The Anatomy of a DropShield User
Two workers. Same trade, same hours, same paycheck. One leaves behind a complete, defensible record of everything he touched — the other leaves behind a timesheet.
One identity, every module
Every user is a single profile linked to the equipment they're assigned, the vehicle they drive, the work orders they complete, and the crew they run.

Track everyone — not just app seats.
Cole is a full DropShield User — every module tied to his name. Add hourly workers, day labor, or rotating crew as time-only workers and they're still wired into 15+ systems with no login, no seat, and no email: one 4-digit PIN and a QR badge link them to hours, jobs, costs, invoices, safety records, coaching, and a reliability score.
DropShield User
Cole Whitaker
Senior Field Supervisor
DropShield User · Full app access
Eleven live data feeds tied to Cole's profile — every action, inspection, and asset assignment is timestamped and audit-ready.
90 days of perfect DVIRs, on-time clock-ins, zero overdue returns, and 3 flagged Safety Saves — every signal auto-logged, no foreman data entry required.
Recognition · EN
"Cole — 96/100 this quarter. Your Floor 7 harness catch prevented a recordable. Bonus-eligible under your company's Platinum tier this pay period. Keep leading."
Insurance-Ready Export
One-click PDF: Cole's 90-day inspection log, DVIR history, cert expirations, and clean-day count — the same packet your carrier asks for at renewal.
Full-User depth = every action becomes a bonus lever, a coaching moment, or an insurance line item. Non-users can't generate this record themselves.
Time Only Worker
Jordan Smith
General Labor
Crew Member · No app seat
Jordan has no login, no seat, and no email — just a 4-digit PIN and a QR badge. That single credential still links him to hours, jobs, costs, invoices, safety records, coaching, and a reliability score.
Scored only on what he controls: Attendance vs. crew norm (30%), Clock Integrity (25%), Safety Participation (25%), Recognition (20%). Jordan's drivers: 14 shifts vs. a crew norm of 20, 2 off-site punches, 1 auto-closed shift.
Coaching · EN
"Hey Jordan — your hustle on Floor 14 didn't go unnoticed. Two things this week: clock out at the end of every shift, and punch in at the jobsite instead of on the way there. Signing the daily JHA is the fastest way to lift your safety pillar."
Coaching · ES
"Jordan, buen trabajo en el piso 14. Esta semana: marca salida al final de cada turno y marca entrada en la obra, no en el camino. Firmar el JHA diario sube tu puntaje de seguridad más rápido."
Coaching tips surface automatically for any pillar under 80 — plain language, no surprise math.
The Worker Reliability Score
A transparent, 0–100 score built to protect your best people.
DropShield computes a rolling 90-day composite from data the platform already captures — completed work orders, inspection quality, time-clock integrity, pre-trip DVIRs, equipment stewardship, and peer Kudos.
Catching a real defect raises your score. Receiving Kudos raises your score. There's no surprise math — every worker can see exactly which signals drove their number, and exactly how to raise it.

