Over-C, a company that specialises in the development of advanced web application software integrated with Near Field Communication (NFC) mobile phones, has introduced onSite, a new real-time personnel management and reporting service for security firms and their clients in the construction industry. 

Because the application is web-based, anyone authorised and involved with managing access to a construction site can access onSite at the touch of a button.  This provides construction companies with the means to control operational costs as well as a range of innovative web-based features which are practical, easy to use and add enormously to productivity.

One of the first companies using onSite is DCT Security Ltd.  Commenting, Andrew Forrest, Group Operations Director, DCT Security Ltd, said:  "We provide security officers because that's what we do.  We never dreamed of investing in technology but Over-C came in and showed how we could increase our margins through innovation.  I was dubious initially but the response from our clients has been overwhelming.  Over-C has given DCT security a competitive advantage that will be hard to beat."

Using the same principles of real-time information reporting through NFC technology, onSite provides a range of personnel management services including the ability for security guards to scan staff ID badges on entry and exit of the site, logging location and time.  onSite also enables security firms to check on the whereabouts of individuals in any given situation, such as a site evacuation.  With staff already scanned into the system, onSite produces an immediate report of who is missing, and can deliver automated text messages requesting that missing personnel report to muster points to check in.
