As a company, you have to fulfill many compliance guidelines and adhere to documentation obligations. To meet these requirements, neither pen-and-paper checklists on clipboards nor self-made Excel sheets to tick off are sufficient these days. Both are too error-prone and lack automation potential. So start into the digital future for your production processes with dynamic forms and interactive checklists and use the digital checklist software from Germanedge.
So what are you waiting for: start your digital transformation with Checkware now!
Would you like to find out more about checklists using a user example?
Then read through our use case “Work approvals with digital checklists: transparently mapping and documenting multi-stage processes” and get to know the software’s functions even better.
If you need to carry out a factory tour, the checklist software will help you organize and follow up. You can attach checklists to recurring tasks and simply resume the checklist even if the site tour is interrupted.
This results in fewer errors and lower follow-up costs, and the user-friendliness of the application is very high.
Using drop-down lists in our digital checklist solution, you can save time on release bills when carrying out hazardous work. The function is fulfilled via simple checkboxes that your employees can tick and pre-filled fields by transferring data from Finito or another system.
Thanks to the electronic signature of the documents, the checklists do not have to be additionally filed as paper printouts. This saves costs for printouts and filing. The signature is possible with touchscreen devices, as well as with signature pads (e.g. Signotec, WACOM), which can be connected to a computer via a USB port.
The software saves the time at which an entry was made and who processed the checklist, so that you have full transparency in the work process.
Our solution has status overviews of the execution status of regular checks. These status views are for employee checks, security checks on objects, maintenance processes and much more. This gives you a compliance overview “at the touch of a button” and ensures satisfied auditors.
With Checkware, you can not only create checklists, but also assign them to the exact departments that need to process them as part of the operational processes. With the Checkware task management extension, checklists can be initiated and assigned to individual processors. In this way, the processing of checklists can be scheduled for a specific date – and a repetition interval for recurring checks can also be set.
All changes are saved temporarily on an ongoing basis and the data is stored in a central database in an audit-proof manner. The data can be exported in various formats, for example to Excel, for evaluation. A connection to common master data and reporting systems is also possible.
The Checkware Designer is a browser-based application that is part of the standard Checkware software – you can use it to create forms and checklists yourself. The form elements can be placed in a worksheet using “drag & drop”. A worksheet can be divided into several grids so that checklists can also be created that automatically adapt to the screen size. These responsive checklist templates can be filled out using the browser-based application and the Checkware app.
Checklists and forms can also be filled out offline, i.e. without an existing internet connection using the Checkware app. As soon as a network connection to the central system is available again, the checklists and data are automatically synchronized. The Checkware app is available for mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones with the Google Android and Apple iOS operating systems.

Checkware on Demand (SaaS)
As a web solution, Checkware supports all stationary and mobile devices and is available via standard browsers and the Checkware app. As the application is provided via the Internet, authorized users can use the software from any location with Internet access. This eliminates the typical implementation costs associated with initial setup. Users only pay a monthly usage fee, so no equity is tied up
Checkware on Premise
As an on-premise solution, Checkware is installed on your company servers and integrates seamlessly into your IT infrastructure. Your employees can access the checklists from their stationary and mobile devices using a standard browser or the Checkware app.
In addition, our software does not function as an “isolated solution”, but as part of the digital factory with full integration to other Edge.One products.
This allows checklist results to directly create and share additional tasks and (shift) events. Complaint logs to the QMS (Quality Management Software) are also possible. We ensure seamless integration into process control systems such as IP21/Aveva PI and others. This means that values from the process control system can be read or written to checklists. This is also possible with machine data.
