SmartBarrel is a fully self-sufficient device. It’s sturdy and weatherproof, and can be powered via a solar panel if your jobsite doesn’t have power (we include a solar panel along with your SmartBarrel box). Once shipped to your jobsite, all you have to do is either upload the worker information of subcontractors (including their first name, last name, and phone number) or have the Super or Foreman add workers when they show up.
Adding workers is very simple. From your phone, tablet, or laptop, simply select the subcontractor option and add the worker’s first name, last name, and phone number. You can then opt in to collect further safety information via SMS.

SmartBarrel has a thermal attachment that scans for fevers upon check in. You can also have a COVID questionnaire sent to a worker’s phone.
Upon initial check-in via the SmartBarrel device, an SMS will be sent to a worker’s phone to confirm if the onboarding was complete.
Yes—when a worker checks out via the SmartBarrel device, an SMS will be sent to their phone to ask if there were any incidents. When initially checking in, an SMS is also sent to a worker’s phone to see if they have any injuries, which allows you to collect any necessary information in the most efficient way.
A phone number is assigned to every project, which subcontractors can easily send an SMS to detailing work performed. All of this information is synced directly into the SmartBarrel Dashboard. If you’re using Procore Daily logs, you can have the information flow directly into there as well.
