Inspecable vs IsoMetrix
IsoMetrix is the EHS and sustainability suite South African mining groups already know: a Johannesburg office, a platinum refinery on its customer page, ESG reporting for the board. A SHEQ manager compares it with Inspecable when the group has the suite and the shift still runs on paper. This page compares the two from IsoMetrix’s own pages, read on 5 October 2026.
Where IsoMetrix may be the better fit
Enterprise EHS breadth with ESG
Occupational health and hygiene, medical surveillance, quality, enterprise and third-party risk, stakeholder management, carbon accounting and ISO 14064-aligned reporting. Inspecable has none of the ESG side and its health programmes are partial.
A South African track record
A Johannesburg office, a named platinum refinery story on its own site, and a press-documented history in South African mining since 2003. Inspecable has no approved customer references.
iOS and Android, five languages, implementation teams
Offices on four continents, Carlyle backing and more than 200 enterprise clients stated in 2019. Inspecable is Android and web, from one team in Johannesburg.
Where Inspecable is different
What happens after a failed item
A failed step raises a tracked issue with a due date on the spot, offline, and closure is refused without a method, evidence and a signature. IsoMetrix has a central action manager; its pages do not describe enforced closure.
Offline as the default, not a conversion
Inspections, incidents, near misses and toolbox talks run offline on Android for every customer. IsoMetrix states that any module can be converted into an offline form, which is an admin step per module.
A published rand price and a trial
R150 per field user and R250 per admin per month, a 14-day trial, and an AI import that turns a photo of the paper form into a checklist. IsoMetrix is quote only with no free trial listed.
What each one does, as its own pages describe it
| Area | Inspecable | IsoMetrix |
|---|---|---|
| Working with no signal | Inspections, incidents, near misses and toolbox talks run on the Android app with no signal and sync when the app is opened back in range. One online warm-up first. Web dashboard for the office. | Any module can be converted into an offline form for Android or iOS to capture and edit records without a connection, then synced. Offline reading of existing records, history or documents: not stated on the pages read. |
| After a failed item | A failed step raises a tracked issue with a due date on the spot, offline. Closure is refused without a method, evidence and a signature, enforced in the database, and the closer cannot be the assignee. | Findings and a Central Action Manager across modules. Enforced closure with evidence and signature: not described on the pages read. |
| A record you can hand over | Every inspection carries a hash-chained history of sign-offs and amendments you can verify from the dashboard or the phone, plus a signed PDF per inspection and a ZIP export by date range. | Dashboards and board, annual and ESG reporting; reviewers praise the sustainability reporting. A verifiable per-inspection history: not described on the pages read. |
| South African compliance | A legal register seeded with MHSA obligations or an OHS Act pack, clause-level conformance for ISO 45001, SANS 3000-1 and the MHSA, and an AI standards report that checks a completed inspection against the MHSA corpus with a person confirming each finding. | Compliance and permits, audits, inspections, incidents and occupational health modules; a mining and metals page; a Johannesburg office. No MHSA or OHS Act content found on the pages read. |
| Permits to work | Permits to work and lockout on the web dashboard: a permit cannot go active until every signatory has signed and every isolation is verified by a second person, and cannot close with a lock still on. | Permit management is listed on the mining page. Signatory and isolation rules: not described on the pages read. |
| Breadth | Safety, inspections, permits, incidents, documents, training, assets and the legal register on one edition; work orders, job cards, dispatch, parts and time and attendance on the Operations edition. | Safety, health and hygiene, quality, sustainability, compliance and permits, enterprise risk, third-party risk and integrated management systems. |
| Platform | Android app on Google Play and a web dashboard. No iPhone app. Integrations are custom work, quoted on request. | Web, iOS and Android. Google Play shows 3.9 stars from 29 reviews and over 10,000 downloads. |
| Pricing | R150 per field user and R250 per admin per month, shown in your own currency on the pricing page and billed in rand; a 14-day trial with no card, every trial on the Safety & Compliance edition. The Operations edition is switched on by Inspecable. | Quote only. No pricing page; Capterra lists no free trial and no free version. |
| Where they are | Built and supported from Johannesburg for South African mines, process plants, manufacturing sites, utilities and heavy-equipment fleets. | Offices in Atlanta, Johannesburg (Fourways), Santiago, Toronto, London and Perth. Johannesburg origin and a 2019 Carlyle investment are documented in press. |
