About 1Breadcrumb
1Breadcrumb is a digital construction solution designed to streamline site worker, subcontractor and plant safety and compliance admin.
1Breadcrumb is a digital ecosystem where subcontractors, principal contractors and tradespeople meet to simplify contractor on-boarding and automate real-time data from site. The 1Breadcrumb platform is a mobile app and web portal designed for Principal Contractors to streamline safety and compliance administration on construction sites.
It offers deep integration with project management tool Procore to automate reporting and compliment Procore as the "one source of truth".
1Breadcrumb enables builders to automate and streamline site safety from the palm of their hand to ensure full compliance, boost worksite productivity, increase accessibility, minimise admin processes and reduce as much as possible the need to use multiple applications. Currently, the major functions of the platform are:
- Inductions
RAMS
Plant & Equipment Inductions
Site Attendance & Manpower Logs
Permits to Work
Competencies / Licences / Tickets / Certificates of Currency
Asset Management
Site Alerts / Communications
Subcontractor Management
1Breadcrumb was established in Australia in 2020 and has since become a leading safety and compliance system across the United Kingdom and Ireland, showcasing recent growth in the US and Canada.
