What kinds of forms can you digitise?
Almost anything your team currently does on paper or in Word documents — LOLER thorough examination reports, PSSR written scheme records, COSHH assessments, RIDDOR reports, near-miss forms, nonconformity records, supplier evaluations, toolbox talk records, induction checklists, and management review outputs. If it's a form with fields, logic, and a record that needs keeping, we can build it. We work from your existing documents — no need to rethink your process.
How does the process work from start to finish?
You send us your existing paper forms, Word documents, or a description of what you need. We scope the work, recommend a tier, and confirm a fixed price. Once agreed, we build your forms, host them on your branded portal, configure access for your team, and hand over a live system. Ongoing, we manage the hosting, keep the platform updated, and make changes as your processes evolve. The whole build typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on volume and complexity.
How do I know which tier I need?
Most people don't, and that's fine. Book a short scoping call and we'll recommend one based on the number of forms, users, and any integrations involved. The majority of our deployments land in the Standard band — one branded portal, around 10–15 forms, ISO clause mapping, approvals and routing. Pilot suits a single critical form or a small team proving the concept; Scale is for multi-site operations or white-label partners. We'll tell you honestly which tier fits — and we'd rather underquote you and see you grow than oversell you.
Do the forms generate proper statutory records?
Yes. Each form generates a timestamped PDF record with a reference number, the completed data, and the submitter details. For statutory forms like LOLER and PSSR, these are formatted to meet the requirements of the relevant regulation. Records are stored in your portal's archive, exportable at any time, and suitable for presentation to an auditor, client, or the HSE. Every record is immutable once submitted — no editing after the fact.
What does "clause mapping" mean?
Each form is tagged to the ISO clause or statutory regulation it satisfies — for example, a LOLER inspection form is mapped to LOLER 1998 Reg. 9 and ISO 45001 Clause 8.1. When your auditor asks for evidence against a specific clause, you pull exactly the right records instantly. It turns your form records into structured audit evidence, not just a stack of PDFs.
Who can access our portal, and is it secure?
Access is invitation-only — your team members receive an invite and authenticate before they can reach the portal. There are no usernames or passwords to manage, and access can be revoked immediately. The portal is hosted in the UK on Onyx's managed infrastructure; your data doesn't leave UK jurisdiction. User allowances are included in each tier (20 with Pilot, 50 with Standard, 100 with Scale); additional users are £15/month each.
What's included in the monthly managed fee?
The monthly fee covers hosting, platform updates, access management, ongoing form amendments (minor changes to fields, logic, or wording — volume scaling with your tier), PDF record storage, and support. We treat it as a managed service — if something breaks or your process changes, you contact us and we fix it. There's no self-service portal to learn; that's the point.
Can you white-label the portal for our clients?
Yes. If you're an HSQE consultancy or compliance contractor looking to offer smart forms under your own brand, we can build and manage portals on your behalf — mapped to your domain, styled to your brand, billed to you at a partner rate. Your clients see your brand, not ours. White-label capability is included as standard in the Scale tier. Get in touch to discuss the partner arrangement.
What happens if I want to cancel?
Thirty days' notice and we'll export your records as a complete archive — PDFs, metadata and submission history — before we decommission the portal. No lock-in, no hostage data. The setup fee is non-refundable once build starts, but there's nothing else tying you in.
