Slings, shackles and the firms that examine them

A crane is one line on a register. The gear that hangs off it is hundreds — slings, shackles, chains, eyebolts — and every one carries its own statutory examination cycle. Handling those one at a time was never going to work.

Loose gear, in bulk

• Bring a register in from a spreadsheet. Import takes your existing list, shows you what it understood, and lets you fix anything ambiguous before it writes a single row.
• Examine a batch in one pass. Work through a set of accessories in a single flow instead of opening each item, filing, and going back.
• Statutory cadences per item, with the compliance state rolling up so you can see an entire store at a glance.

A portal for inspection firms

Inspection companies now have their own place in the product rather than being handled as individual guest accounts. A firm connects to a client with a code, sees the equipment it has been granted, and files examinations that go to that client for approval before they publish. Firms working for several clients see them all in one portal, and every grant of access is recorded and revocable.
