FAQ
What is a Permit to Work (PTW) system?
A Permit to Work (PTW) System digitises the process of planning, approving and managing high-risk work. It replaces paper permits with digital workflows, helping organisations improve visibility, maintain compliance and keep a complete record of every permit, approval and sign-off.
Is Novade suitable for construction, oil & gas and industrial projects across the GCC?
Yes. Novade is used to manage high-risk work across construction, oil & gas, energy and industrial operations. Permit workflows can be configured to match your organisation’s processes while supporting projects across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and the wider GCC.
How does Novade help manage SIMOPS and conflicting permits?
Novade helps identify overlapping high-risk activities by location and schedule. Safety teams can visualise active permits, detect potential conflicts early and coordinate work before permits are approved.
Does Novade work offline?
Yes. Site teams can create, review and approve permits from mobile devices even without connectivity. Information synchronises automatically once a connection is restored, making it suitable for remote projects and industrial sites.
Can Permit to Work workflows be customised?
Yes. Permit templates, approval workflows, checklists and user permissions can be configured to reflect your organisation’s processes without changing how your teams work.
How does Novade help with audits and compliance?
Every permit action is recorded with a complete digital history, including approvals, signatures and timestamps. Records can be retrieved quickly for inspections, internal reviews and regulatory audits.
