Complete transparency of all requirements
EHS&S compliance software for managing permit requirements, calendars, tasks and workflow
Locus Task & Compliance cloud software keeps even the most demanding compliance programs on course.
Health, safety, and environmental compliance involves a lot of moving parts. Organizations pursue multiple regulated and voluntary initiatives in parallel. Permits come with complex requirements. Deadlines vary. Jurisdictional expectations differ. Non-compliance isn’t an option. And resources remain tight. Ensuring that every “t has been crossed” correctly and on time can seem impossible. And just when you think you’ve developed the ideal program for your situation, the rules change, or your company expands to a new jurisdiction.
Locus Task & Compliance helps organizations hit a compliance bullseye every time — even when the target keeps moving.

Centralize data in one integrated cloud
- Manage every detail pertaining to permits, including names and numbers, expiration and renewal dates, requirements, facilities, responsible parties, issuing agencies, and notices of violations.
- Store related documents with the record, such as digital copies of permits, consent decrees, inspection findings, and enforcement activities. Attach files or link to SharePoint.
- Connect to third-party data sources via API or IoT-enabled smart meters.
- Link to analytical lab data and field measurements captured in the field.
Administer a complete compliance program
- Integrate with adjacent Locus apps for waste, water, air, sustainability, and more.
- Create tasks, compliance calendars, and workflows to help automate the fulfillment of permit obligations, inspections and audits, and corrective actions.
- Define the cadence and content for notifications and reminders. Issue auto-generated emails when tasks are approaching deadlines, overdue, or complete.
- Define outside requirements and processes that must be completed in parallel with regulatory obligations.
- Connect to regulatory content providers to understand the context and conditions of your obligations.
Manage complex tasks
- Associate each permit obligation with Locus Tasks or Locus Workflows to streamline compliance activities.
- Create any type of task, including audit or inspection events, training programs, report generation, notices of violations, and automated corrective actions.
- Set frequencies, recurrence, schedules, completion dates, triggers and sequences. Edits to the parameters will cascade through program.
- Filter the Locus Compliance Calendar to view specific activities or sites. Integrate tasks with Microsoft Outlook® calendars.
- Complete tasks directly from calendars and dashboards or make batch updates to tasks. Use Locus Mobile to complete tasks while in the field.
Automate workflows
- Manage multi-step processes with interactive, drag-and-drop Locus Workflows.
- Enforce structure, divide tasks between users, route assignments to stakeholders and business groups, schedule connected or dependent actions, and issue reminders.
- Create dynamic workflows to ensure that all Title V permit renewal steps, for example, are fulfilled on time, including emission calculations, paperwork completion, internal review, and submission.
- Log all actions taken by authorized users.
Keep stakeholders informed
- Automatically notify users of important milestones in a permit’s life cycle, the required actions to remain compliant, and assigned tasks.
- Configure audit trails to ensure accountability across team members.
- Securely collaborate across the team from within Locus. Manage and track team discussion, comments, and instant messages about the permit, responsibilities, and compliance activities.
- Receive alerts when the program is off-track — putting the organization at risk of operational failures, regulatory interventions, and environmental crises.
Monitor KPIs and analytics
- Generate tables, charts, and custom views, or leverage robust visual analytics.
- Use dashboards to monitor the status of permits, compliance obligations, and regulatory disclosures.
- Configure dashboards (and reports) to preview tasks, events, notifications, and requirements; to summarize status by any factor (e.g. responsible party, facility, manager, permit, or status); and to escalate actions.
Generate reports
- Run midterm reports to monitor policy adoption, confirm progress towards targets, and confidently course-correct when needed.
- Generate regulatory reports based on EPA, OSHA, and common frameworks, or define custom report formats.
Adjust Locus software on the fly
- Use Locus Configuration Workbench to quickly refine the software to align with regulatory changes, shifting priorities, or new jurisdictions.
- Tweak any form, task, workflow, and report to match the evolving requirements for air, water, and land permits.
- Roll out custom, no/low-code apps to address emerging business challenges.
