    Pisys Permit to Work

    Pisys combines a permit board with task-risk, isolation and contractor management. Buyers with existing maintenance systems should examine its documented Maximo integration approach. The mobile application has a defined account requirement, so field deployment should include role provisioning and reconnect acceptance tests.

    Who is Pisys Permit to Work for?

    Industrial, maintenance and facilities teams coordinating permits across worksites and contractors. Pisys documents configurable approval, suspension, reissue, hand-back, isolation, contractor and SIMOPS workflows, but the buyer remains responsible for the site control-of-work procedure, competence model and legal compliance. Offline mobile hand-back is narrower than complete offline operation; a self-hosted vessel deployment and synchronisation described in a customer case study do not establish the standard cloud service. Confirm whether Maximo/API work, Entra ID, multilingual configuration, QR/tag equipment and any adjacent Pisys modules are included.

    Worth evaluating when a dedicated permit office needs contractor and maintenance context in one workflow. Compare the cost of configuring your actual approval process and interfaces, not an assumed generic seat price.

    Contractor module and document checks
    Mobile completionDepends on scope

    The publisher app supports disconnected work followed by upload. Confirm exact transitions rather than extrapolating to every authorization.

    Publisher mobile app description and account requirement
    Maximo linkageDepends on scope

    The documented client approach exchanges work-order context and permit links. Status definitions, mappings and endpoint examples require configuration; this is not evidence of a preconfigured connector included in every subscription.

    Maximo integration and illustrative engineering patterns
    Pisys PTW APIDepends on scope

    The Maximo article states that Pisys PTW has an API. Public material does not establish general entitlement, complete endpoint documentation, limits or support for a buyer-built integration; require these in the proposal.

    Access and retentionDocumented by vendor

    Pisys describes role-based access, encryption, recovery and retention controls. Obtain contract-specific details and evidence.

    Hosting and access-control approach
    Task risk assessment and RAMS contextDocumented by vendor

    Pisys describes task steps, hazards, pre- and post-mitigation severity and likelihood, and controls that can form a RAMS record in the PTW workflow. Template and risk-library governance remain the customer's responsibility.

    Permit workflow, commercial inclusions and offline FAQIntegrated task-risk and permit design guidance
    SIMOPS and concurrent-work visibilityDepends on scope

    The live permit board and plot-plan view support review of simultaneous work and potential interactions. Official material does not establish that every conflict is detected automatically; demonstrate rule logic and the supervisor's manual responsibilities.

    SIMOPS visibility, live board and plot-plan use
    Isolation tag printing and QR accessDocumented by vendor

    Isolation tags can be printed with populated details, and QR codes can take a mobile user to linked permit and isolation information. Confirm supported printers, device access, damaged-tag procedure and whether scanning changes any isolation state.

    Isolation tags, QR access and permit linkage
    Configurable permit lifecycleDepends on scope

    Pisys positions the system for planning, review, authorisation, execution and formal close-out, with a documented customer configuration retaining approvals, suspensions and daily reissues. Exact states, segregation of duties and extension rules are configuration-dependent.

    Permit lifecycle stages, independent review and authorisationCustomer-specific self-hosted vessel deployment and synchronisation
    Multi-site and offshore deploymentDepends on scope

    Pisys describes central multi-worksite visibility, while one official customer case study used locally hosted vessel servers and synchronisation to an onshore system. Treat that topology, multilingual operation and synchronisation as a scoped reference configuration rather than a default cloud capability.

    Also watch for: No numeric subscription verified. Offline action permissions need a task-by-task demonstration. Illustrative API architecture is not a preconfigured connector guarantee.

    Pisys Permit to Work pricing

    Custom quote

    Pricing is not publicly available as a numeric subscription in the reviewed official sources, contact vendor. Request a proposal specifying worksites, user roles, modules, interface delivery and renewal terms. The product page lists onboarding, hosting, Entra ID integration, support, upgrades and storage as included subscription features.

    Pricing sources checked : Selected sources checked; no starting price recorded. Rechecked the current product, isolation, security and Maximo integration pages. The product page offers a free trial using the buyer's permits by arrangement; duration, deployment model, configured workflows and enabled scope require confirmation.

    Which product scope should the quote cover?

