We built ShowerSafety because the logbook kept getting wet.

Paper logbooks are where good intentions go to be forgotten. They live in a plant room, get filled in at the end of the month from memory, and are never quite where you need them when the inspector arrives.

We wanted the checks to come to the person doing them, at the right time, on the phone already in their pocket — and the record to be there, complete, the moment someone asks for it.

ShowerSafety is built by Neil Sanderson. Neil works as a pool plant operator and is involved in water-safety compliance where he works, so he knows these checks from the side of the person holding the thermometer. He has also spent around 20 years running websites and content management systems, and five years building and hosting web services, which grew into CloudCanopy. ShowerSafety, like its sister product PoolComply, is what you get when those two jobs meet: compliance software built by someone who does the checks.
