Certificate software

GMES · Aug 24, 2017

I know there have been a few threads in the past but thought I would get some current opinions.
At the moment we do all our certs on Niceic pads by hand and it is becoming a pain so I am looking at buying some software as we do a lot of large Ind/commercial eicrs and I am sure there are better ways to end up with a limp wrist. So what is the one that is most popular at the moment, price isn't really an issue but equally not looking to spend a fortune unless it offers something really good that others don't.

Just to Add it would need to go on at least 3 laptops so something with a a multi user license.

Tysoft Easycert - allows multiple licenses and has a load of handy features like setting up templates so a lot of the cert can be prefilled

I've been using easycert but been thinking of swapping over to click software. Electrical Certification Software, NICEIC Certification Software | Clik - https://www.cliksoftware.com/products/niceic-certification-software

Is that just NICEIC Certs though? So if you're not with them you can't use it?

Thanks lads, Lee I'm an A.c. with Niccy and was talking with someone about the click software the other day, have you used it or done research yet.
Also easycert does seem to be popular, i think its about 180.00 for the pro edition so it's not out of the way at that money.

Am i also right in thinking the nic click is online only or can you use it without needing internet access, if not then that would make easycert a more appealing option.

I may be wrong but I think NIC have an online and offline setup, the online one you just pay per cert, the other is the one in the link above.

I'm in the process of make my own PDF certs - can be filled digitally but won't be much use to likes of GMES who wants to remove repetition.

I use the NIC Clik software and on the whole it's pretty good. Can also upload and download between tablet and PC.

Clik is not the online software.

The Certsure on-line certification is quite good IMO (have not used it for an EICR). They have a technical issue with the 'NICEIC Online for iPad' at the moment.

Tysoft easy cery is good once you have bought one licence additinal licences are cheaper and you can add as many as you like , it also has a shared system were you can store all your cert online so anyone of your guys can access them . You do have to pay for updates every year for each licence to keep this feature , the tech support and the updates but the software will still work without the updates , you can down load a free trial, to see if it works for you

Cheers lads, I'm edging towards easycert if I'm honest. I have been looking at the clik and think it's about 280.00 but unlimited is 2500.00 ouch, @Flanders I think I will download the free trial and take it from there.
Thanks lads for all the input.
