Novara Flex Reviews & Product Details

Novara Flex — EHS & Operational Risk Management Software for Hazardous Industries What is Novara Flex? Novara Flex is a cloud-based EHS (Environmental, Health & Safety) and operational risk management software platform built for mid-market and SMB companies in regulated, hazardous industries. Flex is built for operations and safety teams that manage complex compliance requirements, replacing disconnected spreadsheets and manual processes with a single system of record. Flex gives safety teams one place to report incidents, run inspections and audits, manage corrective actions, track training and certifications, and produce the leading-indicator reporting leadership keeps asking for, whether on desktop, or in the field on mobile. Who is Novara Flex for? Flex is purpose-built for safety and operations teams in regulated, high-hazard verticals. Typical buyers are EHS Directors and Safety Managers who own TRIR, DART, recordables, and audit readiness, alongside operations and finance leaders who care about uptime, insurance cost (EMR), and risk exposure. - Manufacturing: OSHA recordkeeping, machine guarding, lockout/tagout (LOTO), near-miss programs - Construction: Multi-site inspections, JHAs/JSAs, subcontractor and contractor safety qualification, and EMR improvement to stay bid-ready - Oil & Gas: Process Safety Management (PSM), permits, and high-hazard work - Utilities: Field crew safety, contractor risk, and distributed-site compliance - Mining: MSHA compliance, inspections, and hazard tracking Flex is also a strong fit for transportation, agriculture, municipalities, and other operations that live with OSHA and EPA requirements. What can you do with Novara Flex? - Incident Management: Capture incidents, injuries, and near-misses as they happen, run root-cause investigations, and assign corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to close the loop. Build and maintain OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 logs and meet electronic (ITA) submission requirements. - Inspections & Audits: Build custom mobile checklists and audit forms tailored to your sites. QR codes pull up equipment, employee, and inspection history on location. Schedule recurring inspections and track every finding to resolution. - Safety Training (LMS): Assign and track training and certifications, monitor completion and expirations, and build custom courses tied to the same system of record as your incidents and inspections. - Chemical & SDS Management: Maintain Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and chemical inventories, label compliantly, and give field crews mobile access to hazard information anywhere. - Contractor Risk: Prequalify and monitor third-party and contractor safety, which is essential for construction, utilities, and oil & gas. - Analytics & Reporting: Configurable dashboards turn raw safety data into the leading and lagging indicators leadership wants, TRIR, DART, near-miss rates, training completion, and open corrective actions. - ESG & Environmental Reporting: Track environmental and sustainability metrics for disclosure and permit reporting. How is Novara Flex different from other EHS software? Most EHS platforms are either enterprise suites that are slow and expensive to deploy, or training tools with thin operational features bolted on. Novara Flex is right-sized for 200–5,000-employee operators that need full EHS operations without a dedicated system administrator, making it a practical alternative for teams that have outgrown spreadsheets or find other platforms overbuilt for their scale. - Right-sized for mid-market and SMB: a practical alternative to enterprise suites that can feel overbuilt, slow to implement, or priced for the Fortune 500. - Built for field adoption: the number-one reason EHS software fails is that field crews won't use it. The Flex mobile app (GPS, camera, push notifications, and offline access) is built for the people actually doing the work. - Operational, not just compliance: Flex manages operational risk end to end, not just a compliance checklist. - Fast time-to-value: implementations measured in weeks, not quarters, with hands-on configuration and support. Most customers are fully configured and live within 4-8 weeks. What results do Novara Flex customers see? - Up to 86% reduction in recordable injuries - Lower workers' compensation and claims costs, with measurable EMR improvement - Faster, audit-ready reporting and stronger regulatory compliance - Higher field engagement and a more consistent safety culture across sites Why teams choose Novara - 40+ years of EHS expertise and in-house compliance specialists behind the platform - Highly configurable forms, workflows, and API integrations (including Procore), the system adapts to your processes, not the other way around - Enterprise-grade security: role-based permissions, audit trails, and automatic backups - Hands-on implementation plus the Novara Connect customer community for shared best practices Common questions about Novara Flex - Is Novara Flex good for OSHA compliance? Yes. Flex digitizes OSHA 300/300A/301 recordkeeping, incident investigations, inspections, and corrective actions, and supports electronic ITA submission. Safety teams can manage the full compliance lifecycle from an initial incident log through root-cause investigation and regulatory reporting in one platform. - Does Novara Flex have a mobile app for field crews? Yes, with offline access, photo capture, and GPS so crews can log incidents and inspections without connectivity. The app is designed for frontline workers in the field, not office users, and works with or without cell service, which is common in construction, oil and gas, and utilities environments. - What is a good EHS/Safety Management Software alternative for mid-market companies? Novara Flex is built specifically for mid-market and SMB operators that want full EHS functionality with faster deployment and stronger field adoption than enterprise suites. Unlike platforms scaled for Fortune 500 organizations, Flex is configured and live in weeks, with pricing and implementation support designed for teams without dedicated system administrators. - What industries use Novara Flex? Manufacturing, construction, oil & gas, utilities, mining, and other regulated, hazardous industries. Flex is also used in transportation, agriculture, and municipalities where OSHA and EPA requirements apply. See how Novara Flex fits your safety program — request a personalized demo.