No login. No seat. No email. Still fully connected.
A time-only worker — a "crew member" — is a first-class record wired into 15+ systems. One 4-digit PIN links them to hours, jobs, costs, invoices, safety records, coaching, and a reliability score.
Identity & access
- ·Unique 4-digit clock-in PIN and a personal QR badge token, both stored write-protected — retrieved only through a secured server-side call, never readable in bulk.
- ·PIN and QR badge can be regenerated instantly if a badge is lost or a worker leaves.
Time & attendance
- ·Clocked in by a DropShield user (manager attribution recorded) or self-punch at a Clock-In Station — a shop tablet kiosk using PIN or QR, no email required.
- ·Every punch captures GPS lat/lng, accuracy, and an off-site punch flag when they weren't at the jobsite.
- ·Shift-day splitting attributes a shift crossing midnight to the correct calendar day, so daily hours are always true.
- ·Managers can edit hours after the fact — every edit is audited: who changed it, when, and why.
- ·Feeds weekly and monthly overtime tracking plus QuickBooks-compatible payroll exports.
Crews & org structure
- ·Belong to a crew, a crew leader, a branch or division, and are assigned to jobsites.
- ·Crew transfer requests with manager approval and effective-dated handoffs.
Jobsite & production
- ·Assigned to jobsites and work orders; their labor hours roll into job cost, profitability, and cost-to-complete.
- ·Their hours become billable labor lines on invoices, with time-entry evidence attached.
- ·Appear in daily logs, jobsite feed activity, and milestone/timeline labor rollups.
Safety & compliance
- ·Sign JHAs and toolbox talks individually or via manager roster attestation — OSHA-defensible either way.
- ·Site orientation sign-in via QR: no app install, no account.
- ·Named on injury and near-miss reports (OSHA 300/301 ready) and on stop-work events.
- ·Included in the Safety Compliance Register and audit packet exports.
Recognition & coaching
- ·Can receive Kudos, including Safety Save awards.
- ·Have their own Reliability Scorecard, coaching sessions with history, and AI coaching suggestions.
Reporting
- ·Surface in Time Clock PDFs (with the manager who clocked them in), weekly reports, payroll exports, safety registers, and the Team page hours view.
A purpose-built model that grades only what they control.
Time-only workers don't run inspections, DVIRs, or work orders. Scoring them on the licensed-user model would punish them for data they cannot produce. Window: rolling last 90 days. Minimum data gate: no score displays until the worker has 5+ shifts in the window — until then the card shows "X/5 shifts — not enough data."
Attendance
30%Do they show up, relative to your crew's own norm
(their shifts ÷ crew median shifts) × 100, capped at 100. Working more than the norm does not inflate the score — that's overtime exposure, not reliability.
Clock Integrity
25%Honest, clean punches
Weighted blend: 45% shifts closed properly (they clocked out), 30% clean closes (no auto-close or manual correction), 25% on-site punches (not clocked in off-site).
Safety Participation
25%Are they engaged in safety
Base 60; +10 per JHA/toolbox sign-off (capped at +40, so 4+ sign-offs earn full credit); +5 if a site orientation is on file; −12 per incident (capped at −25).
Recognition
20%Positive-only signal
0 kudos = 70 (neutral baseline), 1 = 78, 2 = 88, 3+ = 100. Zero kudos is never a penalty.
Fairness rules baked into the math
- N/A instead of zero. If a pillar has no data — no safety records on file, for example — it's marked N/A and its weight is redistributed across the remaining pillars. A missing signal can never drag a worker down. The card labels a safety gap as "a paperwork gap for the company to close, not a mark against the worker."
- Graded against your crew, not an arbitrary target. Part-time and seasonal crews are never penalized for a schedule they didn't set.
- Composite = weighted average of scored pillars only, then rounded.

Coaching, not punishment
Any pillar under 80 automatically surfaces a plain-language coaching tip (up to 3 shown):
Attendance
"Consistent attendance against the crew's normal schedule is the single biggest driver here."
Clock Integrity
"Clock out at the end of every shift and punch in at the jobsite, not on the way there."
Safety
"Signing the daily JHA / toolbox talk is the fastest way to raise this pillar."
Every sub-score displays its own weight, its raw factors — "18 shifts across 16 days · Crew norm: 20 shifts", "2 off-site punches" — and the score itself, so the number is fully explainable to the worker.
AI that coaches, drafts, and answers — never replaces the person on the ground.
DropShield's AI works alongside your foreman and every worker — surfacing positive coaching moments, drafting work orders and jobsite summaries, capturing receipts, and answering plain-English questions from your own compliance record. Every interaction is measurable and improves over time.
Ask DropShield
A conversational AI button anywhere in the app. "Which harnesses failed this quarter?" "Show DVIR defects on truck F-204." "Who's due for a fall-pro refresher?" — plain-English answers from your own data, never trained on it externally.
AI coaching for every worker
Positive, in-app coaching moments triggered by real signals — a missed step, a late clock-in, a great inspection. Bilingual, encouraging tone, tailored to the worker (user or time-only). Managers stay in the loop without playing bad cop.
Post-coaching performance tracking
Every coaching moment logs a baseline and tracks the follow-through. Did DVIR quality improve? Did on-time clock-ins go up? Did failed inspections drop? Coaching turns from a conversation into a measurable engagement metric.
AI-drafted work orders
Voice note, photo, or a two-line description — AI drafts a scoped work order with materials, labor lines, and suggested pricing. You review, approve, and send as a branded PDF. Field-fast, office-professional.
AI receipt & expense capture
Snap a fuel, parts, rental or tow receipt. AI pulls the vendor, amount, tax and category, then pins it to the correct jobsite or vehicle automatically — no more shoebox of paper at month-end.
AI throughout the app
Jobsite summaries, incident narratives, inspection follow-ups, and shift briefings — pre-drafted by AI, edited by you. The point isn't AI for its own sake; it's giving your foreman back an hour every day.
Recognize the people doing it right
Kudos, baked into daily work.
Anyone on the team can send a Kudo to any user or Crew Member in five categories. Kudos feed into the Worker Reliability Score and roll up into recognition reports for end-of-quarter reviews.
