One system that can be used to answer a wide variety of our client's needs. Very attentive support function who have assisted in adapting the system to accommodate new requirements.

Pros

The basic system is easily adaptable to multiple uses. Can be used as a compliance tool as well as monitoring standards.

Cons

Reports don't download conveniently into Excel. Reports with wider detail of information about audit results which could be filtered and manipulated in Excel would be more helpful than the limited range of reports available.

Uncomplicated, convenient and delivers results!

Cost savings and time savings. Centrally as mobilisation costs are low, unit based savings from convenient auditing and fast reporting.

Pros

The convenience of a web based app that works on multiple devices across various operating systems. Ease of use for the end user, which means on-site training isn't required. Ability to personalize the system to cater for very specific contractual needs. Fast response rate provided by customer support team.

Cons

Overall the reporting suite is very good, but due to the complexity of our contracts, we required extensive reporting capabilities. This is,t necessarily a negative as we have been able to work together with the team to build suitable reports.

Ecat Review

Overall my experience of Ecat is good. Useful app for identifying upcoming maintenance for buildings.

Pros

Ease of use and not having to be online to complete a survey, only have to be online to submit.

Cons

I carried out maintenance surveys on building with Ecat and sometimes the same observation might appear in a number of locations in a building but you can only enter one observation under a given heading and one photo.

Fast, effective and to the point. The ECAT team understood what we needed and delivered in days

Information access, efficiency, instant information distribution, Altitude reporting, Trending analytics, root cause identification, trace-ability,

Pros

It is very intuitive and simple to use. No real training required for the users. Easy and accurate configuration capabilities. Handles our most complex audits down to our simplest check lists. The support turnaround time is spectacular.

Cons

Could do with one or two more modules although I am told they are in the pipeline. Not as strong on templates

Very personable product with a user friendly functionality

No more completing reports on paper and the archiving of data online was very benefical

Pros

Doing the job on the go and not having to complete paperwork and submission. Data archived and readily available and excellent customer service

Cons

Really good software and very bespoke and suited to our business needs, we have not had any issues to report other than some enhancements that were work in progress

Client bespoke set up

The ease of use on the mobile app, speed of updates and reports

ECAT provides excellent flexibility in audit development and rapid deployment of a user-friendly system

Pros

ECAT offer a user friendly app that works across mobile platforms. The system is very easy to configure and deploy.

We found that the scheduling did not fully satisfy the most complex examples we come across, however ECAT worked very closely with us to quickly address these needs.

A simple to use productive product that provides full auditing trails without the need for paperwork.

Pros

The ease of access for users is brilliant and can be used anywhere within our business.

ECAT support is fantastic and the team is always on hand to help develop more for our business needs.

It's a paperless system with full auditing trail which is important and is leading to some productivity benefits.

Cons

Would like to see more Templates add but to be fair the ECAT team are supporting our business in developing such

The software and the team are both excellent.

Pros

Audits are easy to perform and easily customized. The dashboard provides an easy over view of audits performed.

Cons

Not much, perhaps how the reports appear when downloaded to Excel (takes extra steps to data mine due to merged rows/columns.)

Testimonial

Beaumont Hospital have been using Ecat since 2013 Since commencment using the platform created by Ecat for the Hygiene Services within Beaumont the developers have created a bespoke auditing system to suit the requirements of the end users.

Pros

The layout and format is very user friendly and provides not only written documented evidence but also picture evidence that identifies appropriate and inappropriate performance that is used for training purposes within the hospital for key stakeholders ie Nursing , Health Care Assistants and cleaning staff.

Cons

There is nothing to dislike about the software.

Fantastic support and a great product!

Compliance control of established processes

Pros

Ease of use for first time users but with a very sophisticated and capable back end that allows for excellent analytical results

I conduct daily quality wall & GMP audits daily/weekly.

It gets rid of paperwork and is more efficient.

Pros

It is quick & easy to use. There is alot to choose from in the drop down menus. It is very efficient, it gets rid of the use of paperwork.

Cons

Because we always have new products it needs regular updating. Not really and ecat issue more from our side.

All software should work as well as this!

All my heath & safety, hygiene, fire checks and much more in the one place. No more chasing paper and people around the office. Ease of access to my compliance reports and the ability to forward them as needed.

Pros

The Bulk Upload tool is a dream. I could get entire site live in a matter of minutes once I had collected the site data. The mobile app needs no training so the roll out was effortless. The support team really know their stuff and we had a customer success manager assigned to us that really got to know how we work.

Cons

ECAT is not big on Templates but, you can set up any audit you want once you have it yourself. Doesn't have an inbuilt help desk.
