HatSafe — field capture, 2026Product · PWA
Challenge01

Construction, logistics, and care providers were still tracking expiring certificates in folders, inboxes, and the odd sticky note.

A single expired PPE certificate can shut a site down, lose a contract, or invalidate an insurance policy. The people responsible knew that — and were still using spreadsheets to manage it. The problem wasn't awareness, it was tooling.

Solution02

A compliance platform with automated expiry tracking, photo evidence capture, and audit-ready export in two clicks.

Upload once, get notified before anything expires, and hand the auditor a folder that builds itself. Designed for five industries that look nothing alike but share the same miserable paperwork.

Process04
01Market scoping

Five industries, twenty interviews, one shared pain point. The MVP scope picked itself.

02Design

A single, boring, fast interface. Every screen designed to be used once a month by someone under time pressure.

03Build

Shipped in ten weeks. Expiry engine, evidence uploader, audit export, paid plan.

04Pilot

Paid pilots across construction, FM, and care. Real invoices before pricing page.

05Go-to-market

Content, SEO, and a direct-sales motion into the five target industries.

Result05

HatSafe is live across construction, facilities, transport, logistics, and care — replacing a drawer of certificates with one dashboard.

Early customers report that audit prep has gone from days to a cup of coffee, and expired certificate incidents have simply stopped happening.

It replaced a filing cabinet and a permanent low-grade anxiety. Both welcome outcomes.
