How it works

From install to first check
in about two minutes.

GVTrack is a Chrome extension — it runs inside your browser, checks NVB statuses for your whole team automatically, and everything stays on your device.

See it in action

Watch the full flow — 66 seconds.

Install, bulk import, automatic checks, and notifications — the whole thing, start to finish.

Before you start

A Chrome extension — not another system to log into.

If you've mostly used web apps, here's the short version of what that means.

It lives in your browser

You install it once from the Chrome Web Store. It opens in a tab like any page — there's no separate software and nothing to maintain.

No account, no sign-up

Nothing to register, no passwords, no licence keys. Install it and it's ready — the first time and every time after.

Your data never leaves your device

Staff records are stored in your browser's local storage. No cloud, no servers, no third parties — nothing is transmitted anywhere.

Getting started

Install it in four clicks.

No settings, no configuration — you're tracking within two minutes.

1

Add GVTrack to Chrome

Open the Chrome Web Store listing and click "Add to Chrome". That's the whole install.

Click the puzzle icon in your toolbar

Chrome keeps new extensions behind the puzzle piece, top-right of your browser. Click it and you'll see GVTrack in the list. Tip: click the pin next to it to keep GVTrack visible in your toolbar.

Open the tracker

Click GVTrack, then "Open Tracker". The popup also shows your team's counts at a glance — total, pending, action required, completed.

It opens in a new tab — bookmark it

The tracker is a full page, like any web app you're used to. Bookmark it and it's one click away every morning.

Using GVTrack

Add your team once. That's the last manual step.

Three things happen from here — one of them is yours, two are automatic.

1

Add your team — paste the whole list at once

Open Bulk Import, paste straight from your spreadsheet — name, staff ref, date of birth — pick a group, and import everyone in one go. Tracking IDs can be added later as invitations arrive. Up to 30 people per paste.

GVTrack checks for you — three times a day

Statuses are checked automatically at 10:00, 14:00 and 17:00, every day. It reads the same public NVB status page you'd check yourself — just without you doing it. Need an answer right now? Check All runs everything on demand.

Auto-check: 10:00 · 14:00 · 17:00
Next: 2h 14m

You're told the moment something changes

When a scheduled check finds a change, you get a Chrome notification — and the tracker shows exactly who moved, from what to what. Miss a day? A "since your last visit" summary catches you up when you return.

Good to know

What it does — and deliberately doesn't.

Reads the public status page only

The same page you already check by hand — GVTrack just reads it on a schedule. It never submits, changes, or sends anything.

No access beyond the NVB portal

Its only permissions are the vetting status page and its own update check. It can't see your other tabs, history, or accounts.

Leave anytime, take your records

Export everything to CSV whenever you like. If you uninstall, export first — data lives only on your device, so removal deletes it.

Two minutes to set up. Checked three times a day.

Install GVTrack, paste your team, and the portal checks itself from tomorrow morning.
