Overview
Checkfirst (Checkfirst.ai) provides AI-powered tools for the Testing, Inspection, Certification & Compliance (TIC/TICC) sector to automate scheduling, inspections and document verification. Company notes: London-based with offices in Portugal and Egypt; CEO Benjamin (Ben) Lambert. According to a press release referenced on the site, the company raised $1.5M pre-seed. Main product modular suite described on the site includes: - ScheduleAI: AI scheduler for audits/inspections that auto-assigns auditors by skills, certifications, availability, language, cost and location; travel optimisation; one-click rescheduling; planner/manager dashboards; calendar sync with Outlook and Google. - InspectAI: Field inspection app with offline mode, digital checklists, image verification AI, a real-time command center/dashboard, multilingual support, digital signatures and an option for no-login field access. - VerifyAI: Document/Certificate of Analysis (COA) verification combining LLM and rules-based extraction and verification, flagging items for human review. The product is described as API-first, multilingual and able to process large volumes (case studies claim significant time savings). Key features and integrations listed on the site include auto allocation and rotation rules, skill matching, travel grouping, live calendar sync (Outlook/Google), CSV/Excel support, API-first architecture, exports (Word, PDF, JSON) and regulatory-compliant immutable audit trail, image verification and photo capture for offline field use, document field extraction with rules engine and human-in-the-loop review. The site mentions integrations such as Dropbox and Excel and emphasizes API integration capability. Security, privacy and compliance information on the site states ISO 27001 certification and GDPR compliance. The privacy policy lists collected data types (personal data, GPS/camera with consent, usage data), retention rules that vary by type, cross-border transfers, user rights and contact details. An on-premise option is mentioned for high-security needs, particularly for VerifyAI workflows. Claims and case study metrics presented on the site include homepage benefit claims (e.g., 42% lower subcontractor costs, 11% better internal resource efficiency, 22% less travel time), and case study examples such as a global certification client with 90% of audits auto-allocated in two minutes, internal auditor utilisation to 92%, planning time reduced from days to minutes. VerifyAI case study claims include up to 99% reduction in verification time and a €1M annual saving at scale. The site presents implementation claims of rapid proofs-of-concept and integrations in days rather than months, and VerifyAI deployments achievable in a few weeks. Pricing and trials: the site references modular pricing by team size, product and usage, an ROI calculator and language about transparent pricing tiers/estimates, but no explicit numeric public prices or published price tiers were found. No explicit free trial is documented. The site directs users to contact Checkfirst for pricing, ROI estimate or demo. Contact and CTAs: repeated calls-to-action to schedule a demo or contact the company. Contact email found in terms: [email protected]. No public phone number was found on the pages reviewed. Resources and support: the site contains blog posts, press releases, case studies and a resources hub (the reviewer noted form/subscription UX issues). Some blog pages reference FAQs (e.g., setup time) but no full public SLA or published support plan was visible. Deployment and onboarding: described as API-first and modular (start with one module and scale). Proof-of-concept approach described: use customer data, involve 2–3 planners, iterate before rollout. Offline capability for field work (InspectAI) and an on-premise option for high-security document processing (VerifyAI) are referenced. Information not found and recommended follow-up: exact pricing tiers, per-user or per-audit costs, minimum commitments or contract lengths; whether a free trial or sandbox/demo tenant exists and limitations; access to the ROI calculator (link or requirements and example inputs/outputs); detailed SLAs, uptime guarantees, backup/retention specifics and incident response processes; specific integration/API documentation and supported authentication methods; data residency options and detailed security whitepapers or SOC reports; additional customer references and more detailed case study data (metrics, timeline, scope); phone contact or local sales representative details. Suggested next steps offered by the reviewer: contact the company using [email protected] to request public pricing tiers or a pricing sheet, access to the ROI calculator, trial/PoC terms, API docs and security whitepaper, and demo scheduling availability; or attempt another pass to locate hidden pricing pages or pricing PDFs and capture direct demo/signup links. The reviewer can draft outreach messaging if provided sender details and specifics.
