The basics.

What Work Permit Intelligence is, who runs it, and what permit-to-work means.

What is Work Permit Intelligence?

Work Permit Intelligence is permit-to-work software for live industrial sites. It runs the permit office on one board: raise, assess and approve permits, catch simultaneous-operations (SIMOPS) clashes before they reach the field, and keep isolations, briefings and competency in the same system the site runs on. It runs at wpi.stomwerk.com as part of stomwerk projekt.

Who uses Work Permit Intelligence?

Owners and operators of live plants, and the EPCMs and principal contractors coordinating brownfield work, shutdowns and construction sites where many employers work side by side. Permit coordinators run the board; supervisors and crews raise and act on permits.

What is permit-to-work (PTW)?

Permit-to-work is the formal control that authorises high-risk work - hot work, confined-space entry, line breaks, lifting and more - only after the hazards are assessed and controls are in place. Work Permit Intelligence runs that control digitally, and adds clash detection across every permit on site.

Can we use our own permit types and forms?

Yes. Permit types, controls and the clash rules that apply between them are set up for your site during provisioning, so the board reflects how your site actually works rather than a generic template.

Is Work Permit Intelligence the same as Change Intelligence?

No. Work Permit Intelligence governs work on live sites - permits, SIMOPS clashes and isolations. Change Intelligence governs project change - notices, impact assessment and approvals. Both are stomwerk projekt products and can be used together, but they solve different problems.

SIMOPS and safety.

Clash control, the critical-clash hard block, the risk matrix, isolations, briefings and competency.

What is SIMOPS clash control?

SIMOPS - simultaneous operations - clash control detects permits whose work overlaps in time and place in combinations that must not coexist, for example hot work near flammable exposure or confined-space entry. Critical combinations block approval outright until they are resolved; lesser ones surface as warnings during planning.

What counts as a "critical clash", and what happens?

A critical clash is a combination of overlapping work that must never coexist on site. When one is detected, approval is hard-blocked until it is resolved - the permit cannot be approved around it. Lesser overlaps are raised as warnings for the coordinator to manage. The block applies even when the two permits belong to different companies.

Can clash rules be configured for our site?

Yes. Which combinations hard-block and which only warn is configured to your site's rules and set up at provisioning, so clash control reflects your operation rather than a fixed list.

What is the 5x5 risk matrix?

Each permit carries a 5x5 risk assessment - likelihood against severity - so risk is scored consistently and visible on the permit and the board. It sits alongside signature capture at the point of work and the full audit trail behind it.

How do isolations work?

Energy isolations are recorded and linked to the permits that depend on them, so a permit that relies on an isolation is tied to it rather than tracked on a separate list. The link keeps isolations and the work they protect in one place.

How are toolbox briefings and competency handled?

Toolbox briefings are captured against the work, and workforce competency is checked before work starts - both on the same board as the permits, so the coordinator is not chasing paper across systems.

Field operations.

Verifying permits at the workface, the live site map, mobile use and permit renewal.

How do field crews verify a permit?

Every permit carries a signed QR code. Anyone on site can scan it with a phone and confirm the permit is valid, current and what it covers - no login and no account required.

What is the site map and permit footprints?

Live permits and clashes are drawn on your site plan, with each permit's footprint placed where the work actually is. It replaces the whiteboard and the marked-up plan with one live map the whole site works from.

Does it work on a phone in the field?

Yes. The board and the map run in a phone browser, and QR verification is designed for the workface, so supervisors and crews can check and act on permits where the work is - not only from the permit office.

How does permit renewal or carry-over work?

Permits can be renewed or carried into the next shift, with a strict re-confirmation step so nothing rolls forward unchecked. The controls and the clash checks are re-applied rather than assumed.

Contractors, access and data.

How many employers share one site safely, how you get set up, AI, and where the data lives.

How does contractor confidentiality work?

Contractor visibility is membership-scoped: each contractor sees its own permits and work, not other contractors' details, while the site team sees everything. Clash control still applies across all work on site - a clash blocks approval even when the two permits belong to different companies.

How do we get access to Work Permit Intelligence?

Work Permit Intelligence is provisioned per organisation rather than self-serve. Start a conversation or write to [email protected], and Stomwerk sets up your organisation, sites and first users. Plans are published at stomwerk.com/pricing.

Where is our data hosted?

In the EU. The application and database run in Frankfurt, and Stomwerk AB is a Swedish company operating under Swedish law and the GDPR. The Data Processing Agreement and subprocessor register are on the legal shelf.

Is there an AI feature, and can we turn it off?

AI assistance is optional everywhere it appears, and every project has an off switch; permits are always assessed and approved by people. AI inference runs through Anthropic's Claude API under terms that prohibit training on your data, with the application and your data in the EU. Where a project brings in third-party (contractor) AI, it has its own toggle and spend cap.

What does Work Permit Intelligence cost?

Plans are per organisation with users included, published at stomwerk.com/pricing under projekt. Provisioning and first users are arranged when you start a conversation.
