When a RAMS template is enough
Templates can help small teams standardise structure, especially when the work is simple and reviewed by a competent person.
When to move beyond templates
Move to software when revisions, signing, client review, repeat jobs, multiple trades or audit evidence become hard to manage in document and PDF files.

Zektrx helps turn repeated checks into owned actions, linked evidence and clear reporting.
