Avetta Worker Management App

Overview

Contract workers often face significant challenges in accessing physical work sites due to complex compliance requirements and inefficient processes. Traditional methods involve manual registrations, paper-based approvals, and long wait times, delaying workers from getting on-site and starting their jobs. nearby people, events, and groups based on shared interests.

For organizations managing contract workers, ensuring compliance and access control is a time-consuming and error-prone process. Clients need a centralized way to verify worker qualifications, while suppliers struggle to get their workers site-ready without delays.Without a structured approach, companies risk inefficiencies, project delays, and compliance breaches, affecting both profitability and worker experience. A digital worker management solution was required to automate these processes, giving clients, suppliers, and workers a transparent, efficient, and scalable way to handle compliance requirements and site access.

Avetta with its mobile application provides a comprehensive digital solution for worker registration, compliance tracking, and site access management. Workers can self-register, complete their profiles, set language preferences, upload required documents, and access their Digital Worker ID Cards. Clients and suppliers gain real-time visibility into worker compliance status, ensuring faster approvals and site access. The app also supports QR code scanning for check-ins, role-based access requirements, and automated competency verification, eliminating paperwork and delays. By digitizing the entire process, the solution empowers workers, enhances supplier efficiency, and ensures seamless worker management, ultimately improving productivity and business outcomes.

Features

Worker Self-Registration

Workers can quickly register and create profiles, streamlining the onboarding process and eliminating manual delays.




Digital Worker ID Cards

Workers receive digital ID cards, allowing seamless site check-ins and verifications without physical paperwork.



QR Code-Based Access Management
Enables quick site entry and compliance verification through QR code scanning, ensuring only authorized workers access restricted locations.
Real-Time Compliance Tracking
Clients and suppliers can monitor worker compliance status, ensuring workers meet role and site-specific requirements before arriving on-site.

Role & Site-Based Access Requirements
Workers can view their assigned roles and understand the necessary compliance criteria for different sites, minimizing last-minute issues.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) & Biometrics
Provides enhanced security for workers by enabling MFA authentication (OTP, email verification) and biometric login (fingerprint/Face ID) for secure access.
Multi-Language Support
Allows workers to select their preferred language, ensuring better accessibility and understanding of compliance processes.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Allows workers to log in using corporate credentials, enhancing security and simplifying authentication.






Client & Supplier Dashboard
Provides clients and suppliers with a centralized interface to manage worker compliance and track approvals.

Worker Check-In/Check-Out & Site Monitoring
Clients and suppliers can manage worker check-ins and check-outs by selecting a site within the app. They can also access a summarized view of all workers on-site, with overdue check-outs automatically highlighted for better tracking and compliance management.
Email Verification via Deep Link
When workers update their email address, they must verify it through a secure deep link sent to their new email before the update is applied.

Key Components

<span class="mil-accent"> Frontend</span>
Frontend
  • React Native: Cross-platform framework for building iOS and Android apps using JavaScript and React.






Localization & Authentication
  • Phrase (Translation Service): Manages and delivers multilingual content for localization.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enhances security by requiring additional verification (e.g., OTP, biometrics).
  • Single Sign-On (SSO): Allows users to log in with a single set of credentials across multiple services.
Offline Support
  • Realm (Offline Database): A local database that ensures app functionality even without an internet connection.
Firebase Services
  • Firebase Crashlytics: Monitors and reports app crashes in real-time, helping debug issues quickly.
  • Firebase Performance: Tracks app performance, network latency, and UI responsiveness.
  • Firebase Remote Config: Dynamically updates app settings/features without requiring an app update.
  • Firebase In-App Messaging: Sends contextual messages to users to improve engagement and retention.
CI/CD & Analytics
  • GitHub Actions for CI/CD: Automates testing, building, and deploying apps to the Play Store and App Store.
  • FullStory (Analytics): Captures user interactions, behavior, and session recordings for better insights.

Deployment and Scalability

During deployment, several challenges arose, including iOS code signing issues, secure Play Store API access, frequent build failures, versioning conflicts, and delayed app reviews. Managing provisioning profiles, ensuring secure key storage, optimizing build times, maintaining version consistency, and automating metadata updates were key hurdles that complicated the release process.

To resolve these issues, Fastlane was integrated with GitHub Actions to establish a fully automated CI/CD pipeline. fastlane match was used to streamline iOS signing, while GitHub Secrets ensured secure storage of Play Store API credentials. Dependency caching helped minimize build failures, and fastlane_increment_version_number maintained consistent versioning across builds.

Automated metadata updates through Fastlane reduced app review delays, leading to quicker approvals from both app stores. With this optimized setup, the deployment process became significantly faster, more secure, and highly efficient, enabling seamless releases to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store with minimal manual intervention.

Security and Compliance

Authentication & Authorization
  • MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication): Adds an extra layer of security beyond passwords.
  • SSO (Single Sign-On): Ensures secure and streamlined user access with centralized authentication.




Data Security & Encryption
  • End-to-End Encryption: Ensures sensitive user data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
  • Secure Storage: Uses Keychain (iOS) and Encrypted SharedPreferences (Android) for storing authentication tokens.
  • Realm Encryption: Encrypts offline data stored in Realm for added security.

Firebase Security
  • Crashlytics & Performance Monitoring: Ensures that no sensitive user data is logged.
  • Remote Config: Ensures feature toggles and configurations are securely managed.




Compliance & Privacy
  • FullStory Data Masking: Masks sensitive user inputs (e.g., passwords, personal data) in session recordings.
  • App Store & Play Store Policies: Adheres to platform-specific security and privacy guidelines.

CI/CD Security
  • GitHub Actions Security: Uses secrets management and role-based access control to prevent unauthorized deployments.
  • Code Signing & App Integrity: Uses certificates, keystores, and App Store Connect for secure app distribution.