"Novara Streamlines Incident Investigations with an Easy, Efficient Mobile Workflow"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Novara Flex?

Novara is an easy-to-use application for end users. It does require some initial setup, but once everything is in place, it’s very straightforward to use and helps streamline manual entry for tasks like incident investigations that might otherwise take hours to type up on a computer. With the app, you can enter information and add photos directly into the investigation form while you’re out gathering the data, which makes the process feel much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novara Flex?

As with any software program, there are limitations. At times, those limitations keep us from viewing the data the way we want. The good news is that the NOVARA team is very good about listening to our feedback and helping us find workarounds until something can be developed that works better for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Novara Flex solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flex is helping us streamline data across our organization. We have multiple sites with different classifications and a variety of tasks. With Flex, we’re able to standardize our forms across all worksites so everyone is using the same form, while still being able to filter by site for site-specific information. This saves an immense amount of time and reduces manual transactions, many of which we can now automate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are still dealing with some slow load times but the Novara team seems to have prioritized this in their development roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy for Field Teams, but OSHA Reporting Falls Short"

3/5

What do you like best about Novara Flex?

I like Novara Flex’s ease of use and availability for field employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novara Flex?

I can’t generate OSHA logs from the incident form we’re using now. I’d like to integrate Novara Flex with other tools, but I’m not sure where to start or which platform to use. I’m also not fully aware of what Novara Flex is capable of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Customizable, User-Friendly Form Powerhouse"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Novara Flex?

I like that Novara Flex is super customizable and easy to use, making it simple to create new forms and put them in place. This user-friendly platform really stands out for safety management software and is great overall. The initial setup was super simple, thanks to our implementation manager, Victoria, who was awesome and had us up and running in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novara Flex?

Oh, just little tiny things here and there that would make the workflow a little bit easier. The website can run a little bit slow sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Platform with Mobile Excellence"

5/5

What do you like best about Novara Flex?

I love the mobile aspect of Novara Flex. I've used other products that claimed to be mobile-friendly, but Novara Flex truly is. It's also customizable, allowing us to edit an out-of-the-box software to fit our needs without having to pay for additional customization. With a fleet of 1000 remote workers visiting job sites daily, it's invaluable for ensuring they have their credentials accessible via the app. If a safety incident occurs, it can be captured and shared immediately. The software also helps us manage and document preventative maintenance, corrective actions, investigations, and inspections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novara Flex?

I think Novara Flex could improve with better dashboard widgets and a wider variety of safety metrics and stats to report, like days since the last OSHA case or first aid rates. A trailing 12-month TRIR would be nice too. I also find it annoying that when assigning a course, it defaults to send to everyone instead of no one, which seems like a small thing that could be fixed with development. Another issue is there's no forms search function on the App even though it's available on the desktop version. Lastly, an integration with 3rd party qualifiers like Avetta and ISNet would be nice.

"Easy to Use and Customizable, but Needs Faster Reports, More AI, and Integrations"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Novara Flex?

The system is very easy to use with a simple interface, but can also be pretty customizable at the same time. Training and form reports are just a couple clicks away, or you can create a widget on your dashboard to see what you need the second you log in. If you need any help, customer support or your Client Success Manager will definitely be able to assist you. We use Forms and Trainings the most and have been able to achieve a lot with the features that the platform has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novara Flex?

Although it is something on the roadmap, we have not seen a lot of AI introduced on the site. We are hoping to see some soon.

For us, the site can sometimes be a little slow to load reports or the information on an employee profile.

We don't see or use a lot of integrations with Flex - whether it be in the Flex site or on other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Novara Flex solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it for all of our safety training. It is easy to set up a group of trainings for employees to take when they are onboarding. The system allows for them to be automatically assigned when the profile is created. Additionally, we have other trainings that employees take every quarter. All we had to do was set the up with the assignment criteria and it is now on autopilot for us each year.

We also house the majority of our Forms in Flex. Whether it be safety, payroll, operations... you can do a lot with Forms and customize them as much as you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
