LAYER 01
Configuration layer
Tenants, plants, permit types, forms, workflows, designations, approval rules, and reusable safety blocks are configured without changing the application.
Built for industrial reality
Modern SaaS platform, grounded in plant operations.
PermitGuard is designed around the real constraints of industrial environments: multi-step authorizations, role-based accountability, geofenced plant access, shift changes, contractor management, and safety-critical sequencing. It's not a generic workflow tool retrofitted for safety - it's built for this work from the ground up.
Every module - from the visual workflow designer to the LOTO execution screens - is designed with the people who will actually use it: operators running isolation in the field, supervisors tracking approvals across a shift, and safety managers reviewing compliance after the fact.
One platform across all your plants and contractors
Multi-tenant architecture keeps each business unit or client site isolated while a single platform team manages deployment, features, and access. Assign users to plants, configure site geofences, and control which features each tenant can use.
Operations dashboards that show what's actually happening
Track open permits, pending approvals, breached SLAs, and task counts - filtered by plant and date range. See who is blocking progress, which step is overdue, and which permits need attention right now before an incident occurs.
Shift handovers, extensions, and contractor sign-ons handled natively
Change permit holders across shifts using configured handover subflows. Extend permit validity with full extension-chain traceability. Add contractors as participants with sign-on and sign-off timestamps tied to the permit record.
Reusable subflows keep your processes consistent
Build standard safety blocks once - electrical isolation sequences, gas test checks, supervisor review steps - and reuse them across every permit type. Updates to a subflow propagate without re-building each workflow individually.
Governance model
Designed for multi-plant control.
Tenant and plant isolation keeps business units, contractor teams, and client sites separated.
Role and designation controls support practical industrial responsibility models instead of generic user groups.
Geofenced plant access and mobile-ready screens help teams work from the field without losing governance.
PDF reports and chronological audit logs preserve the workflow version, user, timestamp, and decision history.
LAYER 02
Execution layer
Field teams complete tasks, LOTO actions, observations, sign-ons, evidence uploads, and approvals from responsive screens built for repeated daily use.
LAYER 03
Governance layer
Dashboards, audit trails, SLA status, PDF exports, and role controls give safety leadership visibility across open and closed controlled work.
