Do I need to drop SiteDocs to use HitchGuardian?

No. They solve different jobs. SiteDocs stores compliance documents and safety forms. HitchGuardian verifies, qualifies, and signs off on the right crew before the truck rolls. Operators who run both keep their safety paperwork system and add the readiness layer that confirms the right crew is going to the right job.

Can SiteDocs alert me when a worker is unqualified for a job before dispatch?

SiteDocs is built for forms and inspections, not for active prevention at the dispatch gate. It tracks documents and stores audit records. HitchGuardian connects certifications to scheduling and job requirements, and flags the assignment before the truck rolls. That is the difference between passive storage and active prevention.

Does HitchGuardian replace our compliance tracking, or layer on top of it?

It depends on your stack. HitchGuardian has its own native compliance library built specifically for oilfield operations. We are also integrated with Workhub, so if you already run Workhub for safety training, certifications flow into HitchGuardian and get checked against assignments before dispatch. With SiteDocs, the two systems run side by side: SiteDocs for paperwork, HitchGuardian for readiness.

Comparison

HitchGuardian vs SiteDocs

SiteDocs is a strong safety forms and inspections platform used widely across construction and energy. If your primary need is digitized safety paperwork, audit-ready inspection records, and field-completed forms, SiteDocs is the tool to evaluate. HitchGuardian solves a different problem. We verify, qualify, and sign off on the right crew before the truck rolls. We connect scheduling, qualifications, and journey management in one workflow. Different jobs, often complementary, never identical.

When SiteDocs is the right call

If your number one operational pain is digitized safety forms, field inspections, audit-ready documentation, and a paperwork system that field crews will actually use, SiteDocs is a credible choice. Operators who have a mature dispatch flow and a coordinator who never misses a cert check, but who are drowning in paper safety forms, get more out of SiteDocs than they would out of HitchGuardian. The two products can coexist; many of our prospects already run SiteDocs for safety paperwork.

When HitchGuardian is the better fit

If the failure that costs you money is not paperwork, it is the wrong crew rolling out at 5:30am with an expired H2S Alive or no confined space clearance for the job they were assigned to. HitchGuardian is built for the gap between scheduling, certification storage, and journey management. The dispatcher still owns the deploy decision. HitchGuardian is the gate, not the autopilot. If your day-the-coordinator-is-out feels like a coin flip, that is the system this was built for.
