Kickstart is the onboarding experience for Compliance Safety Manager customers. You’ll be paired with an OSHA and or DOT  expert—your coach. You’ll be taught how to implement all of the modules in CSM to create the “Perfect Compliance Road Map” that will bring continuous, incremental improvements to your compliance efforts.

No. Kickstart focuses on the strategic and planning aspects of OSHA and DOT compliance automation. It teaches you a repeatable process that has been shown to reduce liability and streamline systems and processes regarding  OSHA and DOT  efforts of small businesses. You’ll learn how to assess your business, plan a targeted strategy, execute and launch that strategy, and then optimize it based on actual results.

We know that small businesses have limited time, energy and resources. Often times they do not know what next step they should take when it comes to OSHA and DOT compliance, and they don’t want to waste their resources on strategies that may not work. Kickstart focuses on teaching you the methods needed to be a more strategic and organized business.

All Kickstart coaches are OSHA and DOT experts. They have worked with small businesses in almost every industry. They understand the daily challenges you face working in a small business and also the challenges of getting started with new software.

Think of your coach as your small business personal trainer—they are here to help you learn, as well as push you to achieve more than you could have on your own.

The time spent one-on-one with your coach varies based on which Kickstart package you choose.

With Kickstart Lite, your coach spends on average four to five hours with you.

With Kickstart, your coach spends on average seven to eight hours with you.

Kickstart Pro is a fully customizable, project-based implementation and will vary based on the scope and details of your project.

All Kickstarts must be completed within 60 days of purchase, but the majority of customers complete it much sooner.
