Modern construction leaders face a critical reality: most “safety software” doesn't actually solve the safety problem—it merely digitizes paperwork. Reporting apps, VR training tools, LMS platforms, and digital JHA forms are marketed as comprehensive solutions, but they all share the same fatal flaw:
They create more data, but they don’t create more intelligence.
This construction safety software comparison explains why point solutions can’t deliver proactive prevention—and why SafetyVue’s connected ecosystem of AR, Mobile App, and Insights is the only path to reducing risk at scale.
Point Solutions Only Digitize. SafetyVue Predicts.
The safety market is crowded with niche tools:
- VR simulators (CM Labs, Tenstar, Caterpillar Simulators)
- LMS & compliance platforms
- Movement & ergonomics training (SIMS)
- Field inspection apps
- JHA digitizers
- Incident reporting apps
They provide value individually but they don’t connect. That means they reinforce reactive safety instead of enabling prevention.
Disconnected tools = disconnected decisions.
Without a shared dataset, safety teams can’t see patterns, predict risk, or act on early warnings.
What Competitors Do Well (and Where They Fall Short)
Grounded in the competitive analysis.
VR Training Providers (CM Labs, Tenstar, Caterpillar Sims)
Great at:
- High-fidelity simulations
- Operator skill building
Fall short because:
- No on-site hazard capture
- No connection between training performance and real-world behavior
- No continuous risk intelligence
Ergonomics & Injury Prevention Training (SIMS)
Great at: Practical movement training
Falls short because: No data capture, no hazard trend analysis, no linkage to field conditions.
Industrial Training Organizations (ITI)
Great at: Rigging, crane, and industrial skills training
Falls short because: Training systems aren’t connected to real-world jobsite risk signals.
Bottom line: All competitors deliver skills.
None deliver intelligence.
Why Point Solutions Fail
1. They Don’t Capture Ground Truth
Apps rely on human input—slow, inconsistent, and subjective.
SafetyVue AR fixes this.
In under five minutes, it captures a high-fidelity video scan that becomes an objective, verifiable JHA draft powered by AI.
→ No competitor has real AR-driven jobsite intelligence.
2. They Don’t Connect Data Across the Safety Lifecycle
Point solutions create more silos:
- Incidents in one app
- Training in another
- Equipment history somewhere else
- Inspections in a form builder
SafetyVue unifies everything.
Every scan, observation, and incident is linked to workers, assets, and historical context through the Intelligence Flywheel.
3. They Can’t Generate Predictive Insight
Point solutions output reports. SafetyVue Insights outputs risk signals, correlations, patterns, and trend lines that help prevent incidents before they occur.
SafetyVue: The Only Connected Safety Intelligence System
Modern safety requires a lifecycle—not a checklist.
The SafetyVue Data Flow
Capture → Connect → Predict
Capture
- SafetyVue AR: Hands-free jobsite scan → draft JHA
- Mobile App: Observations, incidents, inspections in real time
Connect
Data automatically links to:
- The worker
- The asset
- The project
- The training history
- The site conditions
- Previous hazards
Predict
Insights analyzes everything.
It surfaces downticks, correlations, and emerging risks that point solutions can’t see.
This is the power of the Intelligence Flywheel—every datapoint makes the system smarter.

The Future of Safety Isn’t Apps—It’s Intelligence
Disconnected tools will always limit your safety program.
Proactive prevention requires a platform built on one principle:
You can’t prevent tomorrow’s incident with yesterday’s disconnected data.
With SafetyVue, your AR scan, Mobile App activity, and Insights engine work as one system—powering a predictive safety program that protects people, projects, and margins.
Stop relying on disconnected tools. Start building a smarter, safer jobsite. Download the Field Intelligence Playbook and learn how to capture total site risk with one connected system.
