Field work scattered across radios, spreadsheets and memory.
Rail field operations are unforgiving: crews work alone, in remote and signal-dead places, against strict safety rules. When job status lives in phone calls and a worker’s last check-in is a guess, small problems become serious ones. GuardianOS was our answer: give the office one live picture, and give crews tools that keep working even when the network doesn’t.
One platform, office to trackside.
Operations command
A live map, activity feed and KPI dashboard so the office can see every job and crew at a glance.
Workforce & scheduling
Jobs, staff records, certifications and shifts in one place, kept in sync across the team.
Lone-worker safety
Timed check-ins with automatic escalation provide a defensible record when something goes wrong.
Offline-first field app
Crews keep working in tunnels and depots; everything syncs the moment a signal returns.
Built for crews, not desks.
The mobile app is offline-first and stripped to what matters on site. It is fast to use with gloves on, in a tunnel, at 6am. Check in, log evidence, raise an SOS; it all syncs back the moment there’s signal.
- Start & complete jobs in the field
- Lone-worker check-ins & escalation
- Photo & evidence capture
- GPS & last-known location
- SOS / panic with location
- Works fully offline
In development, and getting its own home.
GuardianOS is actively in build and heading toward launch as a standalone product, with its own site at guardianbyhm.app. The approach behind it is domain-first, safety-grade, and shaped directly with the people who’ll use it. It is exactly how we’d build yours.
