Compliance & Warranty Lifecycle Platform

The compliance record that stays with every installation.

CertTrace connects installation records, certification, manufacturer warranties, approvals and callbacks in one continuous lifecycle record for electrical contractors.

Initially built for UK electrical contractors installing EV chargepoints.

Certificates, notifications and grant documentation stored in one place.

Stored

Warranty

Manufacturer-specific warranty rules evaluated and expiry tracked automatically.

Tracked

Compliance

Scheme registrations, approvals and standards changes monitored continuously.

Monitored

Alerts

Warranty expiry, approval lapses and standards amendments generate timely alerts.

Alerted

Callback

Years later — search the address, see the full history. Engineer, brand, warranty, fault log.

Resolved

UK Cloud Hosting

Append-Only Audit Trail

Role-Based Access

Versioned Rule Library

Secure Document Storage

The job doesn't end when the installation is complete.

CertTrace keeps the installation record connected throughout its full lifecycle — from day of commissioning to years of ongoing compliance.

The Problem

Critical records fragment across disconnected systems.

After an installation is complete, certificates, manufacturer warranties, installer approvals, scheme records, grant documentation and callback information are scattered across entirely different systems — with no single thread connecting them.

Certificates Manufacturer Portals Scheme Records Grant Documents Email Threads Spreadsheets Callback Logs

CertTrace creates one continuous digital installation record that connects every element of the lifecycle — so nothing is lost when it matters most.

One continuous record

Installation details, certificates, grants, warranties, approvals and callbacks — all in one place.

Works alongside your existing tools

CertTrace is not a certificate platform, job-management system or charger monitor. It complements what you already use.

Searchable years later

Find any installation by address — engineer, brand, warranty status and full callback history instantly accessible.

12 capabilities across four lifecycle stages.

Every capability is built around a single principle: keep the installation record alive from commissioning through the full lifecycle.

Unified Installation Record

All installation details — location, equipment, engineer, commissioning date — captured in a single structured record.

Certificate & Notification Store

Certificates and notifications attached directly to the installation record, eliminating email and folder chaos.

Grant Documentation Vault

Grant application and approval documentation stored against the installation it relates to — auditable and retrievable.

Multi-Brand Warranty Engine

Evaluates manufacturer-specific rules for warranty entitlement — covering brand, model, duration, registration and installer approval.

Commissioning-Date Validation

Validates and locks the commissioning date — the anchor for warranty calculation, expiry and rule evaluation.

Warranty Expiry Alerts

Automated alerts as warranty milestones approach — giving contractors time to act before entitlement is lost.

Scheme Registration Tracker

Tracks competent-person scheme registrations and flags gaps or renewals required to maintain compliance.

Manufacturer Approval Tracking

Monitors installer-level manufacturer approvals, ensuring any lapses that affect warranty are surfaced immediately.

Standards & Amendment Alerts

Tracks changes to relevant electrical standards and amendments, alerting contractors to compliance implications.

Callback & Fault Correlation

Callback and fault records linked to the original installation — building a complete history for informed diagnosis and resolution.

Homeowner Verification Portal

Homeowners can access relevant installation information — certificate details, warranty status, installer identity — via a secure portal.

Portfolio & Brand Reporting

Contractor-level reporting across installation portfolio — warranty statuses, approval positions, compliance summaries and brand mix.

The Warranty Rule Engine

Each manufacturer has its own warranty rules — and they change over time. The Warranty Rule Engine evaluates the exact rule set applicable at the point of commissioning, so historical installations are never affected by later rule changes.

Versioned by design. Historical installations retain the rule version that was applicable when they were commissioned — ensuring the warranty assessment remains accurate and auditable years later.

Frequently asked questions.

Clear answers. No ambiguity.

What is CertTrace?

CertTrace is a compliance and warranty lifecycle platform for UK electrical contractors. It creates one continuous digital installation record covering installation details, certificates, grant documentation, manufacturer warranties, approvals, compliance requirements, standards changes, callback history and homeowner verification — connected throughout the full lifecycle of each installation.

Who is it for?

CertTrace is designed for UK electrical contractors — sole traders through to multi-engineer businesses and group operations. The initial focus is on EV chargepoint installers, where the complexity of manufacturer warranties, scheme registrations and grant documentation is particularly acute.

Does it replace my certificate software?

No. CertTrace is not a certificate production platform. It stores and links certificates — but it does not generate them. It is designed to work alongside your existing certificate software, not replace it.

Does it replace my job-management software?

No. CertTrace does not handle quoting, scheduling, invoicing or job management. It is focused on the compliance and warranty lifecycle record that begins at the point of installation and continues indefinitely. It works alongside existing job-management tools.

Does CertTrace monitor chargers?

No. CertTrace is not a charger monitoring or IoT platform. It does not connect to chargepoints or read live operational data. It manages the compliance and warranty lifecycle record — not real-time device telemetry.

How does the warranty engine work?

The Warranty Rule Engine evaluates manufacturer-specific rules for each installation — including brand, model, warranty duration, commissioning date, registration requirements, installer approval status and any exceptions or downgrade conditions. Crucially, the rule version applicable at the time of commissioning is retained with the record — so historical installations are never affected by later rule changes.

Can homeowners access their installation information?

Yes. The Homeowner Verification Portal gives homeowners controlled access to their relevant installation information — including certificate details, warranty status and installer identity. An optional white-label version is available as an add-on for contractors who want to present it under their own brand.

Is CertTrace only for EV chargepoint installations?

Initially, yes. CertTrace is built first for UK electrical contractors installing EV chargepoints, where the warranty, scheme and compliance landscape is particularly complex. The platform is designed to expand across electrical installation types over time.

How much does it cost?

CertTrace is priced on a flat monthly subscription per business — not per user. Plans start at £34/month for sole traders, £89/month for small teams (2–5 engineers), £229/month for multi-engineer businesses (6–20 engineers), and £495/month for groups (21+ engineers). Optional add-ons include the White-label Homeowner Portal (£45/month) and Assisted Migration (£295 one-off).

Is pricing per user?

No. Pricing is per business. Each plan tier is defined by the number of engineers in the business — but you pay one monthly subscription for the business, not a separate fee per individual user account.

Can historical records be migrated into CertTrace?

Yes. The Assisted Migration add-on (£295 one-off) covers the service to migrate historical installation records into CertTrace. This is available as an optional add-on for businesses who want their existing portfolio brought into the platform.

Is data stored in the UK?

CertTrace is designed for UK cloud hosting and data residency. The platform includes role-based access control, an append-only audit trail and secure document storage.

Is CertTrace currently ISO 27001 certified?

No. ISO 27001 certification and Cyber Essentials accreditation are on the CertTrace roadmap — not yet obtained. The platform is being built with ISO 27001 readiness in mind, and these certifications are planned as the business scales.
