Where HandsHQ wins
- Depth of the RAMS editor: as a specialist tool, HandsHQ's template library and RAMS-specific workflow are deeper.
- Training record management is a first-class feature there.
- If RAMS is genuinely your only problem, a single-purpose tool is simpler to adopt.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Valegrid Flow a replacement for HandsHQ?
- It depends what you use. If you only need RAMS, HandsHQ is a strong specialist choice. If RAMS is one of five headaches alongside CIS payroll, HAVS, timesheets and invoicing, Valegrid Flow covers all of them in one system for one per-active-worker price.
- Can Valegrid Flow reuse my existing RAMS documents?
- Yes. Upload an existing risk assessment or method statement as a PDF or image and AI extracts it into a reusable template with structured hazard/control lines and method steps — so switching doesn't mean starting from a blank page.
- Does HandsHQ do timesheets, payroll or invoicing?
- No — HandsHQ focuses on RAMS and training records. Timesheets, CIS payroll, HAVS from real hours, site diaries and valuations & invoicing are the core of Valegrid Flow.
- What does each cost?
- HandsHQ prices by plan for its RAMS product. Valegrid Flow is from £19 per active worker per month with everything included — RAMS, CIS payroll, HAVS, diaries, valuations and invoicing.
