Never let a licence or cert lapse on you again
Electrical licence, white card, working-at-heights, first aid: the system pings you at 90, 60 and 30 days before expiry, so a renewal never sneaks up mid-job.
By Daniel Hall · Automation builder at Made 4 Tradies
Every team member's licences and tickets live in one tracker with a colour-coded countdown. As each cert nears its expiry the system fires staged alerts at 90, 60 and 30 days, then keeps nudging at 14 and 7, so the renewal gets booked before the date arrives. No spreadsheet to babysit, no relying on memory. The point the trades on Reddit keep making: renewals get missed, and the insurance and audit risk when they do is real. A worker can be stood down, a job stopped, or cover put in question after an incident, all because a date quietly slipped past.

What a lapse costs
An expired licence can mean a worker stood down, a job stopped, or cover voided if there's an incident. As the description says, the system pings you at 90 / 60 / 30 days so a renewal never sneaks up on you.
Why this matters
Renewals get missed and the insurance / audit risk is real. A tradie on r/SafetyProfessionals went looking for exactly this: automatic CPR, forklift and crane renewal reminders.
How it works
Trigger → actions → outcome
- 1
Setup
Each worker's licences and tickets (electrical licence, white card, working at heights, first aid + CPR) get logged once with their expiry dates.
- 2
Trigger
A cert crosses the 90-day-to-expiry mark and the tracker flags it on your dashboard.
- 3
Action 1
An alert is sent automatically at 90, 60 and 30 days, then again at 14 and 7 days if it is still not renewed.
- 4
Action 2
You book the renewal and update the date; the row flips back to green and the reminders stop.
- 5
Outcome
Every ticket stays current, so nobody gets stood down and there is no audit or insurance gap from a missed renewal.