    Configurable permit-to-work software for permit lifecycle control, task risk assessment, isolations, contractor records and simultaneous-work visibility. Hosting, mobile/offline behaviour, SSO, interfaces and deployment topology must be scoped for the contracted environment.

    Ask the vendor to identify the product, region, modules, billing unit, contract term and included services in writing.

    Offline work and integrations

    The official product FAQ documents offline completion and hand-back with database updates after reconnection. The publisher app listing requires an existing Pisys PTW account. Issuance, changed isolations, emergency suspension visibility and conflicting updates require explicit verification.

    What we could not verify

    6 depend on scope

    Demo script

    Demo exercise: contractor expiry during a job

    1. Add a contractor with a document close to expiry.
    2. Assign the worker to a proposed permit.
    3. Advance the date and inspect warnings and role restrictions.
    4. Review the authorized response and export its history.

    Demo exercise: hand-back and maintenance-system recovery

    1. Load an issued sample permit on the mobile account.
    2. Disconnect and perform the supported completion sequence.
    3. Change related information centrally and simulate an unavailable maintenance interface.
    4. Reconnect and inspect conflict handling, pending work and successful write-back.

    Demo exercise: shared isolation and SIMOPS conflict

    1. Create two permits in overlapping plot-plan areas, with one shared energy isolation and incompatible work conditions.
    2. Route both through the configured independent review and authorisation roles and inspect the board's conflict visibility.
    3. Issue both permitted jobs, suspend one, and attempt to remove or restore the shared isolation while the other remains active.
    4. Scan the printed isolation tag from a mobile device and compare the displayed state with the permit office view.
    5. Close and hand back in the wrong sequence, then verify blocks, warnings, audit entries and the authorised recovery path.

    Ask the vendor to show you

    1. Which permit states, role approvals, suspensions, extensions, reissues and hand-back rules will be configured for each site?
    2. Which actions can each role perform offline, and when does a reconnected action become authoritative?
    3. How are conflicting offline and central updates resolved, and how are emergency suspensions communicated to disconnected users?
    4. How do contractor document expiry, competence rules and site induction affect proposed and active permits?
    5. Show how shared isolations prevent restoration while any linked permit remains live, including tag loss or QR failure.
    6. Which SIMOPS rules are automated checks and which depend on a supervisor reading the board or plot plan?
    Use demo checklist

    Questions the sources answer

    Does Pisys PTW work without internet?

    The product FAQ documents offline completion and hand-back. The app requires an existing account. Ask how changed central records are reconciled before treating a field update as authoritative.

    Can Pisys track contractor qualifications?

    Its contractor module records company and worker documentation, with expiry tracking. Demonstrate your approval criteria and what happens to affected jobs when a document expires.

    Can Pisys connect permits to IBM Maximo?

    Pisys publishes a Maximo integration approach for work-order context and permit links. Its sample API designs are illustrative. Confirm the supported configuration, commercial scope and delivery owner.

    Does Pisys software make a permit compliant?

    No. Pisys describes configurable workflows and support for HSE and management-system requirements, but the applicable procedure, roles, hazards, controls and authorization remain the customer's responsibility. Validate the configured process against the requirements for each site.

    Does Pisys automatically detect every SIMOPS conflict?

    The official material documents a live permit board and plot-plan visibility for simultaneous work. It does not prove that every interaction is algorithmically detected. Ask the vendor to distinguish automated checks, configured rules and supervisor review.

    Does the isolation module include lockout hardware?

    Pisys documents isolation records, tag printing and QR access. That does not establish that printers, locks, tags, mobile devices or other physical LOTO equipment are included; itemise hardware and procedures in the proposal.

    Can Pisys support approvals, suspensions and daily permit reissues?

    An official customer case study describes those processes being retained in a configured deployment, and Pisys documents a configurable lifecycle. Demonstrate the exact state model and permissions proposed for your site rather than assuming that customer's workflow is a default template.

    Can Pisys PTW be self-hosted offshore?

    A vendor case study describes dedicated servers aboard vessels, local Wi-Fi access and synchronisation with an onshore system. This is evidence of one delivered configuration, not proof that self-hosting or synchronisation is included or currently supported for every buyer.

    Is Action Tracker included with Permit to Work?

    Pisys presents Action Tracker and PTW as specialised products within a wider portfolio. A digital-permit article discusses linking an action-tracking system, but this does not establish bundled entitlement. Require the quote to identify every included module and integration.
