## Reviews

### "Simple, fast, effective. No more paperwork." — 5.0/5

> **Benjamin** | *23 January 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use, instant collaboration with fleet managers and the ability to use wirh a phone or tablet.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing i disliked enough to write here. I had some issues syncing my account to new devices but I think thst was my organisations issue.
> 
> Ive been using it for 4 years to do vehicle prestarts and it has streamlined the process significantly. No more paperwork getting lost and because the report goes directly to my fleet manager. Issues and due services are immediately dealt with.

### "Long time user with 80+ machines in the Plant Assessor library" — 5.0/5

> **Elliott** | *20 February 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Brings consistency to the plant risk assessment process. Cites applicable legislation and standards to the controls so you can cross reference the source of the requirements. The prestart warnings it gave to operators if they accidentally put in an incorrect hour meter that would jump the hours up definitely saved a lot of time in admin.
> 
> **Cons**: Steep pricing. The invoicing template made it difficult to know which machine specifically we were being invoiced for.
> 
> In developing plant risk assessments, it's unparalleled - no other software that I'm aware of matches it. We found that using it to track when services were due didn't work for us because we were unable to set up email alerts to alert admins when machines were coming up due for a service.

### "Terrible platform and customer service" — 1.0/5

> **Tom** | *1 July 2025* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Nil - Other existing platforms are much better, and free. I can't understand why a site would set up this system that makes you pay per machine on site.
> 
> **Cons**: Terrible platform. Difficult to know how much you need to pay to have machines on site, poor customer service, frustrating user experience.

-----

### "No more lost log books" — 5.0/5

> **paul** | *18 December 2024* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: No more lost log books wet logbooks and no excuses about not having a pen
> 
> **Cons**: it some times has issues loading when it is offline and poor internet access
> 
> Great dash board that allows in real time to see what and when plant has been pre started the ability to take photos to capture any damage from previous operator

-----

### "Makes processes easier" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *9 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is easy to use, reporting is very clear, reduces paperwork, and the support team are super helpful
> 
> **Cons**: It can take some time to set up initially, but it's worth it once established and becomes easier to manage ongoing compliance
> 
> It's made our compliance processes more streamlined. Easy to use and having everything digital makes paperwork much easier. Reporting features are very useful.
