Introduction

The Workforce by Avetta Mobile App is designed to help Workers access Avetta Sites without needing to carry a physical card, to view and manage their compliance documents, access training, check site access, or using the Tap to Access functionality, gain site access at boom gates, turnstiles, and another access points. 

Workers can: 

  • View their Avetta Workforce Management profile from wherever they are in the world, 
  • Access all of their Workforce Management eCards in one place, and never worry about losing or damaging their plastic cards, 
  • Inspect a card to see issue & expiry dates, 
  • Use Tap-to-Access Functionality and get On-site in seconds (for participating Workforces only). Tap-to-Access uses Bluetooth for near-field communication, and we DO NOT use location data. Avetta is committed to protecting you on-site, and your data always.
  • Take Online Training to fulfill compliance/competency requirements
  • Check Access to Sites once they're Work Ready

In this article, you’ll find information to help you get the most out of the Workforce by Avetta mobile application.

Getting Started

Client, Supplier, and Avetta Admins can enable workers to be Mobile Access ready by inviting the Worker. Before this step can happen, the Supplier Admin must have added the Workers in the Workforce Management Supplier Portal and assigned them to the appropriate sites and roles.
In a future iteration, Client and Supplier Admins will be able to send the invitations themselves from their Portals. 

  • Inviting the Worker
    • For security and liability purposes, each Worker must be invited to use the Workforce Mobile App. They must have a verified profile, then invited by a unique email or SMS text message which will provide them with a link to download and permission to join the app.
    • Once the Admin sends the invitation to the Worker, the Worker will see instructions to download the App from the App Store or from Google Play for either iPhone or Android access.
    • Once Workers have downloaded the App, they’ll need to tap Get Started with by entering the email or mobile phone number they were invited by, and then enter the 6-digit code that is sent to the same email or mobile phone number to continue the authentication process.
    • After the Worker enters in the code, they’ll need to create a password.

Clients and Suppliers can invite a Worker to download and join the Workforce Mobile App through their respective portals. For a Worker to receive an invitation to download the app, the contact email or phone number needs to be unique to the Worker.

  • If they are unique, a green check will appear next to the phone number and email in the Worker’s profile after selecting “Manage Employee.” If they are not, a red X will show. To edit the employee’s personal details, click the Edit button in the top right corner of their profile.
  • In their profile, click Invite to Workforce Mobile App.
  • If the Worker’s phone number or email are unique and they have not been sent an invitation, you will see “Not Invited.”
  • Click the button, and then specify the invite method (i.e., email, SMS, or both) and click Send Invitation. The status on the button will then change to “Invited.”
  • Once the Worker has received the invitation, downloaded and joined the app, the message will change to “Joined.”



Worker Experience

  • Once the Worker sets their password, they will be able to log in and view their profile and Onsite ID.
  • Workers can now view their Profile, see their roles and competencies for various clients, review expiring/expired documents and their QR code if required for site access.


Tap On or Off

There are two methods of access: Tap On or Off or My QR Code.

  • My QR code is the primary means of access for most Clients, especially in the United States. 
  • Tapping on My QR Code will bring up a unique QR code for that Worker which can be scanned by the Client’s mobile App to bring up the Worker’s profile, their roles, their requirements.
    As well, they can be checked in and out of the site. 
  • Tap On or Off, used only in Australia, New Zealand, and at select sites, is a method of Worker access for Clients that have a Bluetooth reader at their site (small black box shown in the image above).
  • With Bluetooth readers, if the light goes green, the Worker is compliant and has access to the site. If the light is red, the Worker will not have access to the site and the gate will stay closed.
  • Note: For this functionality to work, the Bluetooth on the worker’s device needs to be activated under ‘Settings’.



Check My Access

  • If Workers have a profile picture and a valid subscription, they’ll be able to see their digital worker ID cards for all the clients they work for, as well as check their site access status.
    • After selecting the Client’s digital ID card, select Check My Access on the Card Details screen.
    • Select a company. If the Worker has only one company, it will default to that company.
    • Select a site from the dropdown.
    • After a site is selected, the Worker can see the locations within that site and their ability to access those locations. Tap the location chip for more information.


Keeping up To Date

Workers can view subscription status, Role and Work Ready site access, roles, and relevant requirements, and they can plan for expiring items.

Note: The profile picture and subscription are managed by the Supplier Administrator in the Supplier Portal. The Worker cannot initiate this process

Should there be any upcoming competency or requirement expirations, Workers will see an “Expiring Soon” alert when they tap in to view their roles. They can tap on each requirement for more details.


Take Training

If a role competency is expiring or not completed and can be fulfilled by an online training course, the Worker can complete the training through the App.

  • Select a role that is expiring or missing a valid record.
  • Select Launch Online Training. The training will open in landscape mode.
  • A course certificate is available in the App upon course completion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

Downloading the App

  • I don’t see the App in the App store. Why? 
    • If you don’t see the App in the Google Play or App (Apple) Store, this likely means the App was not yet enabled for your region. Your Supplier Admin can reach out to the Client to request regional enablement.

Signing In

  • Why do I need to sign in to use the App? 
    • Many mobile applications require users to sign in to access personalized features or to protect user data and privacy. By signing in, the App can verify your identity and ensure that your data is only accessible by you.
  • What information do I need to have handy to sign in? 
    • The Workforce Mobile App is an Invite only application. When you receive an invite to download and sign in, you will need to keep the following handy:
      • If the invite was sent to your personal/work email, keep this info. handy. 
      • If the invite was sent to you via SMS on your personal or work mobile number, keep this info. handy. 
      • Avetta validates the invite method with the above option to match and confirm the invitation method before it allows you to go through the next step of registration. 
  • How do I ensure my sign-in information is secure?
    • Choose a strong and unique password not used in your other accounts. You can also enable two-factor authentication, which requires a secondary verification method.
  • I never received a confirmation code. Why not?
    • If you didn’t receive a confirmation code, that may mean:
      • You already have an account with Avetta, in which case a code is not needed
      • You’re entering in a different mobile number/email than the one in the invite
      • You’re using the opposite registration method. That is, if the invite was sent via email, you MUST register with the email (not SMS), and vice versa.
  • Why am I being asked to grant permissions when signing into the App? 
    • To enable the Bluetooth for Tap to Access feature, FaceID recognition, and to store your password, the App may require your permission. Read the permissions before granting access. If you choose not to grant access, functionality in the App may not work as desired.

Supplier Admin Specific Questions

  • What roles will Workers see when they log into the App? 
    • Upon login into the App the worker will see all active Roles Applied to that Worker’s profile under applicable Clients.

  • Will Workers see all their Client cards? 
    • Yes. Valid, Blocked, expiring soon, and expired subscriptions will be visible for the relevant Client

  • Does the App time out?  
    • The App will request Workers re-sign in with their created password after 28 days. The worker can then sign into the App by using the store password (via Face ID if enabled) or type in the relevant password to get access to the application.
