You didn't get into this to chase expiry dates.

Compliance is dull, relentless and unforgiving — and it's nobody's actual job. So hand it over. We build your register, watch every date in it, and tell you what needs doing. You'll know you're compliant before your client asks.

45minof your time. Once.

01 — The Thursday afternoon

Their compliance team emails. You lose a day.

They want the insurance schedule, the CHAS certificate, the training matrix, and CSCS cards for the six lads starting Monday.

So somebody goes through the filing cabinet and the shared drive. Halfway down the list you find out an operative's IPAF ticket ran out in June and nobody noticed. Now you're pulling him off the job or booking an emergency course at four times the price.

It's never one big failure. It's a card that quietly ran out.

A policy that renewed on different terms. An inspection that slipped a month. Every one of them was a date somebody could have seen coming — if watching dates had been anybody's job.

It isn't. It's the thing that gets done when there's a spare hour, which there never is. And it sits at the back of your mind the rest of the time.

02 — What goes in

Three registers. One database.

Everything with a date on it, in one place.

REG 01

Workforce

  • CSCS · CPCS · NPORS
  • IPAF · PASMA
  • SMSTS · SSSTS
  • First aid · asbestos
  • Face fit · height
  • Licences · tacho cards
  • Right to work · DBS
REG 02

Company

  • Employers' liability
  • Public liability
  • Professional indemnity
  • Contractors all risks
  • CHAS · Constructionline
  • SafeContractor · ISO
  • Policies · waste carrier
REG 03

Plant

  • LOLER examinations
  • PUWER inspections
  • PAT testing
  • Calibration
  • MOT · servicing
  • Plant insurance

If something you track isn't listed, we add it. The database doesn't care what the item is — requirement, issue date, expiry date, reminder.

03 — The honest bit

"We've got a spreadsheet for that."

Everyone has. And it was accurate the day it was made.

The problem was never building the list. It's that a list can't tap you on the shoulder. It sits in a folder being quietly wrong while three cards expire and a policy renews on different terms, and it only tells you anything on the day somebody thinks to open it.

A spreadsheet remembers. It doesn't remind.

Which means the real work isn't the typing. It's the watching — every week, forever, by someone who has better things to do and will eventually miss one. That's the part worth paying to be rid of.

So what actually changes hands?

We're straight about this, because the last thing you need is another supplier who overpromises.

WE DO

Ours

  • Build your register from scratch
  • Find what's already expired
  • Watch every date, every week
  • Tell you before it bites
  • Keep it audit-ready for PQQs
  • Answer the phone when you're stuck
YOU DO

Yours

  • 45 minutes with us at the start
  • Tick a box when someone joins
  • Tick a box when a card's renewed
  • Read one email on a Monday
  • That's the lot

Adding a new starter takes about twenty seconds. If even that's too much, we'll do it for you — but most people find it's quicker than telling us.

04 — The demo

Have a proper go on it.

Everything below is live and working, not screenshots. A made-up 14-person civils firm, loaded with real dates. Nothing you touch is saved or sent.

The score is weighted, not a headcount. An expired public liability policy drags it down far harder than one lad's manual handling refresher, because one of those stops you working and the other doesn't. A high score never hides a red item — the expired count sits beside it, always.
05 — Getting started

Forty-five minutes of your time. The rest is ours.

Nobody hands you an empty system and wishes you luck. You give us one call. We do the work that follows.

On the call, send whatever you've got — a spreadsheet, a training matrix, the contents of a folder, a photo of the wall planner. Or bring nothing and read it off the cards while we type. It genuinely doesn't matter how much of a mess it's in; sorting the mess out is the job.

Then you put the phone down and get back to work. Everything below happens at our end, and depending on the size of your firm it takes us anywhere from half a day to two days.

What we do after the call:

  1. Build your company compliance register
  2. Add your workforce and their competencies
  3. Add plant and equipment where required
  4. Enter every existing expiry date
  5. Identify what's already expired
  6. Identify what's missing entirely
  7. Flag everything expiring within 90 days
  8. Deliver your baseline compliance score
  9. Switch on ongoing monitoring
Most firms find three or four things already expired.

That's usually the moment people decide this was worth doing — and it's not something a spreadsheet would ever have told you.

The reason it takes us a day or two rather than an hour is that the awkward part isn't typing. It's working out what's missing rather than just what you remembered to mention: the operative with no face fit on record, the second telehandler nobody logged, the policy that renewed on different terms. We go looking for the gaps, then hand you back a register that's actually complete.

After that it's off your desk for good. No project, no rollout, nobody to train.

What we hold, and what we don't

Worth being precise about this, because it's the question your office manager will ask.

We store these
  • Insurance schedules
  • CHAS certificates
  • Constructionline & SafeContractor
  • ISO certificates
  • H&S and environmental policies

Company documents. No personal data in them, and main contractors ask for these constantly.

Coming later
  • CSCS and CPCS cards
  • IPAF, PASMA, SMSTS certificates
  • Training certificates

Competency certificates are personal data. We'll add them once the access controls and retention rules are right — not before.

Never. Not ever.
  • Passports
  • Visas and BRPs
  • Share code screenshots
  • Medicals and health records

For these we hold the expiry date and the reference number, and nothing else. This one is permanent, not a phase.

Which means if anyone ever got into your account, they'd find a list of dates — not a folder of your team's identity documents.

06 — Then it's monitored

Cheaper than one afternoon of finding out.

Priced on how many people you employ, not on how much paperwork you've got.

No contract, no notice period. Move plans when your headcount changes, and if you go quiet for a season we'll pause you rather than cancel — the register waits.

A download is a photograph, not a mirror. Export everything whenever you like — for a PQQ, a CHAS renewal, your broker. But it's accurate the day you take it and then it starts going out of date. Take a fresh one each time somebody asks, rather than sending round the copy from March.
07 — Talk to a human

Find out what's already expired.

Fifteen minutes on the phone. Bring whatever you've got and we will tell you straight whether this is worth it for a firm your size — including if it isn't. No pitch, no follow-up sequence, no obligation to do anything afterwards.

Or if you'd rather just talk:

inDate is a monitoring and reminder service, not legal, immigration or health-and-safety advice. You remain responsible for your own compliance — we tell you what you've told us, when you asked to be told. Regulatory requirements change; check anything critical against current guidance.
