One integration. 270 sites. Zero manual card checks.
Persimmon Homes embedded CSCS Smart Check across all their sites in six months.
If your site teams are still checking CSCS-logoed cards manually – taking photocopies, filing records, hoping no one slips through with an expired or revoked card – there’s a better way.
And one of the UK’s biggest housebuilders has already proved it works.
Persimmon Homes embedded the CSCS Smart Check API into their induction and site access app, The Persimmon Way. The result: every card is automatically verified against the CSCS Smart Check database at induction and at every subsequent sign-in, across all 270 of their sites.
No manual checks. No paperwork. No risk of outdated photocopies sitting in a filing cabinet while a card has long since expired or been revoked.
Here’s what changed:
Expired, revoked and fraudulent cards are flagged automatically
Site managers no longer need to maintain local card records
Health and safety teams have full visibility of workforce credentials
In incident or audit scenarios, qualification and training records are available instantly
The whole solution went from initial idea to live implementation in six months
CSCS Smart Check is referenced in Construction Leadership Council guidelines as the recommended method for verifying CSCS-logoed cards on site. It’s already used and trusted by industry’s biggest names – and it’s available for you to integrate into your own systems today.
