Lighthouse, a great platform, that just needs some very minor tweeks
I has been a good experience, everyday though you find a way to improve it and it's usually a simple change. The more you and your staff use it, the better feed back you'll get to make the right changes, and in turn improve your efficiency.
PROSIt was easy to configure, the training proovided was great, and we have it integrated into out payroll and purchase order system.
CONSFor building reports or dashboards or views, you cannot use table data.
Reason for choosing Lighthouse HSE
Better capabilities, and more potential functionality

Volker Stevin Canada Lighthouse Review
Overall we've been happy with the experience with Lighthouse, the Team has been great to deal with and like I have mentioned before, their drive to try and meet our needs has been why we've stayed. Hoping to stay with Lighthouse for the additional of more form creation and integration but will have to see what changes are to be made and the timeline if any.
PROSFront end of Lighthouse is easy for employees to use. Being able to edit the forms on the go without needing to submit any sort of request, keeps the flow going in the field. The constant and prompt support from the Lighthouse Team was a huge part of why we kept the application going. They were able to work side by side with us to ensure the product met our needs and give options where features were limited.
CONSLimited on features for potential growth. We have an on-going feature request list and hopefully in the near future will be added. Lighthouse currently provides what we need for the mean time but if no change or upgrades to the current system down the road, we may look into other options. The lack of integration from the app to the web browser version.
Reason for choosing Lighthouse HSE
Being able to control the forms from creation to frontline execution. Met the Team and the passion and drive spoke for themselves. A local company that was willing to put the clients needs first and was able to continue the support throughout the whole process.

Great Product
I dont really have many negative things to say. I really enjoy the program and I can make any adjustments I want, when I want.
PROSThe ease of use. I can customize and add as many forms as I want and they are really easy to create.
CONSNot having the emails after forms are submitted in a PDF format with signatures, is my biggest con and only one really. The price is a little higher than some other companies out there. It would be nice to have an easier way of deleting multiple forms rather than opening each form and deleting it one by one. It would also be nice to have the signatures for the signing of policies and other attachments actually stamped ON the actual document, however, I dont think that it would be possible.

Not Enough Words to Express my Satisfaction!
Our company needed a filed-level technology overhaul and a way to manage the paper-tiger generated by management of safety, health and in our case, customized timesheets. Lighthouse has saved hundreds of hours and thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars since implementation. I highly recommend Lighthouse HSE.
PROSLighthouse HSE has the convenience of many, many out of the box forms, dashboards, reports, etc. and also is completely customizable! Best of both worlds. Our field staff found Lighthouse to be easy-to-use, and because it is customizable I can respond positively to their requests & needs with small but useful changes 90% of the time.
CONSIn order to make a form print-friendly it must be set up in html code. While our Lighthouse support team was crackerjack at this task, it would be nice to do it myself.
Reason for choosing Lighthouse HSE
As a small company, we looked for a versatile software which could meet our immediate needs and which could grow with us. The non-modular, single-platform, very cost-effective product would likely have sold us on its own. Add in the outstanding, stellar customer service and support and the decision was easy.

The Lighthouse Software has been a terrific addition to our company's workplace safety program.
Some much time savings! The simplicity of managing a large amount of daily reporting has become so easy.
PROSLighthouse has completely streamlined our safety documentation. Everything is in the cloud and easily accessible by our construction foremen via their smartphone or tablet. All you need is an internet connection. This has eliminated the weekly chasing of hard copies of all of our documentation. The software is totally customizable and we are now implementing its use for our quality program. The lighthouse Team has been wonderful to get along with from initial setup to ongoing customer service.
CONSI truly have very little negative feedback with this software. This is a digital system and some customers insist on a printed copy. The printing aspect can be a bit cumbersome but once it is set up with help from the service group, it is easy enough to deal with. This is nothing that would cause any real issues for the average user.

The most felxible data management software on the market
Lighthouse lets you build and database safety functions in an easy to use front end and one of the most flexible back ends I've seen to date. We have incorporated everything from in field forms, safety inspections and incident management and the system integrates perfectly with reporting and desktop widgets. More than one of our top customers has said our reporting system (lighthouse) is an impressive asset.
CONSOut of the box products work great but they're limited and those limitations are realized quickly. It takes development time to get this product to the next level, and that means an investment in the HSE program. Plan the growth model of this product, and look at cost recovery in administration time.

A great product for small and midsize companies
My overall experience with Lighthouse HSE is very good. The staff is an absolute joy to work with. Despite a few cons, I would most definitely recommend this program to other HSE Professionals.
PROSWhat I like most about Lighthouse HSE is how easy it is to learn and use. The product is very user friendly and the dashboards are not overly complicated to understand.
CONSI found that due to the simplicity of the program, it is very limited to the type of data you can present on the dashboard. There is not as much flexibility in the programming, for example the mathematical formulas, when you want to manipulate data like you would find in Excel. I also find the report development to be a bit time consuming. It would be nice if Lighthouse HSE could auto-generate the html code allowing the end-user to simply place the controls they want on a report during the designing phase.

This data management system allows me access to critical information i need even in remote locations
I can access and upload information and documentation from my cellular device while out in the field.
CONSWhile conducting investigation reports the the name, address, phone number, date of birth, length of time with company does not auto populate into the form.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review Kyle. Lighthouse has the functionality to populate these fields, it was a design decision made during the implementation process to have users input this data. Talk with your group and let me know if you want to incorporate this change.

Lighthouse, Best In Class !
We have solved the tracking of all QHSE data that other systems will not allow, we can now capture and track action items and the closure of these. We have a more robust QHSE management system with the addition of the Lighthouse to our programs.
PROSI particularly appreciate the ability to create forms and custom processes that fit our business units and allow us to follow a workflow as we see fit. I believe our end users have bought in to the system and continue to support further development and use of the system as a result of this.
CONSIt is difficult to make any kind of "cons" statement with this software. If there was anything to highlight the reporting and exporting of reporting could be improved to offer a more detailed analysis of the captured data.

Value Added Safety Information Management System
The system has exceeded our expectations and it is very easy to teach new users how to maneuver and use the system, so that real time data can be reviewed, reported, and responded to as required.
PROSEasy to use and can be customized to fit your individual company needs with a technical support group that responds well.
CONSLike most information management systems (HSE) the reports aren't always as you would like them to be, so additional processes (e.g., Power BI) need to be used to get what you need.

Volker Stevin and Lighthouse
This was our first effort for implementing digital forms into our field environment. To be candid, we didn't know exactly what we needed, but the software has allowed us to inexpensively try
PROSThis software contains the flexibility to have an inhouse team make rapid corrections and changes. There are plenty of example forms already built out if you wanted to grab something off the shelf, but there were lots of ways to customize those forms or build your own. We've been able to create unique forms for all our subsidiaries.
CONSThere are still some elements that feel a little out of reach for someone who isn't up on the technical skills. Pieces like the print layout are difficult to develop on your own. I know there was a knowledge base, but it was a little scattered and not always intuitive to drill down to the information you were seeking.

Lighthouse HSE - Satisfaction
Difficult learning curve/implementation but if a lot of time and energy is put in to set up forms with regular updates they do work well as long as forms are synced
PROSAbility to notify managers and staff (incidents, training expiration dates, etc.).
CONSSyncing issues - it is very difficult to have field staff constantly updating forms manually. Many are not the best with technology and are not in service during business hours. This creates a lot of issues and is time consuming to mitigate.
