Field buy-in

Start with the crew. Build the record the business needs.

HammerTech is designed around enterprise and GC-led project environments. SALUS begins at the trade-crew moment of work — scan, speak, snap, sign, even offline — then keeps every record connected to the worker, task, site, time, and original source. The crew gets less friction; the business gets readiness, risk intelligence, and proof.

  • Crew-first captureFast mobile workflows make the job easier at the source, so records are created while the work is happening.
  • Connected ground truthEvery submission stays linked to the worker, crew, task, site, time, and source evidence behind it.
  • Operational intelligenceOne field record can support readiness checks, risk monitoring, reports, and source-linked proof.

SALUS is the perfect marriage of both usability and capability. It has really great features for us as admin, but it’s simple for my crews to use out in the field, too.

Trade-partner continuity

Keep one trade-and-worker record across GC relationships

HammerTech documents worker import within the same builder’s HammerTech system. Subcontractor users linked to multiple GC accounts work in separate account environments and switch between them. SALUS gives the trade contractor one portable trade-and-worker record across GC relationships while preserving the GC, project, worker, task, time, and source context of each event.

  • One portable operating recordManage workers, qualifications, orientations, field activity, and closeout from the trade contractor’s own record across GC relationships.
  • Context travels with the recordCarry each worker’s readiness and work history forward without losing the original GC, project, site, and task context.
  • The trade contractor’s portfolioSee readiness, risk, and proof across active projects and GC relationships from one operating view.
  • Proof without reconstructionUse signed, timestamped field records for prequalification, audits, owner reporting, and insurance without rebuilding the story from disconnected exports.

You could get on a plane and fly to all of these jobs to see what they actually look like, or you can create a system where people bring jobs to life in front of your eyes.

Integrated LMS

Beyond orientation: learning connected to the work

HammerTech supports digital orientations and a training matrix. SALUS goes deeper with an integrated LMS in the same crew record — so teams can create courses with Rosie, assign learning from active work, and track completion without separating training from field operations.

  • Integrated LMSCreate, assign, complete, and track courses alongside worker records, forms, and field activity.
  • AI course creationRosie, the AI Admin & Risk Assistant, drafts and translates course content for your team to review and approve.
  • Learning from the workUse permits, incidents, corrective actions, and changing site conditions to put relevant training in front of the right crew.

It was everything I felt we needed to take our safety to the next level. We developed a really good relationship with the SALUS team and we got to work.
