CSCS Smart Check has been upgraded with a new API that records GPS coordinates, site ID or name, and the reason for each card scan (pre‑induction, induction, re‑induction, routine check, site entry or other), feeding data from both the web portal and app into approved access and induction systems. The changes are designed to support Building Safety Act compliance and strengthen workforce planning. Combined with CSCS Alliance Workforce Insights, which aggregates anonymised data from over 2.3 million cardholders across 37 schemes, the platform now gives a more granular geographic view of skills and occupational density.

Genesis Energy, New Zealand’s largest electricity retailer and a major generator, has gone live on Workday’s enterprise AI platform to consolidate management of its 1000-plus workforce and financial operations.

For mining and heavy-industry peers, the move signals growing adoption of integrated, AI-enabled back-office platforms to support large asset fleets and complex shift-based labour models.
