CertFID — Tap. Certify. Done. CertFID is the field app for equipment inspection and certification, built for cranes, rigging, and lifting gear. Tap the NFC tag on any asset and its full record opens instantly — identity, certificates, inspection history, and next due date. - Tap. Certify. Done. — hold your phone to the tag on a sling, shackle, or crane and the asset opens. No searching, no typing. - Never lose your certs — all your critical safety compliance data, in CertFID, just a tap away. View the certificate, share as PDF, see pass/next-due at a glance. - Safe today isn't safe tomorrow — that's why pre-use checks run before every use. CertFID makes them quick, guided, and on record, with pass/fail per item. - Just ask. Fiddle answers — the AI assistant that has the answers to your equipment questions, drawn from your own certificates and checklists. - Less talking, more action — Fiddle Pro pulls cert stacks and drafts the email; nothing sends until you say so. (Business & up) - Every asset, on call. Fiddle Live — speak to your asset; Fiddle Live answers out loud, in real time. (Business & up) - Tag your whole yard in an afternoon — register the asset and write its tag in one motion, one at a time or a whole batch. - No signal, no problem — inspect, check, and tag with zero bars; it syncs automatically when your connection restores. (Professional & up) - Real, or a very good fake? — integrity used to be a promise. Maple makes it verifiable proof — every event hash-chained into a tamper-evident ledger.
