The business
Griffin Scaffolding design, erect and dismantle scaffolding for commercial and local authority clients across London. Around 150 people, working across fixed sites and mobile teams moving between jobs.
Scaffolding carries a compliance burden most trades don't. Everyone needs the right card, the right training, and a signed RAMS for the job in front of them — and if a client or the HSE asks, you need to prove it, not describe it.
Vyce Forms — RAMS and toolbox talks
This is the part that changed how Griffin operate.
Every RAMS and toolbox talk goes out through Vyce. People read and sign on their phones, and the record files itself against the person, timestamped.
The important bit is what happens if they don't. Vyce blocks clock-in until the RAMS is signed. No signature, no start.
That turns a policy into a control. Site supervisors aren't chasing signatures or making a judgement call at seven in the morning about whether to let someone crack on. The system decides, consistently, every time.
“Nobody gets on site until they've signed. It's not a conversation any more, it's just how it works — and I can evidence every one of them in seconds.”
Vyce Time
Clocking in happens on phones, across both fixed sites and mobile teams. No hardware to install at each location, which matters when the locations change.
For teams on the road, the breadcrumbs view shows where everyone is in real time — so dispatch and supervision are based on where people actually are, not where they were supposed to be.
Hours go to payroll as recorded.
What it means
Griffin were compliant before. What they have now is the evidence, automatically, without anyone compiling it.
For a scaffolding contractor working with local authorities and commercial clients, that's the difference between saying you have a system and being able to show it on demand.
