Novara Flex combines EHS records with configurable workflows and learning management. Evaluate it using one inspection finding, an assigned action and the evidence needed to verify the result. Training completion and action closure need separate acceptance criteria.
Built from vendor sources checked ; AI-assisted drafting. Documentation review, not a hands-on test. How pages are made
Safety teams connecting site inspections, accountable follow-up and role-based learning across field operations. Confirm the licensed EHS and training scope, offline preparation, translation limits and practical assessment arrangements. Course completion does not establish competence or prove an action effective.
Compare the complete quote with the effort to route a finding, collect corrective evidence and maintain required learning. Include configuration and internal review time; a large course library alone does not establish useful coverage for the tasks and languages you need.
Watch for: Cross-module triggers, course formats and final approvals need a configured demonstration. No independently verified starting price or hands-on performance result is assigned.
Trial or demo on request. Sources checked .
Vendor visuals—not a QHSEtech hands-on test.
Novara Flex is the former KPA Flex. KPA announced the separation of Flex and Risk Management Center into Novara on 27 January 2026; KPA retained its automotive focus. This profile covers Flex, not KPA automotive services or the separate Risk Management Center product.
| Capability | Evidence | Scope and source |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection and incident capture | Documented by vendor | The mobile app supports forms with photo and location evidence. Offline records are retained on the device for later synchronization; demonstrate incomplete uploads and corrections. Mobile capture and synchronization |
| Action ownership and review history | Documented by vendor | The workflow engine describes owners, due dates, signatures, attachments and a timestamped history. Configure the reviewer decision and verify what happens when evidence is rejected. Workflow ownership and review history |
| Assigned learning and completion records | Documented by vendor | Flex Training describes group/location assignments, customized lessons and completion tracking. A practical assessment or task authorization needs its own defined evidence and responsible reviewer. Flex Training and learning records |
| Finding-to-training automation | Depends on scope | Workflow and training tools are documented separately. Demonstrate the actual trigger, affected worker group, duplicate prevention and handling of a later procedure revision; an automatic end-to-end link was not verified. Workflow ownership and review historyFlex Training and learning records |
| Offline resources and language boundaries | Depends on scope | Mark resources for offline download. Automatic translation excludes offline forms, PDFs, videos and images; narration has a separate add-on condition. Review the actual content workers will receive. Resource preparation for offline accessMultilingual coverage and exclusions |
| Integration and data portability | Depends on scope | The API page describes token-authenticated JSON/CSV exchange, including employee, training, inspection and form-response data. Confirm endpoint coverage, permissions, limits and error recovery for the proposed connection. API data exchange |
| Disconnected approval and competence verification | Not verified | The reviewed documentation does not establish every approval, practical assessment or authorization step without connectivity. Test these independently from offline capture and course completion. |
| Incident investigation and OSHA recordkeeping | Documented by vendor | Flex documents mobile injury, near-miss and property-damage reporting, notifications, root-cause investigation, assigned corrective actions and OSHA 300, 300A and 301 logs. A competent reviewer must still determine recordability and jurisdictional applicability. Incident investigation, alerts and OSHA recordkeepingConfigurable dashboards, filters and regulatory reports |
| Configurable forms and submission routing | Documented by vendor | Administrators can build forms with required questions, conditional logic, attachments and templates, then route submissions into approvals, corrective actions and notifications. Demonstrate version control, permissions and rejected or partial submissions before replacing controlled forms. Custom compliance forms, conditional logic and routingWorkflow ownership and review history |
| Operational dashboards and report drill-down | Documented by vendor | Reporting connects field submissions, findings and incidents to configurable dashboards with filters, drill-down and formatted exports. Confirm metric definitions, refresh timing, access controls and included reports. Configurable dashboards, filters and regulatory reports |
| SDS library, field retrieval and secondary labels | Depends on scope | SDS Manager is described with a searchable library, distribution of updated sheets, mobile and offline retrieval, and GHS secondary-container label printing. Confirm quote inclusion, test synchronization on prepared offline devices and have competent reviewers validate translated safety information and labels. SDS library, offline retrieval and GHS labels |
Quote-based all-in-one subscription
On 2 October 2026 novara.com still had no pricing page (/pricing returned its not-found page), and no amount appeared on the Flex EHS page. A site search for "pricing" returned blog posts, a training course and content pages, none a pricing page; in its excerpt of Novara's own product comparison, Flex's pricing model is given as an all-in-one subscription, quote-based. Request the EHS and training entitlements, worker/reviewer access, course licensing, multilingual narration, implementation, integrations and renewal terms in writing.
Pricing sources checked : Partially verified. The reviewed vendor comparison is used only for Flex identity and its stated pricing model; competitor claims and third-party ratings are not adopted.
Flex EHS and Flex Training are the focus of this review.
Ask the vendor to identify the product, region, modules, billing unit, contract term and included services in writing.
The mobile app documents offline inspections, incident capture and assigned training, with later synchronization. Resources must be marked for offline access and downloaded in advance. Offline forms and PDF/video/image content are not automatically translated. Verify preparation, supported course formats, restart, conflict handling and reviewer approvals on the actual device.
Novara identifies Flex as the former KPA Flex. The January 2026 business separation created Novara for Flex and Risk Management Center, while KPA continued with automotive compliance. This profile does not combine those separate products and services.
No. The multilingual page excludes offline forms and PDF, video and image content from automatic translation. Prepare and inspect the required language materials on the actual device.
No. Set separate evidence for learning completion, any practical assessment and the follow-up decision. The proposed demo deliberately retains a recurring finding after a course is completed.
