App-like, without the friction
Add to home screen and you're done. No app store account, no install approvals from IT, no waiting for an update review.
Built for the floor
Designed to work fast on a phone in a gym, workshop, vehicle yard or during a property visit — not just on a manager's laptop.
QR + camera built in
Scan asset tags and capture evidence photos directly inside a check, fault report or document upload.
Who the mobile PWA is for
The mobile PWA is for the people who actually do the checks — trainers on the gym floor, technicians in the workshop, drivers in the vehicle yard, property managers during a visit, and anyone doing a fire safety walkaround. If they're not sitting at a computer, they need a tool that works in their hand.
What usually goes wrong with desktop-only tools
- Checks done on paper, then typed up later. Half of them never get typed up.
- Faults remembered on the way back to the office, then misremembered or forgotten entirely.
- IT processes get in the way: "we'd love to install it, but we need an MDM policy and an app store review first."
- The desktop tool exists, but only the office uses it. The people closest to the equipment never touch the record.
How Ample Control helps
Ample Control is a progressive web app — a website that behaves like a native app once you add it to your home screen. There is no app store, no install approval and no separate codebase that lags behind the web version. Every user gets the same up-to-date Ample Control, on whatever phone or tablet they have in their pocket.
The interface is designed for one-handed use in real conditions: big tap targets, simple flows for the most common tasks (log a fault, complete a check, upload a photo), and a layout that doesn't require pinch-zoom.
Practical examples across different businesses
Gym floor
A trainer spots a fault on a rower mid-class. Between sets, they scan the QR, tap "log fault", take a photo and select "out of service". The duty manager sees it within seconds.
Workshop floor
An engineer does a pre-use check on a press by scanning its QR tag, working through a 10-item checklist on their phone, and signing it off. The record is attached to the machine before they start cutting.
Vehicle yard
A driver does a walkaround on their phone before pulling out — tyres, lights, mirrors, fluids, damage photos. If anything fails, the vehicle's status flips and the operations lead is notified before it leaves the yard.
Property visits
A property manager arrives at a flat, scans the QR by the consumer unit, runs the visit checklist, photographs the smoke alarm test and uploads the new EICR — all before leaving the property.
Fire safety walkarounds
A monthly walkaround across the building, scanning each extinguisher and emergency light, ticking off the checklist, photographing anything that needs attention. Evidence builds up without any office tidy-up afterwards.
A simple example workflow

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about how this works in Ample Control.
Is there an app to install from the app store?+
No, and you don't need one. Ample Control is a progressive web app. Open it in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen for an app-like experience — no app store account, no install approvals.
Does it work offline?+
Recent data is cached so the app keeps working in low-signal areas. Full offline check capture with later sync is on the roadmap and not promised here as already-shipped.
Does it work on iPad?+
Yes — and it's a great fit for shared site iPads used by multiple technicians or instructors during a shift.
Can it use the phone camera?+
Yes. Scan QR tags directly with the camera and attach evidence photos to checks, fault reports and documents.
What about Android and iPhone?+
Both are supported. Use any modern mobile browser to open Ample Control, then add it to your home screen for the app-like experience.
