    • The PSSLive system is the perfect tool for Inspecting and reporting on the Parks, Playgrounds and open spaces throughout the City & County of Swansea area.

      John Hopkins - City and County of Swansea
    • PSS worked alongside Worcester Council to meet their request for specific Findings and Tasks to be associated with Trees.
      Public Sector Software on working with Worcester
    • "You had the insight to listen to people from the doing end, I like to drive software rather than it drive me, this has made PSS a very practical and easy-to-use product if you choose to use it."
      Andy Ford - Rushmoor Borough Council

    • “At Lewes District Council, we have recently started using PSSLive for logging all of our tree stock. Our inspectors using the mobiles carry out inspections of the trees to ensure that they are healthy and safe. Any arboriculture work required on the tree will be 'tasked' at the same time. We have found the software to be very user friendly; and it's always good to know that there is a fast response from PSSLive if we need a helping hand!”

      Andy Frost, Lewes District Council

    • “It is very easy to find time to complain, pick holes and tell someone you are not happy with their services, but we never make the same allowances to say thank you or to say we appreciate what has been done. Your system is not one of the best, it is the best and a joy to use.”

      Jennie Judd - Newport County Borough Council

    • “Enables a concise record of inspection / maintenance to be kept, which is an invaluable asset when dealing with liability claims.”

      John Edmondson

    • "On the iPad it's the best piece of software I've ever used.”

      John Millard
    • “With so many play areas and records that have to be kept for over 20 years, PSSLive has saved paper, storage and time required to search for records. Not only that, it has made staff accountable and the play areas safer and a more attractive place to be. A versatile tool that can be used by all personnel at a level they are comfortable with which produces vital information for the operation of our 500 play sites, an important part of our landscape accountability."
      Milton Keynes City Council

    • "The fact that the data is always up to date for all users when they access the software eliminates any confusion."

       

      Peter Jones, Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
    • It’s been great being able to use the software and have pictures relating to each asset, findings and tasks in the parks and playgrounds.
      Bethany Dove - Torbay Council

    • The product itself has helped us immensely in reducing paperwork. It has increased the ability of the maintenance team to inspect and record everything they do and thus prove and track their own effectiveness.

      Before PSSLive, often work would get done, but the repairs were not recorded. The ability to track the maintenance teams process is a huge asset to both management and the team themselves.

      Kevin Shackell - Manchester City Council Neigbourhood Team

    • "Since 2011 we have a had a far more robust system in place for both inspecting and maintain equipment, which has lead to quicker response times when dealing with issues and a reduction in the number of claims against the Council." Martin Harris, Parks Technical Officer (Parks and Open Spaces)

      Nottingham City Council

    • "Nathan was very thorough regarding relevant information and detail. He was constantly checking whether people understood. I was extremely impressed by his overall attitude"

      ANSA Training Course feedback 25th July 2018
    • Following the transfer from paper to electronic inspections for play equipment, we have seen a reduction in the labour time taken regarding the preparation of paper documents and the final preparation of documents that are used by our partners. Several days work has been reduced to an average  of two hours with PSSLive. Inspectors time  is saved  in not visiting the depot to collect paper information as this is now available on the mobile app. Back office time is saved.  Actual inspector time is saved and  vehicle running costs are saved - all making for a first class professional system.
      Barrie Alderson - Durham County Council (2019)
    • “The PSS Inspection system played an important role in helping Redditch BC defend an Insurance Claim that occurred on one of our Play Areas. We were able to gather a whole raft of evidence of inspections, works done previously on the site, risk assessments and more. We also had the evidence of the Annual Inspector and his inspections which added  to our case” Richard Davidson, Redditch & Bromsgrove District Council
      Defends and Support against Insurance Claims - Redditch
    • The staff at PSS, are always on hand to offer support as and when it is needed. Any issues we may be facing are resolved quickly and efficiently and are always dealt with in a positive and  friendly manner, nothing is too much trouble. The service they provide has always been first class. Wayne Hock, Miracle Design and Play
      Miracle Design and Play
    • I have been in the business for 20 years and have found that PSSLive+ is the best system we have ever used, its brilliant and easy to use. The reporting tool is ideal for creating reports for the inspections we complete on our parishes and the grid makes it quick and easy to find information. We also use PSSLive+ for budgeting and identifying areas by ward for future development. The new web-based app has made it even quicker and easier to use.
