Frequently asked questions

Everything about periodic inspection software and periodic inspections

Periodic inspection software (VGP, for "vérification générale périodique") is a digital solution built for companies that carry out regulatory inspections on lifting, fire-safety, work-at-height or material-handling equipment. It centralizes inspection schedules, equipment records, inspection reports, defect photos, due-date alerts and client delivery in a single interface that works both in the field and at the office. Octav replaces scattered Excel files and paper folders with structured, traceable and shareable tracking.

To choose periodic inspection software, assess at least four criteria: offline mode (essential on industrial sites with no network), the quality of customizable reports, due-date management with automatic alerts, and equipment traceability via QR code or NFC. Good periodic inspection software should also offer a complete history for every piece of equipment, a client space to share documents, and quick onboarding for field technicians. Octav brings all of these functions together in a single web and mobile platform.

Yes. Multi-site periodic inspection software centralizes your clients' entire equipment fleet — wherever it is located — in a single interface. You can view due dates by site, by equipment family or by technician, with a complete history for each piece of equipment. This is essential for inspection companies that manage dozens or hundreds of sites with different inspection frequencies. Octav lets you filter, export and deliver data site by site with no confusion and no loss of information.

Periodic inspection (VGP) is required by regulation for a wide range of equipment: lifting equipment (forklifts, overhead cranes, aerial work platforms, slings), fall-protection personal protective equipment, fire extinguishers, electrical installations and industrial racking. The frequency ranges from 3 months to 1 year depending on the equipment and how it is used. In the event of a labor-inspection audit, the safety register and the inspection reports must be immediately available and dated. Reliable periodic inspection software guarantees this traceability at all times.

Yes. The best periodic inspection software offers a full offline mode that lets technicians record their inspections on a smartphone or tablet even with no connection — essential in warehouses, basements, covered car parks or secured industrial sites. The data (reports, photos, signatures) syncs automatically as soon as the network is back. This offline mode is the number-one differentiator for field teams: it avoids double data entry, data loss and end-of-day friction.

Migrating from Excel to periodic inspection software happens in several steps: cleaning up and structuring your existing equipment fleet, importing clients and sites, configuring report templates, then training field technicians. With Octav, onboarding support is included so your first digital inspections can start quickly. Recovering your prior history is possible depending on the quality of the source data. The goal is to be operational in the field within a few weeks, with no disruption to your business.

Yes. Octav was designed to cover every family of regulatory periodic inspections: lifting equipment (forklifts, overhead cranes, aerial work platforms, slings, tail lifts), fire-fighting equipment (extinguishers, fire hose reels), fall-protection personal protective equipment (harnesses, lanyards, connectors), work at height (scaffolding, ladders), material handling (pallet trucks, stackers) and racking. You can therefore manage your entire inspection business in a single tool, whatever the diversity of your clients' equipment.

Yes. Periodic inspection software must let inspection companies issue and receive their invoices in an electronic format that complies with the French reform. Octav covers this obligation thanks to a partnership with a Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP) registered by the tax authorities. You issue your invoices from Octav just as you do today; transmission in the right format (Factur-X, UBL, CII) and filing on the official network are handled behind the scenes. No extra module to buy and no technical configuration on your side: the feature is included in your plan.
