CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE IS TOUGH. KEEPING YOUR CREW SHOULDN'T BE.
You build the roads, bridges, and rail. We build the culture that keeps your workforce safe and employed. EXCLUSIVE CCF OFFER: Start your pilot at the summit and get your first month FREE. Stop policing, start winning.
The Civil Contractor's Crisis
You are dealing with vast open sites, heavy plant machinery, and decentralized workforces. The old way of managing safety—rules, punishments, and endless forms—is failing to protect your people or your bottom line.
Your Daily Reality:
Recruitment is Hard. Retention is Harder.
Australia is facing a massive shortage of skilled civil workers. When you lose a worker to the site down the road for $2 more an hour, you aren't just losing a set of hands; you're losing project momentum. A winning culture is the only retention strategy that works.
The "Tough Guy" Culture is Breaking
Suicide rates in construction are disproportionately high. On decentralized civil sites, isolation is a killer. The "tough guy" mentality stops workers from speaking up. You need a tool that fosters connection before correction.
Compliance Fatigue Has Set In
Workers are tired of the "stick." Safety stats have plateaued because your crew sees safety as a barrier to productivity, not a part of it. When safety feels like policing, you get compliance only when you're watching.
Safety vs. Productivity
The perception that safety slows down the job is costing you money. We flip the script: Safe work is efficient work. By rewarding quality and safety simultaneously, you align your project timeline with your safety goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from toolbox talks and safety incentive programs?
Traditional safety programs focus on compliance through fear. Scratchie creates engagement through instant positive reinforcement. Instead of monthly safety BBQs that reward luck, you're recognising specific behaviours daily. It's the difference between hoping for safety and actively building it.
What if workers try to game the system?
Convo Card operates within the Scratchie platform, which features comprehensive Open APIs designed for seamless integration. Whether you're using SafetyCulture, Procore, Hammertech, or any other safety management system, our API connections enable smooth data flow between platforms. This means you can maintain your existing workflows while adding the engagement benefits of Convo Card without disrupting your current processes or requiring duplicate data entry.
How much should we budget for rewards?
Traditional safety reporting systems often create barriers to participation through lengthy forms, complex procedures, and delayed feedback loops. Convo Card transforms this experience entirely. Reports can be submitted in under 30 seconds using voice, photo, or quick text entry. Supervisors receive immediate alerts, enabling rapid response to potential hazards. Most importantly, workers are rewarded for their proactive reporting, creating positive reinforcement rather than viewing safety reporting as a burden. This combination of speed, immediacy, and recognition drives significantly higher participation rates.
Do workers need smartphones?
Convo Card comes with Scratchie Pro: one flat monthly price per site, sized by a typical busy day, with no per-worker fees. See current plans and prices.
