Marcus Mattox, Vice President of Growth for BuilderFax, joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and talked about their app and how it can benefit construction workers and training centers.

Mattox described BuilderFax as a simple tool for tradesmen and tradeswomen to build, track and store their credentials on their cell phones. He noted that the app is similar to Google or Apple Wallet. It stores their credentials, licenses, training certificates—anything. Mattox said this is a more secure and easier way to keep track of an individual’s records. He added that it is easy to use, and individuals who are not tech-savvy will have little trouble using the product.

Mattox explained the app can provide alerts for when a credential or license is about to expire. However, they are working on an update to the app that would allow users to customize their alerts if they want them earlier than a month before the expiration date. 

They have another tool on the organization side that is designed to issue and track credentials. This can be used by a trainer, contractor or supplier to show that a person has received a specific certification or completed a training course. It works in conjunction with their BuilderFax app. 

To learn more about BuilderFax, listen to the show above.
