The Solution

Following the success of a previous Controlled Document Solution implemented by Valto, Thorlux partnered with us once again to digitise its safety reporting processes. The objective was to develop a centralised system to manage the full lifecycle of incidents, accidents, and non-conformances, from reporting and investigation through to root cause analysis and effectiveness reviews. We conducted remote workshops with the Thorlux team to gather requirements and review existing workflows. Using this insight, we built a Power Apps solution, adapting it specifically for incident and non-conformance management.

The app was configured with multi-stage workflows, automated email notifications, and role-based assignments to ensure the right people were alerted at the right time. We also built in flexibility so that roles and notification rules could be updated dynamically as the business evolved. Throughout the process, we worked closely with the Thorlux team to test and refine the system through extensive user acceptance testing (UAT), accommodating feedback and change requests as requirements shifted.

The result was a comprehensive, user-friendly Power App that has significantly improved how Thorlux manages safety and compliance. The organisation has moved from a fragmented, paper-based system to a digital platform that streamlines communication, improves traceability, and enhances accountability at every stage of the process. Automated notifications ensure that incidents are addressed quickly, and the app’s flexibility means it can evolve with Thorlux’s needs over time.

Staff now have a clear, centralised way to report and track safety issues, making it easier to take corrective action and monitor effectiveness. The project has received positive feedback from across the business and has led to multiple follow-on requests for further enhancements. Thorlux plans to continue building on this foundation, exploring new automation and integration opportunities to further streamline operations and support continuous improvement in safety and compliance.
