Digital PPE management – all features

From recording to inspection to the report: here you can see what APPEC can do. Most features are self-explanatory in the app.

Traffic-light state

See what is due at a glance

Every article and every folder shows its state in colour – just like in the app:

  • inspectedupcomingoverduetoo old
  • in repairdiscardednot found
  • in stocknot to be checked

You decide when an article counts as “upcoming”. With the reference date you can see the state on a future day and plan the next inspection in advance.

Digital inspection form

Inspect on your smartphone, tablet or PC

Select an article, answer the inspection questions and save. Photos, attachments and signature go straight into the report.

  • If there is a defect: set the article to “in repair” or “discarded”
  • Multiple inspection for a whole folder, positive multiple inspection in one step
  • Mark articles that cannot be found as “not found”
  • Inspections can be corrected for 10 days, then they are stored permanently

Inventory and folders

Organised like your stores – only faster

Create folders that match where your equipment actually is: by vehicle, location, rucksack, locker or user. Every folder shows the state of its contents.

  • Excel import of up to 2,000 articles with duplicate check
  • Multiple editing like in a spreadsheet – on tablets too
  • “Save & create another” for many identical articles
  • Articles without inspection requirement as plain inventory

Reminders and calendar

Never miss an inspection or expiry date again

APPEC reminds you before articles become due or too old – as far in advance as you like.

  • Push notifications per state, optionally not at weekends
  • E-mail summary daily, weekly, monthly or yearly
  • Calendar with all due dates, via a personal link in Outlook, Google or Apple Calendar

Platforms

One account, all devices

APPEC runs where you inspect: in the stores on the PC, at the station on a tablet, on the move on your smartphone. All devices work with the same data in real time.

Your data is stored on servers in the EU (Italy), with daily backups. APPEC requires an internet connection.

FAQ

Questions about the features

Can't find your question? Check the documentation or write to us.

Which manufacturers are in the database?

The central database contains models from Petzl, Kong, Camp, Climbing Technology, Edelrid, Beal, Skylotec, Teufelberger and other manufacturers, with properties, service life, standards and inspection questions. It is extended continuously. If a model is missing, you can create it yourself.

Can I create my own models and inspection questions?

Yes. You can create models, categories, manufacturers and inspection questions yourself – including several control intervals per model, for example a visual check and an annual inspection.

How do I tag my equipment?

With NFC chips, QR codes or barcodes. Codes already applied by the manufacturer can be used directly. Articles without a tag can be found via search and filters.

Can I inspect several articles at once?

Yes. With the multiple inspection you work through a whole folder or a selection one article after another. Articles without defects are closed in one step with the positive multiple inspection, articles that cannot be found are marked as “not found”.

Will I be reminded of due inspections?

Yes, by push notification and e-mail – daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. You can also add the APPEC calendar to Outlook, Google or Apple Calendar via a personal link.

Can I import my Excel list?

Yes, up to 2,000 articles at once. The table detects duplicate serial numbers and checks all data. Rows with errors remain so that you can correct them.

Which devices does APPEC run on?

As a web app in the browser on any PC, Mac and tablet, and as an app for iPhone, iPad and Android. All devices work with the same data. For NFC and RFID on a PC or iPad there are Bluetooth readers that work with any device.

Do I need an NFC reader?

Usually not. Most smartphones read NFC chips directly, and any device with a camera scans QR codes and barcodes. For PCs, iPads and chips with other frequencies we recommend Bluetooth readers: they work like a keyboard and with any device – more under NFC and RFID.

Does APPEC work without internet?

No. APPEC is a cloud system and requires an internet connection. In return, your data is up to date on every device, and if a device breaks, nothing is lost.
