    Sitemate

    Sitemate's Dashpivot platform provides a dedicated hot works permit system: a drag-and-drop template builder for a custom hot works permit with photos, attachments and digital signatures, completion on mobile, tablet or computer, and automated approval workflows that route the permit from creator to each sign-off until closure. Records are stored in the cloud with geolocation, form numbering and an audit trail, and a free hot works permit template covers fire hazards, combustible materials, isolation requirements, fire watch arrangements, emergency equipment, approvals and sign-offs.

    Who is Sitemate for?

    Construction and industrial teams that want to digitise hot work permits quickly without a full EHS platform rollout. Dashpivot is a forms-and-workflow platform rather than a permit-to-work system with access control. Confirm how permit status is enforced at the point of work, and how re-verification after an interruption is recorded.

    Offline mobile captureDepends on scope

    The help centre states the Dashpivot mobile app can be used offline to take photos and fill out forms, storing the last opened team's template formats, the latest 300 photos and the last 30 forms per template, and that switching teams offline allows photos only. Uploads need the app reopened and left open after reconnection, so approvals involving other users depend on reconnection.

    External signatories without a full licenceDocumented by vendor

    The help centre states external users can sign permits without Dashpivot accounts and recommends manual signature fields for them. Sitemate Links lets non-users submit forms; single submissions are described as free and ongoing submissions are billed as Paid Sitemate Users, with a maximum of 20 templates per link.

    Expiry tracking and register viewsDepends on scope

    The help centre recommends adding expiry date fields, setting form thumbnails to show expiry dates and reordering register columns so expiry is visible. This is a template design practice; the pages do not state an automatic alert when a permit expires, so test whether notifications fire.

    Permit template creation and PDF markupDocumented by vendor

    The help centre documents browsing free permit templates, generating a custom template with Storm AI from a description, PDF markup for attached drawings on mobile and branded PDF export. Review any AI-generated template against your own hot work procedure before use.
