Sales of inspection software on the rise as companies invest in automation


This post was last updated on August 5th, 2022 at 10:37 am

CoreRFID has seen a four-fold increase in orders for its market-leading inspection software as businesses invest in automation to combat staff shortages.

CheckedOK helps companies which carry out safety inspections and maintenance to comply with HSE regulations such as LOLER, PUWER and PSSR. The system, which is a market leader in the lifting inspection industry, automates inspection reporting, provides a complete history of assets and helps service providers run their business more efficiently.

CoreRFID, which typically installs six or seven systems a year, has secured eight new orders in the last three months alone and expects to take orders for 25 systems this year. Each order is tailored to meet the needs of the individual company. CoreRFID is now expanding its support and software development teams to help it meet demand and to maintain its dominant market position.

Munzi Ali, Managing Director of CoreRFID says: “With staff shortages, rising prices and the government drive to improve productivity, the demand for specialist software solutions has increased markedly. One trend we are seeing is that unlike in the past when clients would typically be replacing paper-based systems, many of the new orders are from companies who already have some type of legacy software in place but want to replace it with a more effective system.

“Inspection and maintenance companies can see the sense in investing in automation and can reap the benefits in a very short space of time. In a tight labour market, reducing demands on existing staff is a priority, enabling them to grow their business within existing staffing levels.

“Software improves customer service and compliance, and CheckedOK goes one step further. By incorporating functions such as costing and invoicing, it provides a complete management solution – enabling inspection and maintenance firms to streamline their operations and improve efficiency at every level. Clients tell us they are investing in the long-term future of the business.”

CoreRFID’s clients include leading industry names such as Street CraneXpress, The Electricity Supply Board in Ireland, ITS Plant Tech, Anderco Lifting, and equipment hire firms such as VP Hire Station.
