FOR APPRENTICES • See your approved hours and wage-step progress toward your program's required hours • Log time against your program's work processes • One-tap jobsite check-in and check-out — location is recorded only when you tap, never in the background • Scan a site QR code to tie your hours to a registered jobsite • Capture evidence photos, fingerprinted on the device • Check in to class with rotating codes so related instruction counts • Keep a training journal your supervisor can read and reply to • Works offline — entries queue and sync when you're back on signal • English and Spanish, side by side FOR SUPERVISORS • See your whole crew's progress at a glance • Review submitted time cards and countersign approvals right on the device • Every approval records who signed, and when FOR SPONSORS Every hour approved in the app lands in ApprenticeRecon's verification ladder — attested, corroborated, or field-verified — so completion decisions, wage-step raises, and compliance reports stand on evidence instead of paperwork.

Read full description

SBN (Stackbox) is the transporter app for partners working on the Stackbox Network. The work you already do with your shippers — tenders, rate bids, vehicle assignment, shipment paperwork and invoices — sits in one place instead of scattered calls, mail threads and spreadsheets. WHAT YOU CAN DO Tenders and indents See the tenders your shippers publish, with route, material, quantity and the window you have to respond in. Accept the ones that suit your fleet or decline with a reason, straight from your phone. Procurement and rate bids Take part in procurement events, submit your rate and follow where your bid stands. Loads and vehicle assignment Turn confirmed business into loads, assign the vehicle and driver, and update the details when something changes on the road. Track your shipments Follow a load's progress on the map, so you can answer "where is my vehicle" without making a call. Proof of delivery and documents Attach delivery proof and supporting documents against the load, so the paperwork reaches your shipper as soon as the trip ends. Invoices and contracts Review the invoices raised against your trips and check the contract terms you are working under. Appointments Keep track of the slots booked at plants and warehouses, so your vehicles arrive when they are expected. WHO IT IS FOR SBN (Stackbox) is for transport partners registered on the Stackbox Network. You need an account with a shipper running Stackbox to sign in. Sign in with your phone number and a one-time password, or with your username and password.
