Kwant
Kwant is a construction workforce platform that combines smart badges, wearables, and site sensors with cloud software for access control, onboarding, compliance, safety alerts, and productivity analytics on large projects.
Kwant targets general contractors, owners, and subcontractors who need live visibility into who is on site, whether credentials are current, and where work is happening. The product bundles hardware such as turnstiles and badges with web and mobile software for onboarding, zone-level presence, mass alerts, and reporting (Kwant product pages, 2026).
The company states it was founded in 2019 to close the gap between field data and operations decisions for industrial and construction workforces (Kwant About page, 2026). Integrations with common construction systems are part of the positioning; customers cite Procore-related workflows in public testimonials.
Analytics modules cover time and attendance, heatmaps, fatigue-related features, and AI-assisted reporting in the marketing materials. Buyers often evaluate Kwant against siloed access vendors plus separate timekeeping tools, so the pitch is one stack for safety and workforce governance.
Industries called out on the site include mission-critical facilities, multifamily, airports, oil and gas turnarounds, and manufacturing plants that share similar badge and compliance needs with vertical construction.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Single vendor for badges, gates, and workforce data instead of many point tools.
- Public case studies reference very large headcounts and multi-site programs.
- Enterprise 2.0 release messaging emphasizes centralized control across a portfolio of jobs.
Cons
- Pricing is not listed; enterprise procurement and pilot scope drive total cost.
- Heavy hardware footprint may be more than small jobsites need.
- Privacy and labor-law review are important when deploying biometrics or location tracking.

Frequently asked questions
What does Kwant cost per month?
Kwant does not publish standard per-seat or per-site fees on the main marketing site. You request a demo and receive custom pricing based on project count, badge volume, and feature tier. Ask for a written scope that separates hardware lease or purchase from software subscriptions.
Does Kwant integrate with Procore?
The vendor lists integrations in its resources area and customer quotes mention Procore alongside attendance workflows. Verify the exact modules and sync direction for your Procore edition during a pilot, because integration catalogs change over time.
Can Kwant connect to BIM or 5D workflows?
Some customer testimonials describe tying workforce and time data to BIM-style productivity views. That is not guaranteed in every contract; confirm what your subscription includes and whether your VDC team must supply models or cost codes for those dashboards.
What hardware does Kwant require?
Marketing materials reference turnstiles, smart badges, facial recognition options, wearables, and location sensors depending on the package. Not every site uses every device; scoping usually starts with access control and expands into analytics.
Is Kwant only for building construction?
No. The site lists airports, oil and gas, manufacturing, and mission-critical work alongside traditional building jobs. The same badge and compliance model applies to large maintenance and turnaround projects.
Does Kwant work offline on site?
Field reliability depends on mobile apps, badge readers, and local networking you deploy. Ask the vendor for architecture notes on offline capture, sync latency, and failover for gate hardware before you rely on it for life-safety mustering.
