KPA EHS review: Novara Flex for oil and gas teams

Compare the work you need to do

Novara publishes configuration tools and offline mobile workflows. Customization and offline access are shared capabilities, so the useful comparison is your exact workflow and service scope.

Price the same scope before comparing totals

Request a quote for the selected Flex package. Confirm license units, service fees and rollout milestones in writing.

Starter $149/month for 50 field records; Standard $299/month for 150; Pro $599/month for unlimited field records. All include unlimited users. These are monthly-billing prices; annual options and eligibility are on the pricing page. Check current BasinCheck pricing.

A comparable first-year total includes the subscription for the required seats or record volume, implementation, data migration, training, integrations and contracted support. Mark an unquoted item as unknown, rather than assigning a guessed fee. Ask for renewal pricing separately.

Rollout time depends on the agreed scope, data and acceptance tests. Ask both vendors to commit to milestones for your pilot. This page does not establish that either vendor deploys faster.

Which team fits each product?

Keep Novara Flex (formerly KPA Flex) on the shortlist when

Teams combining configurable EHS operations, safety training and a wider program rollout.

Consider BasinCheck when

Your priority is getting field inspections, incidents and corrective actions into one working process, with direct discussion of scoped changes. Bring your own checklist and report requirements to a demo. Compare the proposed delivery plan with the other vendor’s offer.

Choose a wider platform when your requirements include full occupational health, environmental, quality or sustainability programs. Configurable templates do not establish that BasinCheck covers those disciplines.

Use a real workflow as the acceptance test

• Configure one real inspection and its approval process.
• Test photo capture, task assignment and sync after losing connectivity.
• Request the included training catalog, reporting outputs and change process in writing.

For a customization request, record when the vendor accepted the scope, the quoted cost, the promised delivery date and the actual accepted result. Compare the same change in both products. An easy template edit and a new integration are different jobs.

Before switching

Inventory templates, open actions, incident records, photos, assets and retention obligations. Test one exported record and its evidence before importing a full history. Agree field mapping, permissions, migration cost and rollback. A successful pilot does not prove that every historic record transfers automatically.

• Mobile and offline support

Official product and pricing pages establish published scope, not measured usability or implementation performance. Unconfirmed capabilities are questions for a demo, not missing-feature claims. Prices, package boundaries and availability can change.
