    Certainty Software

    Certainty connects inspection records to follow-up and reporting. Buyers can evaluate it for consistent checklists across locations, then check that action ownership and review rules match their audit process.

    Who is Certainty Software for?

    Safety, quality and supplier teams standardizing inspections across multiple sites. Enterprise identity, integrations, supplier access and automation require explicit plan and implementation scope. Tokenized supplier links need identity, expiry and data-isolation testing. Configurable standard-based templates do not certify the customer or guarantee compliance. The proof of concept has a published onboarding charge. Analytics is still labelled upcoming on the automation page, so obtain written feature availability and version details despite broader overview language.

    Worth evaluating when common audit standards and accountable remediation matter more than a standalone checklist. Use the proof of concept to test your own closure rules before committing.

    Published price: USD 18/user/month, billed annually. Sources checked .

    Capabilities and scope

    Certainty Software focuses on audit and inspection programs. Its automation offering includes separately scoped features; an announced feature is not assumed to be generally available. Audit, inspection and assessment programs with governed templates, mobile and offline evidence capture, scheduling, supplier participation, corrective-action workflows, change history and cross-site reporting. It is not treated as a complete EHS or EQMS suite: document control, training management, occupational health, regulatory content maintenance and other adjacent functions require separate evidence and scope.

    Governed templates, structured forms and audit schedulingDocumented by vendor

    Certainty documents governed templates, one-time or recurring schedules, site and user-group assignment, conditional and repeatable questions, signatures, GPS, barcode or QR inputs, and evidence attachments. Confirm template approval, effective dates, version rollout, skipped or overdue schedule handling and whether every field type works offline on the quoted devices. Configurable templates support a compliance process but do not certify the organization or guarantee conformity with a named standard.

    Supplier self-assessment and external participationDepends on scope

    The supplier pages describe self-assessment questionnaires, automated onboarding schedules, multi-step participation and tokenized supplier access links, with mobile and offline evidence capture. Confirm link expiry, identity verification, forwarding controls, supplier licensing, data separation, attachment limits, reminders and the buyer's independent review before approval. A completed supplier questionnaire is not independent assurance.

    Checklist version history and system change trailDepends on scope

    Current feature and safety pages describe system-wide change history, while the version 4.4 release notes specifically document change history for completed checklists and expanded checklist/action workflows. Verify which objects and events are logged, administrator actions, before-and-after values, timestamps, export, retention, immutability and the behavior of already-started offline audits after a template change.

    Certainty Software pricing

    Per-user subscription with enterprise options

    Standard is USD 18/user/month billed annually, with unlimited sites, checklists and data. Enterprise options require a quote, including optional SSO, data integration, OData and a test instance. The 30-day proof of concept lists a $930 onboarding fee with no licence fees during evaluation; confirm the fee currency and taxes in writing.

    Pricing sources checked : Checked against the vendor's published pricing. Rechecked the Standard USD annual-billing rate, paid proof-of-concept onboarding and separately scoped enterprise options. Current product pages document SSO, 2FA, OData/API and automation, while Analytics remains upcoming.

    Mobile audit capture offline; complete scope requires a demo

    The vendor documents mobile audit capture without connectivity and synchronization after reconnection. Verify preloaded checklists, attachment recovery and conflicting edits on the proposed devices.

    What we could not verify

    Demo script

    Demo exercise: finding through verified closure

    1. Configure a representative audit with a required evidence question.
    2. Record a failure and inspect the resulting owner, due date and notification.
    3. Attempt closure without sufficient evidence and test your required reviewer rule.
    4. Export the finding and action history for a second reviewer.

    Demo exercise: consistent audits across sites

    1. Deploy one checklist to two site groups with separate user access.
    2. Complete a disconnected audit on the intended field device.
    3. Reconnect and compare the site results using the same scoring definitions.
    4. Check translation ownership and the effect of a changed question.

    Demo exercise: supplier self-assessment to independently verified closure

    1. Create a fictional supplier onboarding program with a governed questionnaire, due date, conditional fields and required evidence, then issue it through the proposed external-access method.
    2. Complete part of the questionnaire as the supplier, including one offline evidence capture, and test link expiry, forwarding, resume behavior and access to other suppliers' data.
    3. Trigger a material nonconformance, assign a corrective action with evidence and a deadline, then attempt closure with a plan or promise rather than implementation proof.
    4. Have an independent buyer reviewer reject or approve the submitted evidence, schedule a follow-up audit and export the questionnaire version, finding, action, review and change history as one acceptance package.

    Ask the vendor to show you

    1. What must be downloaded before a disconnected audit?
    2. Which action changes require review before closure?
    3. What does our proof-of-concept onboarding fee include?
    4. Which BI, SSO and automation options are priced separately?
    5. For external supplier access, demonstrate link expiry and identity, tenant separation, an offline submission, independent buyer verification and a complete export after access is removed.

    Checks specific to this product

    Supplier access and evidence independence:
    Test token expiry, forwarding, identity proof, supplier data separation, attachment controls and removal of access. Keep supplier-submitted evidence distinct from the buyer's verification and approval; questionnaire completion alone is not independent assurance.

    Questions the sources answer

    Does Certainty Software support offline inspections?

    The vendor documents mobile audit capture and later synchronization. Validate the checklist, attachments and recovery steps you require on your own device configuration.

    Can Certainty manage overdue corrective actions?

    Its documented workflow supports assignment, notifications and escalation. Ask for a demonstration of reviewer approval and evidence requirements before closure.

    Are all Certainty automation features available today?

    The automation page describes Vision and Insights but labels advanced Analytics as upcoming. Request written availability and package scope for any automation you intend to buy.

    Is Certainty Software a complete EHS or quality management suite?

    The reviewed evidence supports audit, inspection, supplier-assessment, corrective-action and reporting workflows. It does not establish a complete suite for document control, training, occupational health, regulatory-content maintenance or every incident-management process. Scope adjacent requirements separately.

    Do Certainty templates certify compliance with ISO, OSHA or another standard?

    No. Certainty documents configurable templates and reference checklists for several audit programs, but software configuration and completed checklists do not certify the customer or replace qualified interpretation, evidence review and an independent certification process where required.

    Do suppliers need a normal Certainty account?

    The supplier-audit page describes tokenized access links intended to reduce account friction. Confirm the purchased supplier workflow, identity checks, link expiry and forwarding controls, licensing, data separation and access removal before relying on it.

    Does Certainty provide ready-made SAP, Tableau or Power BI integrations?

    The feature documentation says OData feeds and API access can support Power BI, Tableau, SAP and other enterprise systems, and describes Power BI reporting. That does not establish a packaged connector, bidirectional writeback or inclusion in Standard. Request the schema, authentication, refresh, failure handling, implementation ownership and enterprise charges.

    Sources and change log

    • Independent research from official Certainty product, solution, use-case and release documentation, not hands-on testing, a validated-system assessment or an independent user review.
    • Vendor claims about evidence-grade records and enforced closure are treated as demo targets.
    • SSO, 2FA, access controls, supplier links, APIs and change history are vendor-described; no underlying assurance report, immutable-retention evidence, connector specification, certification or independent rating was reviewed.
