inspect
Negative inspection reporting. Efficient and focused.

PSSLive+ supports:
Playground inspection scheduling
Mobile and offline inspections Routine, operational, reactive and annual inspections
Playground asset management Findings and risk management
Photographic and video evidence
Remedial tasks and contractor management
GIS mapping and reporting
Record
Record Findings. Manage Tasks. Meet Duty of Care.
Inspectors can complete playground inspections from a mobile device whilst on site, Record findings, photographs, video and risk information directly against the relevant piece of playground equipment.
Previously unresolved findings can be viewed and updated as required during the inspection, helping inspectors understand an asset's history and avoid duplicate reporting.
Records are synchronised with the web app, reducing adminand increasing the flow of accurate and up to date information
SCHedule
Inspections scheduled. Routine, Operational & Annual.
PSSLive+ helps teams manage their complete playground inspection program. Schedule routine and operational inspections around thefrequencies defined by your organisation's inspection and risk-managementpolicy, record reactive inspections when required and maintain annualinspection records alongside them.
Managers can see which inspections are due, completed oroverdue across all playground sites.Independent annual inspectors can also be given controlled access to PSSLive+, allowing annual inspection results to form part of the same asset history rather than being held separately.
This provides asingle source of information for knowing what you have, where it is and whatcondition it is in for all your playground sites, managing the inspectionrequirements and the ongoing maintenance and timely completion of anyidentified findings
MANAGE
Know what you have, where, and its status instantly.
PSSLIve+ enables you to maintain a complete asset record forplayground equipment throughout its lifecycle, including equipment details,photographs, inspections, findings, repairs and maintenance history.
Play-specific information can also be recorded, includingage ranges, equipment types, impact areas, accessibility and play value.GIS mapping provides a geographical view of playgrounds and assets, helping teams understand exactly what they manage and where it islocated.
From installation and routine inspection through to repairand eventual replacement, even budgeting, recording of accidents and enquiriesand of course report generation
Identifying a defect is only the beginning.When an inspector records a finding, PSSLive+ can create thework required to resolve it.
Tasks can be allocated to internal teams orcontractors, prioritised according to risk and urgency and followed through tocompletion.
Managers can see outstanding work across their playground sitesrather than relying on separate inspection reports, emails and maintenancerecords or even whatapps chains.
Keeping all your data in a single location is vital for management and for the peace of mind in the event of insurance claimsof for ease of access for FOI access.
defend
Defensible by design.
PSSLive+ has playground and recreational equipment standards mapped into the inspection workflow, helping inspectors record findings consistently against the equipment being inspected.
This is provided alongside a standard maintenancf inding group that has been built up over the years by those working in playareas.
Findings are linked to relevant asset, and remedial tasks,appropriate risk can be applied along photos and videos to aid rectification.

Playgrounds
The only play inspection software with BSEN 1176, 1177, 11630, 14974 and 15312 intelligently mapped into the workflow. Every finding structured around the standard. Every record ready to report against it.
"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."
Richard Davidson
Trees
Trees are living assets. Their condition, risk, and safety profile change over time, which means a simple inspection record isn't enough. PSSLive+ is built for this complexity, and gives arboricultural teams a complete lifecycle record from initial survey through to inspection, risk assessment, and any action taken.
"We have been using the PSSLive software since 2013 and have found it to be an invaluable tool to help us manage our play areas and trees. It gives us an effective audit trail of what was found when and how / when it was resolved. In addition the ability to manage our trees through the software — from initial surveying to follow up inspections has also been of great benefit."
Rob Thurston, Grounds Manager
Cemeteries
PSSLive+ covers the full inspection lifecycle across graveyards, plots, and memorials, including memorial stability testing. So every site is safe, well maintained, and fully traceable over time, giving you complete visibility and control over sensitive sites where accuracy and respect matter.
Parks & Open Spaces
From playing fields to country parks, PSSLive+ gives parks teams a structured way to inspect, record, and act. Map your assets, log findings against bins, benches, fences, pathways, and grass areas, assign tasks with risk assessments, and keep on top of the workload without losing track of what matters most - public safety and site condition.
"We now have a better audit trail, and can pick up patterns of issues on sites."
Nicola Holt, Environmental Engagement Manager

The Biodiversity module in PSSLive+ gives planners, councils and greenspace teams a complete recording tool for habitat surveys, BNG unit calculations and open space scoring. Every habitat accurately recorded, ready for development planning, biodiversity credits, or project funding applications.

Questions we get asked. Answered directly.
What is PSSLive for?
PSSLive is designed to manage the inspection workflow for fixed public assets. It enables you to build and maintain an asset register to support your duty of care, and then carry out structured inspections that record findings by exception. Any issues identified are converted into tasks, ensuring they are tracked through to timely resolution.
How long does setup take?
A few weeks, end to end. We handle setup, data import, training, and workflow configuration - so the system arrives configured for your service, not for you to configure on arrival.
Can we import our existing asset register?
Yes. We import your existing asset register into PSSLive+, and we'll quote on the work once we've seen a sample. Our team maps and plots your data, cleanses it where needed, and has it ready for day one.
If we choose to leave, what happens to our data?
You own your data. On termination, we can provide a full export - raw data and images, in a structured format - for a fee depending on volume and complexity. Or you can move to a read-only licence and keep accessing your data and reports the way you always have.
Is PSSLive+ available on any tender frameworks?
Yes. PSSLive+ is on the Government Commercial Agency G-Cloud framework, so public sector teams can procure directly without running a full tender.
How is PSSLive+ different from a niche inspection app or a large generic asset management system?
PSSLive+ sits between the two, deliberately. Niche inspection apps cover the inspection but not your asset register, tasks or reporting. Generic asset systems cover everything in theory, but they're slow to deploy, hard to configure, and built for no one in particular.
PSSLive+ does inspections, findings, tasks and reporting in one connected system - built around the sectors and standards your team actually works to.
