Our Commitment
Inspect & Track Smart Safety is built to help teams stay safe and productive with the best digital tools for conducting Lockout Tagout processes and Periodic Inspections.
Inspect & Track’s core features have been developed over the past 30+ years to meet the needs of safety professionals, with a primary focus on fire & life safety equipment inspections. The newest addition to our flagship product family is the Smart Safety Lockout Tagout program. The product was designed to automate LOTO program management the same way we successfully automate safety asset inspections.
This comes after years of watching our clients operate in split environments, with fully digitized asset inspections but paper based LOTO programs, often on the same machine. Collaboration with tenured safety professionals ensures that the features of this program are well thought out and meet the specific requirements of an OSHA compliant LOTO program. We’re confident that you’ll notice the distinction resulting from this style of development and love our new product!
Our History
Inspect & Track’s core features have been developed over the past 30+ years specifically to meet the needs of safety professionals.
1980s
After convening a group of fire safety professionals to learn about their inspection pain points and needs, TISCOR Protrac was developed to provide cutting-edge automation for equipment inspections. Assets were barcoded and inspections were recorded with a date & time stamp by running a crystal tip wand scanner across the barcode. Incident barcodes could be scanned following the equipment barcode to notate failed inspections.
1990s
Protrac users uncovered a major roadblock when using the software for fire extinguisher inspections: they were scanning barcodes placed at locations and if a fire extinguisher was moved or swapped they were unknowingly recording the inspection against the wrong extinguisher. To overcome this, the software was rewritten and renamed TISCOR Taskmaster. Movable equipment technology was developed and patented. It required a location barcode and an equipment barcode for each inspection so the software could verify locations and update equipment locations when moved. The Symbol PDT-3100 with 32 MB of RAM could be used to download basic route information and display information about the checkpoint scans.
2005
Although it was proven invaluable for managing fire extinguishers, users found location scanning to be redundant and inefficient for fixed equipment inspections. The software was reprogrammed so that equipment could be designated as moveable OR fixed and was renamed TISCOR Facility Manager. A Microsoft Pocket PC app was released along with a variety of new hardware options including the Symbol Dolphin with 64 MB of RAM for more memory and an intrinsically safe option.
2012
With solid features and functionality firmly established, the focus moved to new innovations in the software marketplace. The name was changed to InspectNTrack and the software became available as a cloud hosted platform with improved user interface. This offered substantial benefits including eliminating the need for company-owned servers and IT assistance with installation and updates. A new mobile app was offered that worked with Janam, Motorola, and Honeywell devices utilizing the Pocket PC platform. In 2015, an iOS mobile app was released for additional mobile options.
2024
Driven by the needs of the Safety Industry and our customers we launched the Lockout Tagout solution: Inspect & Track Smart Safety. The complete solution includes a cloud hosted web portal with rich analytics and mobile apps for Android and iOS.
