Pervidi vs ProntoForms

ProntoForms rebranded to TrueContext in late 2023, but the platform is often still searched for by its original name. Both platforms handle offline mobile forms and field work orders. Pervidi goes further: full CMMS with preventive maintenance and parts management, native SAP and Oracle JDE integration, on-premises deployment, safety proximity alerts, and a dedicated Australia-based support team.

Where Pervidi pulls ahead

A native CMMS, not a form that feeds one

Pervidi includes preventive maintenance scheduling, work order assignment, job tracking, and parts and inventory management natively. ProntoForms (TrueContext) captures work order data, parts used, and photos in the field, but relies on integration with a separate back-office CMMS or ERP for scheduling and inventory.

Safety modules built in, not bolted on

Pervidi includes GPS-based safety proximity alerts, toolbox talks with digital sign-off, and a full incident and accident management module, all connected to the same CMMS. TrueContext supports OSHA compliance workflows and Job Safety Analysis (JSA) coverage through its forms platform, but does not publicly specify proximity alerts or toolbox talks.

Cloud or on-premises, your choice

Pervidi is available cloud or on-premises, with native SAP and JD Edwards (Oracle JDE) integration, for organisations that need data sovereignty and direct ERP connectivity. ProntoForms (TrueContext) is a cloud-only SaaS platform; SAP and Oracle connections are available via custom API integration rather than as native out-of-the-box connectors.

When to choose Pervidi

When workflows need to become a full operations platform

Pervidi is the right choice for organisations that need inspection and work order data to live and act natively inside one platform, rather than being captured by a forms layer and pushed out to a separate CMMS or ERP.

You need a native CMMS with preventive maintenance scheduling and parts and inventory management, not a forms layer over a separate system
Native SAP or Oracle JDE integration matters, not a custom API project to connect them
On-premises deployment is required for data sovereignty, security policy, or infrastructure control
Your operations are in mining, oil and gas, utilities, defence, or heavy industry, where GPS-based safety proximity alerts are required
AI comparison reports across inspection runs and photo recommendations are needed to surface asset deterioration trends
You want a Melbourne-based dedicated support person, quick implementation, and optional 24x7 coverage

When to consider ProntoForms (TrueContext)

A low-code workflow layer for complex, existing back-office systems

ProntoForms (TrueContext) suits enterprises that already run established back-office systems (ERP, CRM, or FSM) and primarily need a low-code mobile forms and workflow layer with AI-assisted guidance to sit in front of them.

Your primary need is a low-code forms and workflow builder that connects to an existing CMMS, ERP, or CRM you already run
Native Salesforce, ServiceNow, or Microsoft integration matters more than SAP or Oracle connectivity
AI-augmented guided workflows and pre-fault pattern detection for assets are a priority
No requirement for on-premises deployment or GPS-based safety proximity alerts

Common questions

Pervidi vs ProntoForms (TrueContext): FAQ

Is ProntoForms now called TrueContext?

Yes. ProntoForms rebranded to TrueContext in November 2023 and was acquired by Battery Ventures in May 2024. The product is the same mobile forms and workflow platform, now operating under the TrueContext name.

Does Pervidi work offline without internet connectivity?

Yes. Pervidi is a true offline-first native app for iOS and Android. Field teams can complete inspections, log work orders, capture photos, and raise corrective actions with zero network connectivity. Data syncs automatically when back online. ProntoForms (TrueContext) also works offline, with data syncing once connectivity is restored, which is a strength shared by both platforms.

Does Pervidi support full CMMS including preventive maintenance and work orders?

Yes. Pervidi includes a full CMMS: preventive maintenance scheduling, work order creation and assignment, job tracking, time and cost logging, and parts and inventory management, all native to the platform. ProntoForms (TrueContext) is a low-code forms and workflow platform: it captures work order data, parts used, and photos in the field, but relies on integration with a separate back-office CMMS or ERP system for preventive maintenance scheduling and parts inventory management.

Can Pervidi integrate with SAP, Oracle, or other ERP systems?

Yes. Pervidi integrates natively with SAP and JD Edwards (Oracle JDE), plus custom systems via REST API. Work order data, inspection results, and asset records flow directly into your ERP environment. ProntoForms (TrueContext) offers native out-of-the-box integrations with Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Microsoft, plus custom API integrations for SAP, Oracle, and other back-office systems, but does not list SAP or Oracle as native out-of-the-box connections.

What AI features does Pervidi offer compared to ProntoForms (TrueContext)?

Pervidi AI generates comparison reports across inspection runs to surface trends and anomalies, recommends photo evidence based on historical findings, and supports predictive maintenance from accumulated asset data. TrueContext offers its own AI features, including AI-augmented guided workflows and pre-fault pattern detection for assets, but does not publicly specify AI-driven inspection comparison or photo recommendation capabilities.

Does Pervidi include safety proximity alerts and incident management?

Yes. Pervidi includes real-time GPS-based safety proximity alerts that warn workers when they enter hazardous zones, plus toolbox talks with digital sign-off and a full incident and accident management module. TrueContext supports OSHA compliance workflows and Job Safety Analysis (JSA) coverage through its forms platform, but does not publicly specify real-time proximity alert capability or toolbox talks.

Is Pervidi available on-premises, or is it cloud-only?

Pervidi supports both cloud SaaS and on-premises deployment. On-premises suits defence, government, and critical infrastructure organisations that require data sovereignty or cannot use externally-hosted systems. ProntoForms (TrueContext) is a cloud-only SaaS platform with no publicly specified on-premises deployment option.

Where is Pervidi's support team based?

Pervidi's support team is based in Melbourne, Australia. Every account has a dedicated support person assigned to it, with optional 24x7 coverage. Pervidi has 25 years of experience supporting industrial field teams. ProntoForms (TrueContext) is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, and was founded in 2001.
