§ 01 About
Compliance proof: scanned, signed, defensible.
Hovermarks is scan-first compliance software for the assets you maintain. LOLER, fire safety, OSHA, NFPA, ANSI, all on one inspection app, with tamper-evident PDF certificates auditors and insurers can verify on a public URL. Built by BrainBoxIT Ltd in Portsmouth, UK, since 2018.
Where we came from
Hovermarks started life as TagIt, built around one idea: that a QR code stuck on an asset, plus a checklist that loaded automatically when you scanned it, was enough to replace a clipboard. Customers used it, then asked for more. Work orders. Costing. Audit-ready PDF certificates. White-label landlord portals. Azure OpenAI-assisted asset description suggestions and natural-language search.
The name “TagIt” described the first thing we did. It stopped describing the product some time ago.
Why “Hovermarks”
A mark is the proof: the signed certificate, the QR code on the asset, the green tick in the dashboard. The thing you point at when an auditor asks. Hoveris how you reach it. Fast, weightless, from anywhere. It's also a quiet nod to how modern multi-site operations actually work: not tied to a desk, not tied to a clipboard.
Hovermarksis the rebrand of an existing, paying-customer-supported product. Nothing about the data, the contracts, or the team changed. Logins, URLs, and APIs continue to work. What's new is the ambition to be the default way regulated, multi-site teams prove compliance.
Our mission
Make defensible compliance the easy path for facilities managers, fire-protection contractors, lifting-equipment examiners, manufacturers, and the regulators and insurers they answer to.
What we build
Hovermarks is a single product: Inspection. One scan-first model, one audit trail, one source of truth across every regulated workflow.
- LOLER & lifting equipment. Six-monthly thorough exams, Cat A/B defect workflow, examiner credentials captured per record, auto work orders from failed inspections.
- Fire safety. BS 5306 fire-extinguisher, BS 5839 alarms, Article 23 record-keeping, FRA templates, insurer-ready evidence packs.
- Facilities & manufacturing. Per-asset service history, conditional checklists, multi-site rollups, customer verification portal, append-only audit log.
- OSHA / NFPA / ANSI(US). 1910.179 crane, B30 rigging, 1910.178 forklift, NFPA 25 sprinkler — same app, region-aware templates.
Used today by facilities, fire-protection contractors, lifting-equipment examiners, and SMB manufacturers across the UK and US.
Sister brand
The same team builds Filovera , a Digital Product Passport platform for SMB textile manufacturers preparing for the EU ESPR mandate. Filovera is a separate brand on its own domain (filovera.com / filovera.co.uk) but shares infrastructure and the same UK-based team. If you arrived looking for textile product passports instead of asset inspections, that's where to go.

§ 02 Principles
Built around the inspector
Every feature gets stress-tested against “does it make a Tuesday-afternoon inspection faster?” If the answer is no, it doesn't ship.
Audit-defensible by default
Tamper-evident hash-chained log, public verification URL on every certificate, no “enterprise add-on” gate. The proof layer is the product.
Multi-tenant from line zero
Hard isolation is the architecture, not a security policy you write later. One customer's data is never visible to another. Enforced at the database layer.
Ship when ready, not when scheduled
No keynote-driven roadmaps. AI gets shipped when there's a real governed product behind it. Compliance customers prefer boring and predictable.
Stop chasing paperwork.
Start proving compliance.
Tag your first asset, run your first inspection, and pull a signed evidence pack, all on your free 14-day trial. No credit card required.
