What Rapid Global does

Rapid Global (Rapid Global Pty Ltd) is an Adelaide-based software company founded in 2001 that provides an all-in-one workplace safety and contractor compliance platform. Its product suite — branded as Rapid One — combines contractor management, online induction training, visitor management, gate access control, AI-powered site monitoring, incident reporting, audit management, and digital work permits into a single cloud-based platform. The company serves safety-critical industries including construction, mining, manufacturing, transport and logistics, aged care, healthcare, education, and facilities management, with named enterprise customers including Bunnings, Ford, Toll Group, and Boral Group.

The platform is built on Amazon Web Services (Asia Pacific Sydney region for Australian customers, Europe Ireland for European customers) and exposes a RESTful API with OAuth 2.0 authentication. Rapid differentiates through proprietary in-house computer vision models developed over a decade, powering AI Checkpoints (face authentication and licence plate recognition), RapidCheck (automated document review), Rapid Monitor (camera-based PPE and safety monitoring), Rapid Aware (automated hazard detection), and Scope (an AI-powered autonomous robot dog for site patrols). The platform supports 35+ third-party integrations spanning identity (Microsoft Active Directory), ERP (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, TechnologyOne, MYOB), CRM (Salesforce), HR/payroll (Employment Hero, Chris21), access control (Gallagher, Inner Range, ICT Protege, Siemens SiPass), and facilities management (IBM Maximo, Archibus, FM Clarity, MEX).

Rapid operates a subscription-based SaaS revenue model with per-user licensing tied to "Active Users" (anyone who logged in, completed a course, uploaded a document, or submitted a form in the prior 12 months), supplemented by hardware sales (terminals, access tablets) and professional services. Pricing is quote-based enterprise with annual, monthly, and multi-year billing options. GTM is primarily direct enterprise field sales targeting large organisations in Australia and the UK, supported by an events program and an active content/thought-leadership motion (including original workplace safety research reports). The company holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification and is GDPR and CCPA compliant.
