Every job, report and signature is logged with timestamp, IP and user. When a regulator, insurer or client asks for evidence, you produce it in seconds.
Every discipline, one system
Assets, jobs, certificates, calendar, quotes, invoices and team utilisation in one platform, no more flipping between Excel, Outlook and a paper diary.
Built for the field
An installable mobile app with full offline mode, photo capture, QR scanning and signatures on glass. Engineers finish reports on site, with no paperwork.
Customers
Trusted by UK inspection firms.
We were running two sets of compliance records, one for the lifting side and one for height safety. CertFlow put both in one place. Six months in, certificates go out the moment a job is done, nothing slips past its due date, and an audit is a quick export rather than a day lost in folders.
CertFlow has taken the admin headache out of servicing. We can see exactly what is due, who is due to do it and where every asset sits, and certificates go out the same day. After nearly fifty years in fire safety, it is the first system that actually fits how we work.
CertFlow has put every lifting asset and every examination date in one place. Our engineers complete reports on site, defects are flagged straight to the client, and nothing slips past its due date. It is the first system that actually fits how a lifting inspection business works.
We used to live in fear of an examination date slipping through a spreadsheet. Now every asset and every date is in one place, reports go out the day we finish, and our clients can see exactly where they stand. It just fits how we work.
Running examinations and maintenance from two different systems was holding us back. CertFlow put both in one place, against the same asset, with the same reminders. Our scheduling is calmer and our reporting is instant.
Because we build, supply and install, our records used to start again at every stage. CertFlow gives each item one record that follows it the whole way, so installation, handover and examination are all in one place. Our handovers are faster and far more professional.
How we treat our customers
Support that answers. Requests that ship.
The thing firms tell us most about their old supplier is that support was slow and change requests went nowhere. So we state our standards publicly, and hold ourselves to them.
Answered within one UK working day
Our stated aim for every support request, on every subscription. Same-day when something is blocking an engineer on site.
The people who build it answer
Phone, email and in-app chat go to the UK team that builds and runs CertFlow. No offshore call centre, no chatbot wall.
Change requests actually land
Ask for a template, a workflow change or a feature and you are talking to the people who can ship it. We have rebuilt a customer’s whole job pipeline because they asked.
Switching is our job, not yours
Leave your old system. Keep all your data.
We migrate everything, no asset limit, no volume cap, in five working days from receiving your export. You do not pay until you have validated the migration, and because we do the data work, your first live report can be out in as little as a day after go-live.
FAQ
Everything firms ask before they switch.
What is CertFlow?
CertFlow is an all-in-one platform for running a UK inspection business: jobs, assets, scheduling, certificates, quotes, invoices and the client portal in one system. It is built for lifting inspection firms working under LOLER and PUWER, with thirteen further disciplines included at no extra cost.
Which compliance disciplines does CertFlow cover?
CertFlow ships with 14 disciplines out of the box, including Lifting (LOLER 1998), Work Equipment (PUWER 1998), Electrical (BS 7671), Pressure systems (PSSR 2000), Fire Safety (RRO 2005), Gas, HVAC/F-Gas, Water & Legionella (ACoP L8), Waste, COSHH, RAMS, General Health & Safety, Competency/Training and HR. Each ships with pre-built templates, asset types and defect catalogues.
How much does CertFlow cost?
CertFlow is quoted for your firm rather than sold off a price list. Every subscription includes all fourteen disciplines, unlimited assets, sites, companies and certificates, the mobile app and free unlimited client portal logins. A 15-minute call scopes your engineers and disciplines, and you get a fixed quote back.
How long does it take to get started?
We run your migration for you: your companies, sites, assets, history, schedules and templates are loaded and validated by our team, in five working days from receiving your export. Because CertFlow does the data work, most firms issue their first live report in as little as a day after go-live.
Does CertFlow work offline on site?
Yes. CertFlow is a Progressive Web App, installable on iOS and Android, that works fully offline. Engineers complete inspections on site and the system syncs automatically when a connection returns.
Where is my data hosted?
All data is hosted in the UK on encrypted infrastructure with daily backups and full audit logging, with 100% uptime over the 12 months to 28/08/2026, measured by continuous database availability monitoring. CertFlow is GDPR compliant and your data is exportable in full at any time.
