How it works

How Provenly works

Provenly does one job: it gets your H&S documents acknowledged by the right people, and keeps a record of every sign-off that holds up. It works in three steps — upload your documents, assign them to your team, and prove they've been read and signed.

The proof builds in the background as people confirm, so by the time anyone asks "can you show me?", the answer's already there.

1 Upload 2 Assign 3 Prove

Most managers set it up themselves in under an hour — no training day, no consultant, no IT project.

Step 1

Upload your documents

Drop in your policies, risk assessments, procedures and toolbox talks as PDFs — the files you've already got, exactly as they are. There's nothing to rebuild and no template to squeeze into. If you can attach it to an email today, you can upload it to Provenly.

When a document changes, upload the new version. The old one doesn't vanish: it stays locked, just as it was, to everyone who already signed it — so you always know which version each person actually agreed to, not only the latest one.

Step 2

Send them to the right people

Add your team in one go — paste a list of names and emails, or import a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel). Group people by role, site or shift, and assign a document to a whole group in a single click. When someone new joins, drop them into their group and they automatically pick up everything that group is meant to have — nobody slips through because you forgot.

Not sure which groups a document applies to? Provenly can suggest them for you. You stay in control and make the call.

Everyone you assign gets an email, logs in, reads what's theirs, and ticks to confirm. Provenly spaces the requests out so nobody opens their inbox to a wall of twenty documents — and it sends the reminders itself, then flags the stragglers to you only once they're overdue. You're not the one doing the chasing.

Step 3 — the payoff

See it's done, and keep the proof

One screen shows you the whole picture: every document, who's read and signed it, who's still outstanding, and who's overdue. No spreadsheet to reconcile, no sent-items to dig through — you can tell at a glance whether you're actually on top of it.

Underneath, Provenly is building the record. Every sign-off is written once and can't be edited afterwards. Each one captures the time, who confirmed it, the device and network they confirmed from, and the exact version of the document they saw. The whole log is cryptographically chained, so if anything were altered anywhere, it would show.

That's the part the big suites tend to skip. They'll tell you a document was sent — but not prove what each person actually saw and agreed to, in a record that can't be quietly rewritten later.

When your health & safety consultant visits, give them their own read-only login. They can see every document and the full sign-off history across your business — so they review it in advance, and the visit becomes a conversation, not a paperwork hunt.

Getting everyone in

Everyone has a way in — even the ones who aren't online

Provenly is built for real workforces, not just the people at a desk. Here's how each person gets set up and signs in — including what happens when someone doesn't have a company email, or isn't confident with tech.

You & your managers
Owner · Manager

You sign your business up yourself — no demo to book — and invite your managers by email. Because you can change documents and see everyone's records, you sign in with a password and a quick second step (a code on your phone), so the people with control are always verified.

Two-step sign-in — always on
Your team, with email
Employee · default

You add them in seconds; they get an invite, confirm who they are, then sign in however suits them — a password, or a one-tap magic link with nothing to remember. It all works on the phone already in their pocket. No app to install.

Magic link or password
Your team, no work email
Employee · off-grid

No email, no problem. Provenly gives you a printed slip with a QR code for each person — they scan it, set a password, and they're in. Nobody gets left out because they're not online, and you stay their point of contact.

No email needed

"My team isn't great with tech."

Most never touch a password — they tap the magic link in their email and they're reading. For anyone off email entirely, the QR slip is as simple as scanning a menu in a café. Provenly sends the reminders; you're not chasing.

"Half my lot don't have a work email."

That's exactly what the no-email path is for. You generate a slip per person, hand it over, and they're set up on their own phone in under a minute — the same locked sign-off lands in your record either way.

Because everyone signs in as themselves, every sign-off in your record is tied to a named, verified person — not just "someone on the office wifi." That's what turns a tick into proof.

What your team sees

For everyone else, it's about a minute.

The work lands on you, not your team. They get a link, read what's theirs, and tick to confirm — on their own phone, no app to install. The first time, they just confirm who they are. Here's exactly what that looks like, using a risk assessment.

Why Provenly's different

One job, done properly

Most H&S tools try to cover everything — HR advice, insurance, the lot. Provenly deliberately doesn't. It does the one thing those suites treat as an afterthought: getting your documents acknowledged and keeping the evidence straight.

Setting it up

The practical questions

The things managers actually ask before they start.

How long does it take to set up?

Most managers are up and running in under an hour. You upload your existing PDFs, add your team from a list or spreadsheet, and assign — there's no implementation project and no one to wait on. You can start with a single policy and one group, then build it out as you go.

Do I have to retype or rebuild my documents?

No. Provenly takes your existing documents as PDFs, exactly as they are — your current policies, risk assessments and procedures. There are no templates to fill in and nothing to reformat. If you can attach it to an email today, you can upload it.

Can I bring my team in from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Paste a list of names and emails, or import a CSV or Excel file, and your whole team is in. Group them by role, site or shift, and you can assign documents to an entire group at once rather than one person at a time.

What if some of my team don't have an email address?

They can still take part. For anyone without a work email, Provenly gives you a printed slip with a QR code to hand over — they scan it on their own phone, set a password, and they're in. Their sign-offs land in the same record as everyone else's, so nobody's left out of the evidence.

My team isn't very confident with technology — is it simple for them?

Yes. Most people never set or remember a password — they tap a magic link in their email, read the document, and tick once to confirm. It's mobile-first and there's no app to install. You stay their point of contact, and Provenly sends the reminders so you're not chasing.
