Audit trail software records important actions against business information. It can help a manager understand who approved a record, when a value changed and how a document reached its current state.
Explore our custom software development services to discuss how this could fit your business.
Decide which events need recording

During our free 15-minute software review, we look at your main issues, the processes that require a lot of manual work and what would best fit your company. A typical form, record or example of a repeated task helps make that conversation practical.
Questions and answers
Is an audit trail the same as a backup?
No. An audit trail explains recorded actions. A backup supports recovery of information. Your system may need both for different reasons.
Can we see the previous value of an edited field?
That can be included. It must be specified because a simple activity log may record that an edit happened without keeping the original value.
How much would this cost?
Cost is an important part of the decision. We price the project according to the work required to build your agreed solution. Features, user roles, connections to other systems and testing all affect that work, so we discuss the requirements before quoting.
Who owns the finished software?
Our clients own the software, source code and their app store accounts where an app is part of the project. Ownership and handover are set out in the agreement. Any external services or licensed components have their own terms.
