JointAssist by ControlPoint vs Vyn SmartVideoNotes®

ControlPoint is a business specialising in asset integrity and has developed a portfolio of technology-led products to facilitate the capture, transfer and storage of different types of data from site. The JointAssist app allows for the transfer of fusion joint data and works in conjunction with the BlueBox itself; a device that is retro-fitted to a fusion control box. Using Bluetooth connectivity, the electrofusion unit will be paired with an iOS device through the use of the JointAssist app. Operators are guided through the user-friendly process on both the control box display screen and the app. To provide an accurate picture of the joint installation quality that is being produced, the BlueBox system is closely integrated with the control box, meaning that each weld cycle has to be instigated by the capture of at least one photo. Through the BlueBox app and the GPRS connection on the iOS device, all data is instantly sent to the JointManager website; a secure and easily accessible online storage facility. Using this integrated, ‘real time’ system allows industry contractors to make well-informed judgements on their joint installations prior to the point that they are buried.

Organisations navigating distributed assets are plagued by a lack of visibility. Back-office teams rely on static, tick-box forms that don’t capture the real-world context of work. The clash of unstructured human data & structured IT systems means we have a constant gap between what we are reporting & what’s happening in the field. This leads to frustrated customers, delayed quotes, high rates of non-compliance, wasted truck rolls, and costly blind spots that risk safety and compliance. Trusted by 90% of top UK utilities, as well as telecoms and retail clients, Vyn closes the gap between the field and the control room. It is a mobile-first Agentic Video Intelligence Work Platform that enables customers, contractors, or engineers to capture short, guided video updates. Vyn AI™ automatically reviews and audits every submission - providing a first level of triage to verify quality and safety in real-time. Full contextual visibility also enables junior colleagues to be upskilled, with a searchable knowledge base and insights from remote experts. Vyn CX (Customer Experience): Empowers customers to ‘show and tell’ via a browser (no app needed). Users submit guided video workflows for tasks like smart meter pre-installation surveys or troubleshooting leaks. The AI categorises the job, accelerating quotes and resolution. Vyn FX (Field Experience): Digitises assurance for the asset lifecycle. Field teams use guided workflows for construction Inspection Test Plans (ITP), safety compliance checks, and asset handovers. The Agentic AI audits work against regulations, enabling remote oversight and non-compliance alerts.
