COMPARISON

Whoever sets the exam shouldn’t keep the exam papers

Some platforms are sold by the same company that inspects your equipment. It’s a legitimate model, and it has consequences worth thinking about before you sign.

  1. 1Can I keep my current inspector?
  2. 2Who checks the checker?
  3. 3What happens if I change inspector?
  4. 4Am I paying for a service I already have?

Four questions for any provider

Including us. Take them to any demo and compare the answers.

1Can I keep my current inspector?

WHAT ANSWER TO LOOK FOR

That it’s the normal route, not the exception: recording a third party’s certificate should take no more effort than recording their own.

OURS

Yes. You record the certificate from whoever inspects you, whoever that is.

2Who checks the checker?

WHAT ANSWER TO LOOK FOR

That whoever carries out the inspection isn’t the sole keeper of that inspection’s record.

OURS

We don’t inspect or issue certificates. We only store what a third party signs.

3What happens if I change inspector?

WHAT ANSWER TO LOOK FOR

That your history doesn’t depend on that decision and you can export all of it.

OURS

Changing inspector changes nothing in your history.

4Am I paying for a service I already have?

WHAT ANSWER TO LOOK FOR

That the software and the service are priced separately and can be bought separately.

OURS

You pay for software. You hire the inspection service from whoever you like.

What the combined model offers

  • One provider for everything, and one invoice.
  • People who know the field, because they work in it.
  • Less coordination on your side.

It isn’t a bad model. It’s a model with a consequence, and the consequence is yours, not theirs.

Where Slynga stands

We only do software

We don’t inspect or issue certificates. The statutory periodic inspection is carried out by the external inspector or inspection body you choose.

Any inspector fits

You record the certificate from whoever inspects you. Changing inspector changes nothing in your history.

For inspectors and inspection bodies →

The record is yours

Export it whenever you like, in full: items, inspections, movements and original documents.

We say what we don’t do

The pre-use check does run in our app, and it’s the operator’s responsibility. We’d rather make that clear than sell more.

Work with the inspector you already trust

Start on the free plan and record their certificates from day one.
