ABOUT

Built for the way trades actually work.

Most systems never were. Workex captures what the people on the tools know, so it is never lost and the next apprentice learns faster. Safer sites, less downtime.

Workex turns the safety process your crews dread into a few taps on a phone.
Permits, SWMS, and sign-offs, done on site, done right, done in minutes.

WHY WE EXIST

WHY WE EXIST

Three things every
site is fighting.

Australian manufacturing is short on skilled trades, and it is getting shorter. The people who know the plant are retiring. The people replacing them are carrying more work with less handover.

Permits, SWMS, and sign-offs used to mean paper, clipboards, and chasing. Workex puts the whole process on the phone your crew already carries.

The trade shortage is real

The crew that knows the plant is retiring, with no one coming up behind them. Every site feels it now.

Employers are under pressure

More compliance, more reporting, the same hours in the day. Safety and sign-off get squeezed by whatever breaks that shift.

Knowledge walks out the door

When a senior tradesperson leaves, the machine history goes with them. Thirty years of know-how gone in a fortnight.

Our Mission

To equip every worker and apprentice with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to do their best work.

Our Vision

To empower every tradesperson and team to work smarter, share knowledge, and build trust through connected systems.

WE BUILT THE OPPOSITE

WE BUILT THE OPPOSITE

Capture the work first, everything else follows.

Capture the work first, everything else follows.

Most systems make you stop the job to feed the system. Workex works the other way around.

Permits, SWMS, and sign-offs used to mean paper, clipboards, and chasing. Workex puts the whole process on the phone your crew already carries.

Anyone Can Do It Right

The app carries the know-how of your best people, so a greener, thinner crew still works to standard.

Safety That Keeps Up

Capture the job as you do it and the compliance builds itself. Sign-off stops getting squeezed by the next breakdown.

Knowledge Stays Put

Every job links to the machine by QR. When a tradesperson leaves, the history does not go with them.

WHY WORKEX

WHY WORKEX

Not another office tool
pointed at the field.

Built for the field

Designed for gloves, glare and noise. It runs on the phone your crew already carries.

Baked in Australian WHS

SWMS, permits and sign-off built for how sites actually run here. Not a US template with the spelling changed.

Off the camera roll

Work photos and notes get captured into Workex, not lost in someone's camera roll. The record stays with the business.

Signed off on site

Permits and reports get signed on the spot, right on the phone. Audit-ready the moment the job is done.

WHO'S BEHIND WORKEX

Built by a tradie

Ian Cooper is a fitter machinist who spent ten years on the tools. He built Workex to end the clipboard battle he fought every shift.
