Novara Flex Reviews & Product Details

I like the transparency in Novara Flex because I can look up any form or response I need to ensure my workers are compliant and safe. Assigning tasks is straightforward, and it boosts productivity. As a safety manager, I can see what people are doing on the job site, the tasks they have been assigned, and whether they understand what they're filling out. Senior management can also see what's going on, which helps with compliance during audits for our safety management program. I also appreciate the contractor management tool, as it ensures people we hire have their own safety protocols and facilitates communication of our safety system and policies. The compliance calendar helps schedule events and tasks for on-site personnel. I love the workflows for increasing transparency and ensuring notifications reach the right people when forms like incident forms are filled out. It's a reliable nine-step process. Also, the ease of use is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the speed of Novara Flex slower since its change from KPA. There are issues with having to wait for the app to update. The way some features load, I sometimes have to reload the page multiple times for it to work properly, which is becoming very annoying. I hope they get the coding issues fixed soon because it is becoming very cumbersome. The training modlue has also not been responding or performing as well as it did under KPA and I hope that the bacground coding that needs to happen does so soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can report from remote operations with limited connectivity and that everyone can connect to a central database. The forms are easy to use and have standard values to select, which helps me report on our data and get analytics and insights. I also like being able to reach field operators through QR codes and mobile applications. I can create flexible forms easily, including with the new AI form creator, and set up workflows that automatically route items to different people based on conditions. The widgets and reporting tools are easy to use. With the AI tools, I can replicate a paper form or give the chatbot my requirements and get a form in minutes, instead of the hours or days it used to take. From what I’m seeing, creating new forms and modifying existing ones should also be relatively easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm relatively new to Novara Flex, but it looks like having standard APIs to connect with widely used tools, such as Workday and other applications, might be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Novara Flex is its flexibility and its ability to bring multiple operational needs into a single platform. We use it to manage training, forms, documentation, employee records, and field workflows across a large, geographically dispersed workforce. The platform is configurable enough to support different departments and use cases without forcing every process into the same rigid structure.

It’s also fairly easy for frontline employees to access and complete assigned training or forms. From an administrative perspective, Flex has helped us consolidate content and gain better visibility into completion records, submissions, and compliance-related activities. Overall, it provides a practical foundation that we can keep building on as our processes continue to mature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some training setup limitations where advanced competence assurance models are concerned. Training assignments are typically following traditional compliance models and need to evolve as a more suitable LMS for organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simplicity compared to other safety management systems we have used in the past. It also works very well on phones for our employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The slowness at times can get frustrating, but typically refreshing the pages makes it speed up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how Novara Flex eliminates the hassle of paper forms and allows everything to be digital. The workflow feature is fantastic because I can assign actions and closure dates, ensuring everyone involved is on the same page throughout the process. It's especially beneficial for companies with employees in the field, as they can access the safety management system, training, documents, and forms no matter where they are. The ability to customize training specifically to our company makes it feel much more relevant and engaging. Plus, Novara Flex's flexibility allows us to make necessary adjustments ourselves without additional costs, which is a big advantage over other products we've used. The initial setup was smooth thanks to the knowledgeable partners we worked with, which helped us get up and running quickly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing I can think of Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very difficult to decide what I like "Best" about the flex platform. I will say that it is very aptly named. I have used numerous EHS platforms in the past that make you conform to their design. The Flex platform is very useful in the fact that you can design it in numerous areas to do what you want and need to be successful in your goals for compliance, internal audits, accountability, resource availability, and many more features.

There aren't many things. One change that was made recently I don't care for is the filtering of Assets. I prefer the previous iteration. I hope that this is not the direction that all filtering options will go, ex: Employees page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that we can create any type of form to collect information based on different client requirements. It also allows us to store and manage required training by contact, helping ensure everyone stays compliant and ready to work across different customer specifications.

I would like to see improvements in a few areas. For example, it would be very helpful if the QR scanner worked directly from iPads, since we use them for safety meetings and attendance tracking. I would also like more flexibility in form design, such as the ability to create spreadsheet-style tables for things like timesheets. Additionally, it would be useful to attach files directly to employee profiles instead of having to create separate trainings or requirements. Lastly, improving the workflow visibility and providing more detailed information within workflows would make the platform even more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I particularly like is how easy the system makes it to edit forms and upload large amounts of data, allowing information to be entered quickly for large groups. The form layout is very intuitive and self‑explanatory. Additionally, the ability to schedule reports to be automatically sent to designated users eliminates the need to manually run reports on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One concern I have is that the dashboard does not provide the level of detail needed to effectively manage and analyze the metrics. Certain response fields do not allow date entries, such as for follow‑ups or calendar tracking. Additionally, when pulling responses, the data must be manually added to the column fields each time, as those selections do not save.

Another challenge my team has identified is the inability to have multiple forms open and in progress at the same time. This functionality would be especially helpful when managing multiple ongoing audits concurrently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd say that the best feature of KPA EHS is that you can easily report off submitted forms. We have various scheduled reports that send out automatically to higher-level management without us having to lift a finger. In addition, we can view past responses and generate a report using our specific filters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t much I dislike about KPA, but like any system, it has a few gaps. I’d really like to see more robust reporting around the companies and projects within the software. Right now, we can filter reports and view results for specific companies or projects, which is helpful. However, it would be even more beneficial if each company and project had its own unique profile where we could see everything it’s tagged in, along with any additional details or context.

Flex allows the end user to configure the software how they want. This allows flexibility when building a safety program. Other software has rigidity and makes you conform to their style. The versatility and freedom to adjust at any time cannot be overlooked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the software now and only wish there were more IT personnel to create random request that we end users come up with. Like all users, updates and new features are always wanted sooner than later but Novara is great about listening to those wants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
