Cadre, by Aevon

HR and certification tracking software for trades, transport and manufacturing.

Still tracking tickets in one spreadsheet and hires, reviews and policies in another? Cadre keeps every certification on the employee record, next to their onboarding, reviews and signed policies, so the renewal is already on the calendar when the course is done.

The spreadsheet

It fails in three specific ways

Not because it is a spreadsheet. Because of what it cannot know.

It only knows what it was told

A ticket renewed on a Tuesday is not in the file until somebody types it in. Between those two moments the sheet is confidently wrong, and it looks exactly the same as when it is right.

It belongs to one person

Whoever built it knows which tab is current and which column is stale. That knowledge is not in the file. It leaves when they take a week off, and it leaves for good when they do.

It cannot tell you about today

You can ask a sheet who was current at the last edit. You cannot ask it who is qualified to go up the lift this morning, which is the only question anyone actually asks.

What Cadre does about it

Five capabilities, in the order they matter.

  1. Every credential carries a real date

    An issue date, a renewal period and an expiry, per person and per ticket. Not a text field somebody types "current" into.

  2. It warns the person, then their supervisor

    By email and Microsoft Teams, before the date rather than after it, so there is still time to book the course.

  3. Completing the course closes the credential

    The training record and the certification are the same record, so the renewal clears the reminder. Nothing is re-keyed and nothing is chased twice.

  4. You can export who is current, on demand

    Filtered by site, by ticket or by status, as a CSV. The question an auditor asks is a screen, not an afternoon.

  5. The rest of HR is on the same record

    Onboarding, performance reviews, policy sign-off and the org chart live with the certifications, not in a second system. The supervisor who approves a hire is the one who hears their first aid is lapsing.

The Cadre renewals screen: staff listed with credential, issue date, expiry date and a status of Expired or Expiring, with counts for expired and for 30, 60 and 90 days.
The rest of HR

On the same record.

This is the part a dedicated expiry tracker cannot do. The reason the spreadsheet survives next to an HR tool is that neither one holds the whole person.

cadre-demo.web.app · dashboard
The Cadre dashboard: headcount, new this month, onboarding and offboarding in progress, open tasks, leadership reminders with dates, and a task list.

Headcount, who is onboarding, who is leaving, what is due. Signed in as an HR director at a sample company. Change things; it resets nightly.

Pricing

Priced per site, not per person.

Per-seat pricing charges you for hiring, and the crews who need tickets are the headcount that grows. So Cadre does not price that way.

One site, everything included
One flat monthly fee
  • Every module. There is no compliance add-on tier.
  • Onboarding, reviews, policies and the org chart are included, not sold as an HR add-on.
  • Unlimited employees at that site.
  • Import from whatever you keep now, the spreadsheet included.
  • Setup done with you, not handed over as homework.
  • Month to month. Your data, exportable in full.

What we would need to quote you

Headcount, how many sites, and which tickets you track today. That is enough for a flat monthly figure by email. There is no discovery call in front of it.

Where this actually stands

Cadre grew out of a system running in production at a 75-person organisation in BC, where it handles records, onboarding, training and credentials for the whole staff. That is one deployment. It is the only one we will claim, and we are not going to show you a wall of logos we do not have.

It is built by Aevon, a Canadian software company. You deal with the person who writes it, which is a real limit on how many customers we can take on and also the reason the product fits the way these companies work. The demo is the entire product with nothing held back, so you can judge all of that yourself.

Questions

Can I see it without talking to anyone?

Yes, and you should. The demo is the real application with a sample company loaded, signed in as an HR director. Nothing is a screenshot. Change things.

Who is it for?

Companies where the employer, not the individual, is accountable for the workforce's tickets: trades and construction, transport and fleet, manufacturing, food processing, security. Roughly 15 to 150 staff. Below about 15 nobody owns renewals yet and a spreadsheet genuinely is fine.

We already have an HR system. Does this replace it?

Usually yes, and that is the point, because running both is how the double entry starts. If you are locked into payroll elsewhere that is fine, because payroll is the one thing Cadre deliberately does not do.

Does it do payroll?

No, on purpose. Payroll is regulated, solved and well served. Cadre imports from your payroll system so the employee list stays in step.

How long does setup take?

Days. The work is importing your people and naming your sites, departments and credential types. We do that with you rather than sending a CSV template and wishing you luck.

Questions

What is Cadre?

Cadre is HR and certification tracking software for trades, transport and manufacturing employers, made by Aevon in Canada. Every certification sits on the employee record, next to that person's onboarding, performance reviews and signed policies.

What does Cadre track for each certification?

An issue date, a renewal period and an expiry date, per person and per ticket, such as forklift, first aid, fall protection or a driver abstract. The training record and the certification are the same record, so completing the course closes the renewal.

How does Cadre warn about expiring certificates?

It notifies the employee and then their supervisor by email and Microsoft Teams before the expiry date, so there is still time to book the course.

What else is included besides certification tracking?

Onboarding, performance reviews, policy sign-off and the org chart are part of the same system, not a separate HR add-on.

How is Cadre priced?

One flat monthly fee per site, with unlimited employees at that site and every module included. It is month to month. A quote needs only headcount, number of sites and which tickets you track, and is sent by email without a discovery call.

Can we move from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Cadre imports from whatever you keep now, the spreadsheet included, and setup is done with you.

Can I see Cadre before talking to anyone?

Yes. The live demo at cadre-demo.web.app is the real product with a sample company loaded. No signup is needed.

Can Cadre show an auditor who is current?

Yes. You can export who is current as a CSV, filtered by site, by ticket or by status.

No pitch deck and no discovery call. I will come back with a flat monthly figure and answer whatever you asked. If you would rather just book fifteen minutes, pick a time here.
