# PermitMe > PermitMe is enterprise-grade permit-to-work and safety management software for high-risk industries. It digitises the full permit lifecycle — permits to work, energy isolations (LOTO), excavation certificates, and safety documentation — replacing paper-based systems with a modern, real-time platform. Based in New Zealand, serving customers across Australasia. PermitMe is a cloud-based SaaS platform hosted on Google Cloud Platform. It is natively compatible with the Common Permit to Work (CPTW) system and StayLive Work Control Procedures (SL WCPs).
