Construction teams operate in environments where every second matters. Whether it is communicating a safety update, locating a worker during an emergency, onboarding hundreds of contractors, or turning workforce data into actionable insights, teams need technology that keeps pace with the complexity of modern jobsites.

This quarter, Kwant introduced a series of powerful updates designed to improve field communication, simplify workforce management, strengthen onboarding experiences, and help project teams make faster decisions using real-time workforce intelligence.

From multimedia mass alerts to a redesigned Bob AI Assistant and the launch of Onboarding 2.0, these enhancements continue Kwant’s mission of creating a safer, more connected, and more efficient construction workforce.

Here is what is new in Q2.

Send Media Through Mass SMS Alerts: Better Communication When It Matters Most

Jobsite communication cannot always rely on text alone.

A written message may explain a situation, but sometimes teams need to share an image of a hazard, a video walkthrough, or a voice message explaining urgent instructions.

With the latest Mass SMS Alerts update, Kwant users can now send photos, videos, and audio files directly through SMS alerts, giving teams more flexibility when communicating with workers in the field.

Share More Than Words

Teams can now attach media directly to alerts, making it easier to communicate:

• Safety announcements
• Emergency instructions
• Site updates
• Visual work instructions
• Equipment information
• Voice-based updates

For example, a safety manager responding to a changing site condition can quickly send a photo showing a restricted area or attach a short video explaining updated procedures.

Supported Media Types

Users can also record video or audio directly inside Kwant before attaching it to a message. This reduces the need to switch between applications and helps teams send important information faster.

Why This Matters

On large construction projects, communication delays can create safety risks. By bringing richer communication directly into workforce management workflows, teams can provide clearer instructions and improve response times when conditions change.

Multiple Custom Dashboards in Detailed Reports

Construction projects generate enormous amounts of workforce data. But having more data does not automatically create better visibility.

Teams need information organized in a way that makes sense for different users, responsibilities, and decisions.

Kwant’s latest Detailed Reports update introduces support for multiple custom dashboard tabs, allowing teams to organize reporting information into focused sections instead of one long scrolling report.

A More Flexible Reporting Experience

Previously, custom reports could become difficult to navigate as more dashboards and insights were added.

Now, teams can separate reporting views into multiple dashboard tabs, making it easier to organize information by:

• Safety performance
• Workforce activity
• Productivity metrics
• Project milestones
• Compliance reporting

Each dashboard becomes a dedicated section, allowing users to quickly find the information most relevant to their role.

Improved Report Performance

Beyond improving usability, this update also helps streamline report loading by keeping dashboards more focused and optimized.

The result is a faster, cleaner reporting experience for project teams managing complex construction operations.

Bob AI Assistant Gets a Major Upgrade

Artificial intelligence is changing how construction teams interact with workforce data.

But AI is only valuable when it helps users move from questions to decisions faster.

This quarter, Kwant transformed Bob AI Assistant from a simple chat experience into a dedicated feature module designed to help users explore data, create insights, and build reports more efficiently.

A Smarter Way to Work With Workforce Data

The new Bob experience includes:

• Conversation history
• Custom reporting workflows
• AI-generated insights
• Improved reporting tools
• Editable AI-generated reports through Canvas Mode

With Canvas Mode, users can review, refine, and customize AI-generated reports before sharing them with stakeholders.

Simplified Scheduled Reports

Bob also introduces an improved workflow for scheduled reports.

Users can now:

• Create customized scheduled reports
• Modify existing schedules
• View delivery history
• Track report distribution

Scheduled reports can be delivered to selected companies or users with insights customized based on their roles and permissions.

This helps project leaders receive the information they need without manually searching through dashboards.

Faster Worker Setup With Easier Company Creation

Managing thousands of workers across multiple contractors requires accurate company records.

Previously, adding a worker from a company that did not already exist required additional steps.

With this update, users can now search for a worker’s company name during worker creation. If the company does not exist, Kwant provides an option to quickly create the company record directly from the workflow.

This reduces administrative friction and helps teams onboard workers faster.

Faster Access to Worker Last Seen Location

During emergencies, knowing where a worker was last detected can make a critical difference.

