Certchain uses AI to automate how competence and compliance data is presented — at a scale and frequency that manual processes can’t achieve.
One of the UK’s largest prime contractors uses Certchain across 500+ sites and 300 supply-chain partners, achieving real-time compliance visibility and over 60% improvement in operational efficiency. With regulation tightening, waiting to improve is no longer an option. -
We start with what you already have. Share your existing skills matrices, spreadsheets, or forms, and we use AI-assisted tools to ingest, structure, and operationalise the data quickly — turning static spreadsheets into live competence intelligence.

Very quickly.
Once your user data is uploaded, a high-level compliance and competence dashboard can be live in around 10 minutes, giving immediate visibility across your workforce and supply chain.
