iAuditor alternative for RAMS

iAuditor is one of the most widely used inspection apps in safety, and plenty of teams already run their safety checklists inside it, so reaching for it when RAMS comes up is a natural move. This page is a straight comparison to help you decide whether it's the right tool for that job, or whether a purpose-built alternative is worth the switch.

AI Form Generation

Describe the form you need in plain language, or upload an existing PDF, Word or Excel document. Storm builds it as a structured digital template with the right fields, sections and workflow attached, and you edit it before you publish.

AI Form Fill

Capture what you see and say, and Storm fills the form for you. The details land in the right fields automatically, so a complete record exists the moment the work is done.

Works on site

Built for gloves, cabs, and screen protectors. Captures inputs offline and processes in the background. No waiting on the field.

You stay in control

Storm never commits a record on its own. Every output is a draft for human review. Admins control what Storm can write to.

How Dashpivot does [the job]

Three steps, and you own the record at the end of all of them. Set the RAMS up once, run and sign it on site, and keep every version filed against the job it belongs to.

  1. Step 1

    Set the RAMS Up Once

    Build your RAMS with the hazards, risk scores, controls and method steps your work needs, or start from a free template and adjust it. It becomes the form every job runs from.

    • [Optional. The routes in, one per line, if there is more than one way. Bold the route, then a short qualifier. Delete if there is only one path.]
  2. Step 2

    Run and Sign It On Site

    Fill it on any device, offline if the site has no signal. Storm can draft the first version from the work scope, and the crew signs onto it before the job starts.

    • [Optional. What gets captured, one per line. Storm is a line in this list, never the heading.]
  3. Step 3

    Keep the Signed Record

    Every RAMS is filed against its job and date, versioned and audit ready. Export it to PDF, email it to the client, and it stays yours after the job closes.

    • [Optional. What the record carries, one per line.]

What Dashpivot Does Not Replace

Dashpivot runs the RAMS process and holds the record. It doesn't decide whether your controls are adequate, and it isn't a legal sign-off. A competent person still reviews the hazards and signs the method as safe for the job in front of them.

What Dashpivot Does for RAMS Today

What ships today, and nothing that doesn't:

  • Build RAMS and method statement templates with hazards, risk scoring and controls
  • Draft the first version with Storm from the work scope, then edit it
  • Sign the crew onto the RAMS on site, on any device, offline
  • Keep every RAMS in one register, versioned and audit ready
  • Export to PDF and email it to the client or principal contractor

Where Dashpivot Stops

The honest gaps, and we'd rather you know them now:

  • Decide whether a control is adequate. A competent person owns that call
  • Act as legal or regulatory sign-off on your RAMS
  • Replace a dedicated estimating, accounting or design tool

iAuditor is an inspection and audit app. A RAMS is a structured method statement, and building one is a different job from running a checklist, which is what this comparison sets out.

  • Columns: Capability | Dashpivot | iAuditor
  • Structured RAMS with hazards, risk scoring and method steps | Yes, purpose-built | Inspection and audit templates, not a method statement
  • Conditional logic across a long document | Yes | Limited
  • Output beyond a flat PDF | Yes, live records and exports | PDF-focused
  • On-site crew sign-on to the RAMS | Yes | Inspection sign-off
  • One register of RAMS across jobs and subcontractors | Yes | Inspection-oriented
  • Storm drafts the first version from the work scope | Yes | No

Where the Two Actually Differ

The differences that matter for RAMS come down to document structure, output format and how the register is kept. These aren't marginal gaps, they're the reason teams end up with a RAMS that's technically completed but practically rejected.

  • - Dashpivot is purpose-built for method statements with hazards, risk scoring and controls; iAuditor uses inspection and audit templates that weren't designed for that structure
  • - Dashpivot lets Storm draft the first version of a RAMS from the work scope; iAuditor has no equivalent for method statement drafting
  • - Dashpivot keeps every RAMS in one register, versioned and filed against the job across sites and subcontractors; iAuditor is oriented around individual inspection records
  • - Dashpivot exports to formats beyond a flat PDF; iAuditor's output is PDF-focused, which creates friction when engineers need structured data

Where iAuditor Is the Better Choice

iAuditor has a genuinely strong free tier, a huge install base and a simple setup for templated safety checklists. If RAMS is a small part of what you need and you're already running inspections in iAuditor, the switching cost may not be worth it.

  • - Your team's primary need is mobile safety inspections and audits, and RAMS is occasional rather than a core workflow
  • - You're a small team on a tight budget and the free tier covers what you need without hitting the per-seat cost wall
  • - You need fast, familiar checklist deployment and your principal contractor accepts PDF output without question

How Teams Move From iAuditor

Nobody moves every RAMS at once. You decide whether it's worth it, bring one job across, then widen out once a crew has signed onto a live one.

  1. Step 1

    Decide

    If your team mostly runs inspections and audits and rarely writes a full RAMS, iAuditor may be enough. Move when you need a structured method statement with hazards, controls and on-site sign-on, not an inspection checklist that exports to PDF.

  2. Step 2

    Convert

    Bring one job's RAMS across. Rebuild it as a Dashpivot form, or start from the free RAMS template and add your hazards and method steps. Word and PDF documents can ride along while you switch.

  3. Step 3

    Pilot

    Run it live on one job. The crew signs onto the RAMS on site, and you keep exporting the PDF you send the client, so nothing you depend on switches off while you test it.

  4. Step 4

    Roll Out

    Once one crew has run a live RAMS end to end, add the rest of your jobs and subcontractors. Every RAMS lands in one register, and the visibility gap closes.
