Papertrail review

I have found paper trail to be really useful for gathering data and it allowing staff and their manager access to see this information where ever they are. And also that certs can be stored so they can also gain access to these at all times. It has helped me with reporting and keeping onto of what I have / haven't done and also gives space to ad comments where needed.

PROS

Quick and easy to use Gives a quick overview at a glance Able to add features that are personalised to what we need it for Ability to manage tasks via the portal Staff very helpful along with the guidance sheets that can be found

CONS

At first I felt it didn't show a true picture as the options were either valid or invalid. After speaking with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] I found out we were able to add other options such as 'awaiting certificate' 'NA at present' 'New training request' which now give a full honest view of training records. Reporting feature had a few technical issues at first - again these have been resolved

Reason for choosing Papertrail

Paper trail was already established and when we were given a demo it looked like the best fit for what we wanted it to do.

Reasons for switching to Papertrail

Excel wasn't practical for running off reports and it was down to the eye and a highlighter to mark any up and coming training where as with this feature I can now track and see straight away what is coming up with no risk of missing anything. I also automatically updates staff and managers if their certs are due to expire .

The H&S Must-have software

Papertrail has been excellent, easy to use and a constant source of information about PPE.

PROS

Easy to use, the staff will help you transition your old record system into it.

CONS

I would like to be able to completely delete old users rather than just 'archive' them.

Reason for choosing Papertrail

Already set up and specialised in the area. Advice and help available from staff.

Reasons for switching to Papertrail

Recommended by a trainer, and it is a vast improvement on the previous system. It's accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, and allows access from mobile devices as well.

Vendor Response

Hi Dave Thank you so much for your feedback and great review! Pleased to hear that you are loving our App. Just to let you know, the reason we don't have an option to delete old users from the system is to maintain the integrity of your records, as deleting the users would remove their inspections from your account. Best wishes Vicki

My Papertrail Experience

Very good, the support team are great and very responsive

PROS

Ability to maintain a digital inspection record, ability to remotely monitor Inspections

CONS

Cost, for a small organisation it is too expensive to have multiple users which stops me rolling it out across our whole organisation.

Reasons for switching to Papertrail

I'm not sure if that's the correct asset track. I don't recall the exact name. I moved organisation and wanted some of the benefits of a digital record but in a more user friendly product

Vendor Response
