Asset tracking software for rope access teams

Rope access teams have stringent inspection requirements. Every harness, sling, carabiner, and rope must be inspected and traceable.

The challenge

• Dozens of pieces of gear per technician
• LOLER inspections every 6 or 12 months
• Immediate suspension if records aren’t complete

Paper checklists and spreadsheets can’t keep up.

How asset tracking software solves it

A digital equipment and asset tracking system replaces paper logs with real-time visibility:

• Each rope, harness or other item has a digital identity 
• Inspection results logged in under 30 seconds
• Certificates stored in one place
• Overdue gear flagged automatically

Real-world workflow

1. Technician taps the NFC tag on their harness
2. The inspection checklist opens on the phone
3. They complete checks in seconds
4. Safety status and inspection record are saved with a time-stamped audit trail

At audit time, the safety manager exports reports instantly - no searching computer folders or cross-checking spreadsheets.
