When to choose Pervidi
The whole operation on one platform
Pervidi is the right choice when inspections, maintenance and safety need to live in one system that your team controls, connected to your ERP on your terms or running without one.
You want one platform for inspections, asset management, maintenance, safety and incident reporting, not a field layer on top of another system
You need a full CMMS with asset lifecycle tracking, preventive maintenance and parts inventory, with or without an ERP behind it
Your ERP is SAP, Oracle JD Edwards or something else entirely, and you want an integration built around how your data actually works
You want AI comparison reports across inspection runs and photo recommendations that strengthen evidence quality
Cloud or on-premises deployment: your infrastructure, your choice
You need safety proximity alerts, toolbox talks and incident management alongside pre-starts and Take 5 checks
You operate internationally and need multi-language support or a branded customer portal for your own clients
You want a dedicated support person, quick implementation and optional 24x7 coverage across AU and NA time zones
When to consider Obzervr
A frontline layer for ERP-led maintenance
Obzervr is built for maintenance teams in mining and heavy industry whose planning, asset records and inventory already live in an ERP such as SAP, and who want to digitise how that work is executed and supervised in the field.
SAP EAM is your established system of record and you want a pre-built connector certified for S/4HANA Cloud
Your operations run Pronto or Dynamics 365 and you prefer an off-the-shelf connector to a custom integration
Your main goal is digitising frontline execution of existing ERP work orders, with maintenance planning and inventory staying in the ERP
Your operation is focused on mining, rail, ports or similar heavy industry maintenance
Common questions
Pervidi vs Obzervr: FAQ
Does Pervidi work offline without internet connectivity?
Yes. Pervidi is a true offline native app for iOS and Android. Field teams can complete inspections, capture photos, raise corrective actions, close out work orders and run safety checks with zero connectivity, and everything syncs automatically when the device reconnects. Obzervr also supports offline data capture in its Frontline app. The difference is scope: with Pervidi, the whole platform works offline, not only the ERP work order layer.
Can Pervidi integrate with SAP, Oracle, or other ERP systems?
Yes. Pervidi builds custom integrations to SAP, Oracle JD Edwards and practically any other system with an API, shaped around your data model rather than a fixed connector. Obzervr offers pre-built connectors for SAP EAM (ECC6 and S/4HANA), Pronto and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Pervidi can also run as your complete CMMS with no ERP at all, which Obzervr's ERP-centred model is not designed for.
What AI features does Pervidi offer compared to Obzervr?
Pervidi AI generates comparison reports across inspection runs to show what changed between visits, recommends photo evidence based on findings, analyses audio notes, and surfaces anomalies for predictive maintenance. Obzervr's published features centre on automations, a flow designer and analytics dashboards; it does not publicly specify AI comparison reports or AI photo recommendations.
Is Pervidi available on-premises, or is it cloud-only?
Pervidi is available as a cloud platform or as an on-premises deployment on your own infrastructure. On-premises suits defence, government, critical infrastructure and mining operations with strict data sovereignty or IT control requirements. Obzervr describes a cloud platform hosted on Microsoft Azure and does not publicly specify an on-premises option.
Where is Pervidi's support team based?
Pervidi's support team is based in Melbourne, Australia, and every account is assigned a dedicated support person who knows your configuration. Optional 24x7 support covers both Australian and North American time zones, which suits operations running round-the-clock shifts or sites overseas. Pervidi has more than 25 years of industry experience. Obzervr is based in Brisbane and was founded in 2015.
Does Pervidi support multiple languages for international operations?
Yes. Pervidi supports multiple languages, so crews on international sites can complete inspections and checks in their own language while reporting stays consistent. An optional branded customer portal is also available for contractors and service providers who share inspection results with their clients. Obzervr does not publicly specify multi-language support.
Do I need SAP or another ERP to use Pervidi?
No. Pervidi includes its own asset register and lifecycle tracking, CMMS and work orders, preventive maintenance scheduling, and parts and inventory management. You can run it standalone, or connect it to SAP, Oracle or another ERP when you need to. Obzervr is positioned as a frontline execution layer that syncs with your ERP or CMMS, with inventory managed in that system.
Is Pervidi suitable for mining and heavy industry?
Yes. Mining is one of Pervidi's core industries, covering mobile plant pre-starts, Take 5 style safety checks, fixed plant inspections, maintenance and incident reporting. Pervidi also adds safety proximity alerts and toolbox talks, and serves construction, utilities, defence, government and other industries from the same platform.
