AttendIQ vs Datascope
Datascope captures data on construction sites. AttendIQ manages your workforce compliance - the people, their qualifications, their time on site, and their access rights - with forms included.
UK construction contractors who need to manage workforce compliance - competency tracking, inductions, attendance, access control, and forms - in one purpose-built platform. From £4.50/worker/month.
Multi-industry data capture and inspection workflows. Used across construction, utilities, and facilities management. Better suited where the primary need is structured form-based data collection, not workforce compliance.

Different tools for different problems
Datascope is a capable data capture and inspection platform that has found use in construction alongside utilities, facilities management, and other industries. It solves the problem of structured digital data collection - replacing paper inspection sheets with mobile-friendly forms that feed into a dashboard.
AttendIQ solves a different problem: how does a UK construction contractor manage their workforce's compliance with CDM 2015, Building Safety Act 2022, CSCS requirements, and HSE expectations - while also digitising forms, attendance, and access control.
These are not the same problem. If your primary requirement is multi-industry inspection data capture, Datascope is worth evaluating. If your requirement is construction workforce compliance, AttendIQ is purpose-built for it.
The workforce compliance picture
UK construction compliance requires managing a connected set of worker data that Datascope is not designed to handle: which workers have current competency cards, which have completed the site induction, which have current right to work documents, who is currently on site, what are their competency expiry dates, and do they meet the access rules for this specific site.
AttendIQ manages all of this in a single worker record - connected to attendance, access decisions, and form submissions - with automatic alerts, access blocking, and HSE-exportable records built in.
The verdict
Datascope is a forms and inspection tool that construction companies use alongside other systems. AttendIQ is a workforce compliance platform that includes forms. For UK contractors who need to demonstrate compliance to their principal contractor or the HSE, AttendIQ provides a more complete answer and eliminates the need for multiple disconnected tools.
Construction compliance.
One platform.
