What does the Control of Contractors module solve?

Without control over external contractors, a facility faces safety risk and regulatory non-compliance. Stowlog digitalises contractor management and the permit-to-work process so every third party is checked before they work.

What does the permit-to-work workflow cover?

In Stowlog, the full permit lifecycle is covered: a contractor requests a permit, it is reviewed and approved, and it is tracked through to closure, all in one workflow.

Can contractors submit their own permit requests?

Yes. In Stowlog, contractors submit permit-to-work requests themselves, which your team then reviews and approves in the same system, so requests are not chased over email and paper.

How does it keep a contractor compliant?

Stowlog does not clear a contractor until documentation, induction and the permit are all in order. The checks happen up front, replacing slow paper verification at the gate.

Is there an audit trail of every permit?

Yes. Stowlog tracks every request, review and approval, so each permit is auditable from submission to closure, which is exactly what an ISPS or HSSE audit asks for.

Does it connect with the TOS and our systems?

Yes. Stowlog connects to whatever Terminal Operating System you already run through its open API, so contractor and permit data work alongside your operation. There is no integration project for your IT team.

What types of work can the permits cover?

Stowlog handles permits for the high-risk activities a terminal manages, such as hot work, working at height and confined-space entry, each with its own checks before approval.

Can we see every active permit at once?

Yes. Stowlog gives supervisors a live view of every open permit across the facility, so it is clear what work is authorised, and where, at any moment.
