End-to-end traceability

follow every permit from request through approval, LOTO, execution, and closure

No-code configuration

update workflows and forms without waiting for a software release

Audit-ready records

keep logs, evidence, comments, reports, and timestamps together

Workflow engine

Visual workflow designer - no developer needed

Build permit workflows from scratch using drag-and-connect nodes. Add form steps, approval gates, LOTO sequences, conditions, checklists, action lists, and periodic logs.

Lockout / Tagout

LOTO execution with step-level accountability

Manage isolation points through pending → locked → verified → removed states. Assign lock, verify, and release actions to named users or designations. Capture notes and photo evidence at each step. Every action is timestamped and tied to the person responsible.

Approvals & routing

Structured approvals across any hierarchy

Configure parallel or sequential approval chains inside any workflow step. Approvals route dynamically by role, designation, or responsibility. Every decision - approved, rejected, comment, timestamp - is captured for compliance.

Field execution

Mobile permit details for field teams

Operators and supervisors can review permit details, audit history, SLA timers, approvals, LOTO steps, participant sign-on, and periodic observations - all from a browser on any device.

Form designer

Configurable permit forms without code changes

Use the visual form designer to build and publish reusable permit templates. Support site-specific formats, versioned submissions, and file evidence uploads. Process owners can update forms as requirements change without touching the application.

Compliance & audit

Audit trail and PDF reports built in

Every approval, form submission, LOTO action, participant sign-on, and workflow handoff is logged with timestamp and user. Generate branded PDF permit reports for audits, handover packs, and regulatory compliance - straight from the platform.

Operational coverage

Built around the permit lifecycle, not just a form.

PermitGuard connects request, review, isolation, execution, handover, extension, and closure into a single controlled record. Safety teams reduce paper follow-ups while operations still gets flexibility for real plant work.

Permit template control

Publish site-specific permit forms with version history, required evidence, conditional fields, and approval rules that match each work type.

Responsibility-based task routing

Send work to the right holder, supervisor, approver, isolation owner, or safety reviewer using roles, designations, and configured responsibilities.

Evidence and attachment handling

Capture photos, files, observations, signatures, and comments at the point of work so audit packs are complete without chasing field teams later.

Permit validity and SLA tracking

Track start and end times, overdue approvals, extension chains, reassignment, and shift handover activity with clear operational status.
