Why it matters
The difference is in what's native.
If you ship Health & Safety as a bolt-on, your teams ship compliance as an afterthought. DIFM treats H&S as core.
Native H&S
RAMS, LOTO, training and incidents are first-class — not separate apps.
Industrial scale
12 languages with RTL. Built for plants across continents.
Engineering pedigree
Designed by people who have run maintenance teams, not generic field service.
