One platform for training & competency, H&S/SHEQ, and the HR certificate hand-off - replacing the spreadsheet and what you pay Mango for. Mobile-first, works offline on site, on your own domain. And instead of just describing it, we've built a working demo you can try right now.
This started as training-management automation, then your H&S brief landed - and they're really the same job. Today the training matrix lives in a fragile spreadsheet, certificates get copied by hand between HR, H&S and Mango, and your SHEQ records sit in a separate paid system. We'd bring all of it into one platform McConnell owns. We already know your environment and teams, so rather than a written response we've built a real, clickable version you can open on your phone right now.
Your current training and compliance lives in a macro-heavy workbook. It works - but it's fragile and entirely manual.
A bespoke Progressive Web App (PWA) in React. It installs to the home screen like a native app, works offline, and is built around your real processes - integrating Mango and Microsoft 365 rather than replacing them.
Capture incidents and inspections with no signal - they save on the device and sync automatically when you're back online.
Photos captured with location and time, attached straight to the record.
Compliance, expiries and the bookings to make - who, what, by when, and the CITB grant recoverable.
Replaces the training spreadsheet and what you pay Mango for, and tidies the HR cert hand-off - all under McConnell's control, signed in with Microsoft 365.
Add a new starter or upload a certificate in seconds - it files itself, the training matrix updates, expiry is calculated and reminders fire. No more copying between HR, H&S and Mango by hand.
Subbies maintain their own operative records and certificates - less admin for McConnell, clearer compliance.

Effort in developer-days, confirmed at the end of Discovery. Phases are delivered fixed-price and signed off one at a time.
| # | Phase | What you get | Days |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Discovery & design | Map the end-to-end flow with HR, Diane, H&S & IT; data model, sign-in & security, migration plan | 2 - 4 |

| 5 | Training, competency & HR automation | Training matrix & bookings, role-based competency, and the automated cert flow (HR → H&S → matrix), replacing the spreadsheet | 4 - 7 |
| 6 | Dashboards | Live dashboards, traffic-light compliance, cross-project trends | 3 - 5 |
| 7 | Mango replacement & go-live | Migrate off Mango, M365 sign-in, security review, user testing, training, launch | 5 - 7 |
| - | Project management | Planning, coordination, demos, reporting (~10%) | 4 - 5 |
The MVP delivers offline site forms plus the incident/inspection core, live on your domain. The later phases layer on subcontractors, the training & cert automation, dashboards and the Mango replacement. We build fast with AI-assisted tooling, work in the open with your team, and you pay one small phase at a time - set against what you currently spend on Mango, it pays for itself. Estimates are confirmed at the end of Discovery.
Indicative timeline: MVP usable around week 4; full go-live in roughly 6-8 weeks.
