. Happy scanning!) One of the biggest reasons we [...]
Announcing the “Emergency Information” Option
We're pleased to announce that we've added a significant new safety feature, available for all CVS users. We've added an "Emergency Information" button which appears right below the employee's profile information, whenever the QR code is scanned. This is designed to immediately display exactly the information that an EMT or Emergency Responder would need to see in case of an accident. After [...]