Kwant now provides faster navigation from a worker’s last seen location directly to the Location Plan page.

When users select a worker’s last known location:

• Kwant automatically filters for that worker
• The relevant zone is highlighted
• Teams can quickly understand where the worker was last detected

This improvement supports faster decision-making during scenarios such as evacuations, emergency response, or workforce accountability checks.

Introducing Onboarding 2.0: A Smarter Mobile-First Worker Experience

Worker onboarding is one of the most important processes on any construction site.

It is also one of the most challenging.

Large projects must onboard hundreds or thousands of workers while ensuring everyone completes required documentation, training, safety requirements, and compliance steps.

Onboarding 2.0 introduces a completely redesigned onboarding experience that gives administrators more control while creating a smoother experience for workers in the field.

The release introduces:

• Centralized onboarding configuration
• Role-based onboarding requirements
• AI-powered document processing
• QR-based onboarding
• Mobile-first Worker Onboarding PWA
• Improved training workflows
• Digital signatures
• English and Spanish language support

Centralized Onboarding Configuration

Project administrators can now manage onboarding requirements from a dedicated dashboard:

Safety → Onboarding

This centralized experience provides a single location to configure:

• Worker roles
• Required information
• Documents
• Training modules
• Site safety requirements
• QR onboarding access

The dashboard provides a consistent overview across projects while following familiar Kwant dashboard functionality.

Role-Based Worker Requirements

Not every worker needs the same onboarding experience.

A welder, electrician, operator, and general laborer may require different certifications, training, and documentation.

With Onboarding 2.0, administrators can create worker roles and define requirements specific to each position.

Admins can configure:

• Required fields
• Optional fields
• Custom information
• Role-specific onboarding workflows

Additional and custom fields follow existing Workforce validation rules, ensuring consistency across Kwant.

Documents and AI-Powered Credential Processing

Certificates and licenses are now organized into a single Documents section, making onboarding configuration easier to manage.

Workers can upload documents directly from their mobile devices, including:

• Images
• PDFs
• Scanned documents

Kwant’s AI-powered OCR capabilities extract key information and automatically populate details such as:

• Credential IDs
• Issue dates
• Expiration dates

This reduces manual data entry and helps teams process workforce credentials faster.

Improved Worker Training Experience

Training is a critical part of jobsite readiness.

Onboarding 2.0 allows administrators to create structured training modules using:

• Videos
• Images
• PDFs

Training modules appear in the order configured by administrators.

Each training module can include a quiz, and completion is required when a quiz is assigned.

If a worker does not pass a quiz, the retry experience focuses only on previously missed questions, helping workers quickly review areas where additional understanding is needed.

Mobile-First Worker Onboarding PWA

The new Worker Onboarding Progressive Web App gives workers a simple way to complete onboarding directly from their own devices.

Workers can start onboarding through:

• Jobsite QR codes
• SMS invitations
• Email invitations

The mobile experience supports:

• Camera access
• QR scanning
• OTP verification
• Document uploads
• AI-powered document reading
• Step-by-step onboarding
• English and Spanish language switching

A Simpler Worker Journey

The new onboarding flow guides workers through a structured process:

1. Personal Information
2. Contact Information
3. Job Information
4. Profile Photo
5. Document Upload
6. Training Completion
7. Site Safety Review
8. Digital Signatures
9. Final Submission

Workers can pause and resume onboarding at any time. Progress is saved after each step, helping prevent lost work due to interruptions or connectivity issues.

QR-Based Jobsite Access

After completing onboarding and receiving approval, workers can access their jobsite QR code directly.

Future-ready access options include saving QR credentials into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for faster entry.

This creates a smoother transition from onboarding completion to active jobsite access.

Building the Future of Connected Construction Workforces

Kwant’s Q2 updates are focused on one goal: helping construction teams operate with better visibility, stronger communication, and less administrative complexity.

From sending richer emergency alerts to using AI-powered insights and simplifying worker onboarding, these improvements help teams create safer and more efficient jobsites.

As construction continues becoming more connected and data-driven, workforce technology must evolve with it.

Kwant will continue investing in tools that help contractors, owners, and project teams manage their workforce in real time, improve safety outcomes, and build smarter construction operations.
