Instead of Beakon
Stop buying Beakon by the module. Own your safety and contractor system.
Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your contractors are inducted, how your sites report and how actions get closed, moves your Beakon records across, and runs it for you. One system, owned by you.
Beakon publishes no prices. It offers a 30-day trial and quotes each business after a demo.

What the subscription buys
A catalogue of modules laid over a few plain registers
Beakon lists permit to work, audits, incidents, risk, a task register, contractor management, e-learning and visitors, and claims more than a hundred connected modules. Underneath sit the same few lists every site keeps: people, events, risks, checks and the actions that come out of them.
A quote you only see after the demo
The Beakon site shows a free trial and a demo button, never a figure. You learn the cost in a sales conversation.
Separate modules for one set of people
Contractor management, e-learning and the visitor register are listed as separate modules. The record of who is qualified to be on site is one list, however many modules show it.
A vendor inside a bigger portfolio
Ideagen announced it had bought Beakon in February 2025, its fourth acquisition in twelve months. Where the product goes next is now a decision made inside a much larger group.
Dashboards in place of a daily answer
Beakon promises dashboards and reporting. Someone still has to open them, filter them and decide what matters today, every day, before anything gets done.
A task register built on alerts
Due dates, alerts and escalations keep emails moving. What the site manager needs is one ranked list each morning, with what could hurt someone at the top.
Years of records behind a login
Beakon's public pages describe dashboards and reporting but name no plain export. Your incident and contractor history is yours, but their pages do not say how you get all of it out.
What you get instead
The records Beakon splits into modules, held in one place you control
Contractors
Know who is cleared to be on site before they arrive
Workers and contractors sit on one list with their company, their inductions and their tickets, whatever crew they turn up with.
- check Anyone on the tools with a missing or lapsed site induction is named on the morning list
- check Tickets expiring in the next sixty days show up by name, before the day they run out
- check An expired ticket sits beside any incident that person was part of
- check No charge per contractor, so a short job does not change what you pay
Events
Incidents that cannot be closed early
Log what happened and the system works out whether the regulator must be told, then will not let the record close until it has been.
- check A notifiable event stays open until the date the regulator was told is recorded
- check Every investigation ends in a corrective action or a written reason why none was needed
- check The written notification is drafted from the record for a person to check and send
- check Near misses per site across twelve months, so a site that goes quiet stands out
Risk and checks
A risk register that pushes back
Hazards are scored on a five by five matrix, inspections schedule their next round, and findings become owned actions on the spot.
- check A high hazard held only by PPE or paperwork stays flagged until better controls are in
- check Each hazard shows every incident it has caused
- check Finishing an inspection books the next one and turns findings into actions with owners
- check Overdue actions show where they came from and who owns them, worst first
Ownership
Your safety history, readable by anything, owned by you
Your people, events, risks and training live in a database your business controls. Nothing about it changes when a software company changes hands.
- check Your Beakon registers brought across and checked on arrival, with a test run first
- check Any imported event that should have been reported and was not goes straight to the top of the list
- check Permit to work, a visitor sign-in or a phone form for the field built in if you use them
- check Records kept for as long as the law asks, with no subscription deciding when access ends

Switching
How to switch from Beakon
Moving off Beakon is mostly a data job: you pull your registers out, match them to the new layout, check the results, and only then turn Beakon off.
- 1
Pull your registers out of Beakon
Beakon's public pages do not name a one-click export, only business intelligence and reporting, so start with the reports your account can run. Pull your contractors, incidents, risks and tasks from those reports. If your Beakon account offers CSV or Excel, use that. If you are not sure what your account allows, check with Beakon directly before you start.
- 2
Load it as a test first
The free version reads a different layout to Beakon, so the columns need matching before anything loads for real. Run a test load first and look at what comes through before you commit it. This is where field names, statuses and categories from Beakon get lined up against the new record, and nothing is final until you say so.
- 3
Check what the import flags
The load itself acts as a first audit. Anything that looks wrong, a hazard missing a control, a ticket already expired, gets surfaced straight away rather than sitting quietly in the register. Go through that list before you trust the data. This is your chance to catch anything Beakon's reports left vague or incomplete.
- 4
Run both systems together briefly
Keep Beakon live for a short stretch while the new records settle in. Check the same incidents, contractors and overdue actions in both places and confirm they agree. This is where you catch anything missed in the move, a contractor left out, an incident logged twice, before you rely on the new system alone for the answer.
- 5
Turn Beakon off
Once the side by side checks come back clean and everyone who touches the safety record is working from the new system, cancel Beakon. Keep whatever export or reports you pulled during the move on file in case you need them later, then close the account.
Where the real effort goes
The real work is not moving the data across, it is deciding how your own fields, statuses and rules map onto the new record, and how much history from Beakon is worth bringing rather than leaving behind. That judgment call is where time actually goes. Enterprise DNA does this mapping and the load for you when you have them run it.

Questions
Instead of Beakon, answered
Beakon does permit to work and visitor sign-in. Does this? expand_more
The free version covers contractors, inductions, tickets, incidents, hazards, inspections and actions. Permits and a visitor sign-in are built into your version by Enterprise DNA, on the same records, so a permit knows who holds a current ticket.
How do we get our records out of Beakon? expand_more
Beakon's public pages name no one-click export, so we start with the reports your account can run and pull your contractors, incidents, risks and tasks from those. If your team has another route out, we use that. Either way you see a test run before anything is loaded.
Will a Beakon export load straight into the free version? expand_more
Not as it comes. The free version reads a different layout, so the columns need matching first. That matching is part of what Enterprise DNA does in the setup, or you can ask Claude Code to do it if you are running it yourself.
We run sites in Australia. Does it know our rules? expand_more
The free version's rule book is written to New Zealand law and cites each section it checks. In your version Enterprise DNA rewrites those rules for the places you operate, with the sources kept beside each one. None of it is legal advice.
Our crews use the Beakon app on site. What replaces it? expand_more
The free version is run by whoever keeps the safety records, in plain language. If crews need to report from the field, Enterprise DNA builds a phone form or message flow into your version, and every report lands in the same database.
Stop renting your contractor records one module at a time
Thirty minutes with Sam. We look at which Beakon modules you pay for, which ones your sites actually use, and what your own version would look like. If it is a fit, we build it and run it. If not, the free version is yours to keep.
Health and Safety for Claude Code is free and open source, published by Enterprise DNA.
