Skateparks,

BSEN 11630, 14974, 15312
Plus: parks, open spaces, car parks and allotments. Every module built around the specific compliance obligations that apply to it.
Purpose-built for the way your work is actually done.
Thirty-five years working with play and parks managers, tree officers, and cemetery teams. The product knows what you need to record, and why.
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
Biodiversity
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.
