The mobile app for playground inspections

Available on Android and iOS, the play and recreational inspection software offers a wide range of useful features and benefits including:

  • Accurate reporting
  • Easily create detailed, paperless audit trails
  • All data stored securely, in one place and in one format
  • Highly competitive annual license fee, with no restriction on the number of users
  • The software works without internet access, allowing you to use it in even the most remote locations

Thank you, I have been looking at my inspections and downloading information directly from the inspection portal. It’s such a great/easy app to use and I don’t have to worry about paperwork any longer

I would like to say I thought the training was absolutely one of the best training courses I have attended for quite some time, in regard to having my eyes opened. Having a copy of the presentation to write my notes on, and refer back to is invaluable to me. The on-site training, for me was vital, I learn best with the hands on approach rather than the classroom approach, so the afternoon session really did help implant the knowledge we learnt earlier. I will happily highly recommend your course.

I just wanted to contact you and offer feedback on the recent Operational Inspection Training myself and members of my team received. The training was carried out by Alan Lingley and it was very useful, concise, informative and extremely well delivered. Alan is an asset to your company and all of us at The Greensand Trust are very appreciative of his expertise. We look forward to working with your company again in the future and once again offer thanks for a job well done.

I just wanted to thank your whole team for the excellent service we’ve received this year. I’m hearing feedback today of reports being produced within hours of the inspection which is indeed excellent service!

I hope you all have a well-earned, amazing Christmas break and we look forward to keeping you busy and progressing our working relationship with the PIC team through 2023!

Thank you so much. Everyone really enjoyed the course! Everyone was commenting on how much they got from the course (even those that had completed previously!) I’m sure you already really value Jody – but his delivery of the course was perfectly pitched and fantastic! Please pass on our thanks!

Myself, My boss and 4 others attended Jody's Operational Inspection Course last week. I just wanted to provide feedback from the course. Jody made the two day course, not only very informative, but fun to learn too. The passion he has for his job really shows in his training techniques. One of our employees was taking a renewal and pointed out that he had learnt a lot more from Jody's course than he had previously from another company's training. He truly is an asset to your company. Many Thanks!

We have found that the Inspection system fills our needs perfectly, it’s easy to use and update, it produces very professional reports with photos that have helped us defend potential claims & is backed up by knowledgeable & professional staff that know the play industry inside & out, their inspections give us an independent realistic snapshot of our play areas.

The Public Forest estate is deeply connected to peoples lives and to the improving health and wellbeing of the nation. The New Forest welcomes over 15 million day visits per year. We offer 135 recreational sites and trails and over 100 miles of off road cycling routes for our visitors to access and enjoy the Forest. To ensure public safety we regularly inspect and maintain these facilities and have adopted the Play Inspection Companies software as our chosen system. Each of our sites is unique and consists of numerous infrastructure, litter bins, benches, signage, toilets, way marker posts and picnic tables. The PIC helped develop their software beyond its regular use of play equipment, to enable us to inspect all of our facilities and infrastructure. This even includes tree safety. The app allows multiple inspectors to undertake inspections and repairs to be signed off with ease and cloud storage is invaluable, with no paper-chain needed. The ability to interrogate the system and produce all manner of reports, provides peace of mind and robustness in terms of mitigating liability and managing public safety.

Having used other systems in the past, we know that this system really is the best out there. It is very easy for our operators to use whether utilising the pre-set faults, recording works completed or adding new features and equipment, it is very quick and simple.
