Is it easier than using spreadsheets?

Yes! Spreadsheets get really complicated once your inventory starts growing, with hundreds of documents and folders with no reminders for inspections and no accountability and prone to user entry errors. In short they are a nightmare for asset management and inspections.

Papertrail is better than spreadsheets in every single aspect, whether it's ease of use, features or functionality.

“We have more than 7,500 pieces of equipment here at Zip World. We’ve got a range of things that need inspecting at different levels.

The best thing about Papertrail is its ease of use, really. It’s very simple for myself and other people to use. And we’ve got an exact record of who’s used it, because it’s very secure.

It’s got good accountability. Papertrail halves the time it takes to record inspections”.
