Measurements at the heart of the inspection
Flow rate, pressure, operating points: the VGP of a pump relies on precise readings. In the field, they are too often written down by hand and then re-entered at the office.
New · Pumps & hydraulic systems
The VGP of pumps and hydraulic systems, with measurements captured automatically.
Octav manages the periodic inspection of your pumps and hydraulic systems. Our mobile app connects directly to the flow meter: flow rate and pressure are captured without re-entry, and your inspection report generates itself.
Inspecting pumps is above all a matter of measurements
The VGP of pumps and hydraulic systems relies on precise readings. That is exactly where traditional inspection loses time and reliability.
The risk of transcription
Every manual transfer of a value is a source of error. A mis-copied measurement means a false report and fragile traceability in the event of an inspection.
A scattered equipment fleet
Motor pumps, booster pumps, hydraulic units, fire pumps: equipment is spread across several sites, with deadlines that are easily lost.
Demanding reporting
Your clients expect clear reports, with the measured values, the history and the recommendations — not a hastily reformatted spreadsheet.
A mobile app connected to your flow meter
No more notebook and copying at the office. The measurement goes directly from the flow meter to your VGP report, with no intermediary and no error.
Straight from the field
The flow meter’s reading becomes the report’s value.
The inspector connects their app to the flow meter, takes the reading and moves on to the next piece of equipment. Flow rate and pressure are already in the record, time-stamped and traced.
- ✓ Direct connection to the flow meter
- ✓ Flow rate and pressure captured without re-entry
- ✓ Values attached to the equipment and time-stamped
1. You connect the app to the flow meter
At the inspection point, the Octav mobile app connects directly to your flow meter. No notebook, no screen photo to deal with later.
2. Measurements are captured automatically
Flow rate, pressure and key values are captured directly from the device and attached to the inspected equipment — without any re-entry.
3. The report builds itself
The measurements instantly feed the equipment record and the VGP report, ready to be signed on site and sent to your client.
Faster in the field, more reliable on the report
By removing re-entry, you eliminate the riskiest step of the inspection and you present flawless deliverables.
Zero re-entry, zero transcription
The value measured by the flow meter becomes the value in the report directly. You remove the riskiest step of the inspection.
Reliable, time-stamped measurements
Each reading is dated, attached to the equipment and kept in its history — solid traceability in the event of an inspection or dispute.
Time saved in the field
The inspector stays focused on the job, not on paperwork. The report is ready when they leave the site.
Reporting that inspires confidence
Your clients receive clean reports, with the measured values and the equipment history, reflecting your company.
Pump VGP, powered by the entire Octav software
The automatic reading relies on everything that makes Octav: offline fieldwork, traceability, scheduling and client extranet — included with no paid option.
Field offline mode
Machine room, basement, remote site: you record and take readings even without a network, and syncing happens on return.
QR code / NFC on each pump
One scan and you open the equipment record, its measurement history and its next VGP deadline.
Automatic deadlines and reminders
Upcoming inspections are scheduled and reminded automatically — no more forgotten VGP anywhere on your fleet.
Client extranet included
Your clients independently view their reports, their measurements and their deadlines from their dedicated space.

Pump VGP and flow meter: your questions
Yes. Octav handles the periodic inspection of pumps and hydraulic systems — motor pumps, booster pumps, hydraulic units, fire pumps and associated equipment. You track each piece of equipment, its measurements, its history and its deadlines, with reports generated automatically and reflecting your company.
At the inspection point, the Octav mobile app connects directly to your flow meter. The measurements — flow rate, pressure and key values — are captured automatically and attached to the inspected equipment, without re-entry. They immediately feed the equipment record and the VGP report, ready to be signed and sent.
Because manually copying values is the leading source of error in an inspection. By capturing the measurement directly from the device, you remove this step: the value shown by the flow meter becomes the value in the report, time-stamped and traced. You save time and make your traceability more reliable.
Yes. Octav’s offline mode is designed for difficult environments: machine rooms, basements, remote sites. You take readings and record your inspections without a network, and everything syncs automatically as soon as the connection returns.
We are continually expanding the app’s compatibility with the flow meters used in the field. Contact us with your current equipment: we will confirm support and the best way to connect your flow meter to Octav.
