Scan, test, certify, email โ before you leave the building. WHY ELECTRICIANS SWITCH โข Unlimited appliances and unlimited certificates โ no per-item or per-cert charges โข Works offline; everything syncs the moment you are back on signal โข Start on iPhone, continue on iPad, finish on Mac โ one account, one dataset โข No PC, no third-party desktop software, no manual transfers SMART BARCODE SCANNING Scan an appliance ID and its details fill themselves in.

APPLIANCE PASSPORT Every appliance carries its own history. Tap any item in Scannable Appliances, or the History button on the test form, to see every test ever recorded against that Appliance ID: dates, certificates, pass/fail results, readings and photos. Ideal for client queries and repeat contracts. AI APPLIANCE SCANNING Point the camera at an appliance and let the AI carry out the visual inspection. It records every defect found, its severity and the reasoning, and saves the findings alongside the test โ ready-made evidence for failed items, remedial quotes and client disputes. RETEST DATES THAT CHASE THEMSELVES Set retest intervals per appliance or per site. Upcoming retests appear on your home screen, so recurring work comes back to you instead of quietly expiring.
