Permit visibility

Permits are organized into status categories such as ‘Draft’ and ‘Open’, via QFM’s Permit Director, making it easy to find the information you need. QFM Permits to Work is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for the provision of work permits, from the initial request through approval and publication to the on-site operative.

Records are accessible to users who are configured to view them, ensuring the right people have access to the correct permit documentation.

Automated notifications

A multi-stage approval process can be pre-set to allow users to assign, reject and cancel permits, with the option for the approver to reject permits with notes for resubmission.  

Once the final approval is granted and the PDF generated and attached to the permit record, an email notification is automatically sent to key contacts with a link to the document. This reduces the risk of delays or miscommunications.
