Before you begin

  • A VoltMate account for signed-in workspace features.
  • Use your own professional and business details when creating real records.

What the workspace does

VoltMate brings business administration, inspection workflows, certificate records, technical resources and AI-assisted tools into one UK-focused workspace.

The Knowledge Base and Safety Hub contain technical reference material. This Help Centre explains how to use VoltMate itself.

Start here

  1. 1

    Sign in and open the Dashboard for your current workspace overview.

  2. 2

    Create or select a Client before building client-specific work records.

  3. 3

    Use Jobs and Calendar to organise work, Quotes and Invoices for commercial records, and Inspections for technical inspection workflows.

  4. 4

    Use the global search in the dashboard header to jump to product areas and technical resources.

  5. 5

    Review Notifications, Billing and Data & backup from the workspace when you need account-level controls.

Open a workflow from the homepage

  1. 1

    Choose a step in the homepage workflow: Enquiry opens Clients, followed by Quote, Job, Inspection, Certificate and Invoice opening their corresponding workspace areas.

  2. 2

    If you are asked to sign in, use your VoltMate account. You can switch to Create an account while keeping the selected destination.

  3. 3

    After authentication, continue in the selected area. Opening a step does not create, send or issue a record; use the controls in that workspace when you are ready.

The homepage Create certificate button opens certificate creation. Inspection data, review and the normal issuing checks still apply.

What happens after you save

Server-backed workspace records are tied to the signed-in account and are intended to remain available after refresh and on another signed-in device. An on-screen draft or failed offline action is not the same as a successful server save.

If VoltMate reports that you are offline, do not assume a save, AI request or other server action has been queued. Reconnect and reload current data before relying on the screen.

Common mistakes

  • Starting duplicate client or job records instead of opening the existing record first.
  • Treating technical guidance or AI output as a replacement for competent assessment.
  • Assuming information visible while offline is current server data.

Troubleshooting

If a dashboard page fails to load, refresh once after confirming your connection. If the problem persists, use Contact & support and include the affected area, what you were doing and the exact error shown. Do not send passwords or full payment-card details.
