"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 and Easy-to-Use Software"
5/5
What do you like best about Novara Flex?

I love how easy Novara Flex is to use. It's incredibly versatile and can be used for many things. We keep track of a ton of equipment, and it's very easy to do so with Novara Flex. Additionally, several departments are keen to use it for various reasons, and it's very user-friendly even for those outside the HSE space. The initial setup was very easy.

What do you dislike about Novara Flex?

I think there are some simple features that can be implemented, like with fonts. But other than that, it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Safety Management, Needs Better Customization"
4/5
What do you like best about Novara Flex?

I like the forms module in Novara Flex. We've built out forms for incident reporting, good catch/near miss reporting, safety observations, safety audits, and jobsite safety analysis (JSA). We're also starting to create strategic safety planning tools for our field supervisors and project managers. Being able to build tools within Novara Flex that make safety easier for folks is key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novara Flex?

The app/website often load slowly, which causes frustration for users and adds unnecessary friction when we are trying to use this tool to make safety MORE accessible. There are also some ongoing connectivity challenges, particularly in remote areas or locations without cell coverage. This is a significant issue for our employees working on rural jobsites or on new construction where internet access is limited or unavailable. On the admin side, the platform allows some basic customization but the overlap with reporting capabilities is pretty limited, so we frequently have to pull data into other tools (Excel, Power BI) to be able to do meaningful analysis. For example, we have the ability to add important employee data to their profiles, such as their recent project manager, but we're not able to include those data points in all reporting. This results in our team needing to merge multiple sources of data. Additional flexibility in appearance and layout would also be valuable. For example, more control over charts, font colors, and form fields would improve usability and consistency. The platform is missing some well-established UI design practices that would improve usability. For example, when a required field on a form is missed, the form can't be submitted, but the error message appears in a low-contrast red text that is difficult to see. Our users often struggle to identify which field is incomplete/missing which leads to frustration and delays. 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.

"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.

"Excellent Product"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Novara Flex?

Flex makes it easy to keep track of compliance, training, and employee engagement as our company constantly grows and changes. Every employee uses Flex every day, whether from their phone or computer. It's especially helpful when our employees are out in the field and don't have access to cell service or wifi. They can use the app in offline mode and it will upload their forms later when they connect to the internet again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novara Flex?

I wish it were easier to integrate with other software we use, as some clients require extra compliance steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just some minor things here and there, and some additional bells and whistles related to workflows and widgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and Efficient for Safety and Operations Management"
4/5
What do you like best about Novara Flex?

I like the flexibility of Novara Flex. The training module is great for the metal industry because it has pre-developed training, which saves me time from having to create my own for the more basic tasks. Also, the initial setup was fairly easy to remember, and it helps with more efficient collection of data and communication of that data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novara Flex?

The workflow section could be improved, and being able to tie in training with corrective actions or follow-ups would be a big improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
