Assets
An equipment register with calibration intervals and certificates, maintenance records, inspection checklists and programmes, and e-signatures on inspection records for the person who performed and the person who reviewed.
The problem
Calibration due dates live in a spreadsheet that is only checked when something fails. Inspection records are paper forms filed by month, and finding the one the auditor asks for means a trip to the cabinet.
How the software handles it
Every piece of equipment sits in a register with its calibration interval and certificates attached.
Maintenance is recorded against the same equipment record.
Inspection checklists are built once and scheduled as programmes.
Inspection records carry e-signatures for performed and reviewed.
QR labels on equipment open its record on the shop floor, with PIN access for people without a desk login.
The register is loaded in bulk from Excel.
What the auditor sees
- The equipment register with calibration status and the next due date.
- Calibration certificates attached to each instrument.
- Completed inspection records with both signatures and timestamps.
- Maintenance history for each asset.

How we configure it with you
Map your process
Your processes are mapped in Processes as they run, with named owners and the forms and approvals your team already uses, instead of starting from a generic template.
Configure the modules
Fields, checklists, terminology and routing are configured to match your operation. The software speaks your language, not software jargon.
Onboard your standards
Catalogue standards are switched on. Customer-specific or internal standards are imported from a workbook as custom standards. Every clause links to the modules and evidence that satisfy it.
Deploy to the floor
Roll out with training campaigns, competency records and evidence capture, with a certified consultant reviewing the configuration through to your audit.
