About Vinçotte

The central hub for your inspection data at Vinçotte.

Vinçotte is a Belgian Testing, Inspection and Certification body, part of the Kiwa group. Its inspectors check the things you are legally required to have checked: electrical installations, lifting equipment, fire safety, tanks and more, across building, energy, industry, logistics and food.

Vinçotte Connect is the B2B portal that gathers that work in one place. You see your inspected assets, your inspection reports, your invoices and your scheduled visits, and you get notified when a new report lands or a breach is detected. Its API lets you place orders straight from your own system and sync assets, reports and invoices between Vinçotte and you.

That data is worth more once it sits next to the rest of your business. In a warehouse an open non-conformity lines up with the asset register, the maintenance ledger and the plant it belongs to, and the slow questions about compliance status, re-inspection timing and repeat findings per site finally have answers.

What your Vinçotte data is for

What you get once Vinçotte is connected.

Compliance that adds up

One picture of every inspected asset, report and open finding instead of a portal you log into per site.

  • Open non-conformities per site, asset class and inspection type
  • Assets due for re-inspection this quarter, with the ones already overdue
  • Findings that keep coming back on the same installation, year after year

Cross-system automation

Let a new report or a detected breach drive the right action outside the portal.

  • A detected breach opens a work order in your maintenance system on the same asset
  • Scheduled visits pushed onto the site calendar with the responsible manager
  • New Vinçotte invoices matched to the right cost centre in your ERP

AI workflows

Use the history of reports and findings to see risk before the next inspection.

  • Risk scoring per asset on past findings and re-inspection patterns
  • Auto-classify report text against your own asset and location taxonomy
  • Flag the sites drifting toward a missed re-inspection date

Custom apps on your data

Small internal tools on Vinçotte data for people who should not be opening the portal.

  • Compliance board with open findings and re-inspection deadlines per plant
  • Asset-passport view with inspection history next to maintenance and warranty
  • Manager portal showing the next scheduled visits per location

Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

Are we compliant across every site right now?

Share of inspected assets with a clean, valid Vinçotte report per plant, against the ones carrying an open non-conformity. The board sees the sites where compliance is slipping and the assets whose legal inspection has actually lapsed, instead of trusting that no news from the portal means good news.

Which findings keep coming back after we think we fixed them?

Non-conformities matched per asset across successive Vinçotte reports, so the finding that reappears on the same installation stands out. Maintenance and safety see where a repair keeps failing re-inspection and where a supplier's kit is generating the same breach year after year.

What do we spend on inspections, and where does it land?

Vinçotte invoices split by site, cost centre and inspection type, joined to the assets that were actually inspected. Finance sees which plants and asset classes drive the inspection bill, and whether the spend lines up with the compliance risk it is meant to cover.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

Vinçotte invoices matched to sites, cost centres and the assets actually inspected, so the inspection bill stops being a lump sum from a supplier. Finance sees which plants and asset classes drive the cost and whether re-inspection spend tracks the compliance risk it covers.

For sales leaders

For firms that sell or lease inspected equipment and installations, a clean compliance record per asset is proof for the customer. Valid inspections, closed findings and an up-to-date asset passport back up the sale instead of a promise that everything is in order.

For operations

One view of open non-conformities, re-inspection deadlines and scheduled visits across every site, instead of logging into the portal plant by plant. The operations or QHSE lead spots the asset drifting toward a lapsed inspection before it turns into a shutdown or a fine.

Ideas

What you can automate with Vinçotte.

Pair with Fixform

Open a Fixform work order when Vinçotte flags a breach

A detected breach in a Vinçotte report opens the matching issue in Fixform on the same asset and location, with the finding, the deadline and a link back to the report. The technical team picks up the repair in the tool they already use, and the closed Fixform issue lines up with the next re-inspection instead of living in a separate portal.

Pair with TOPdesk

Route Vinçotte findings into a TOPdesk service desk

Non-conformities from Vinçotte reports open the matching change or incident in TOPdesk on the same asset key, with severity, deadline and category attached. Organisations that already run TOPdesk keep facility, IT and compliance work in one service-desk record, so a legal finding follows the same track as everything else the team handles.

Pair with MS Business Central

Match Vinçotte invoices and assets in Business Central

Vinçotte invoices and inspected assets reconcile against Business Central purchase records, fixed assets and cost centres. Finance sees the inspection spend per site and asset class next to the equipment it covers, and the asset the operator team still maintains lines up with the one the ledger and the compliance report both know about.

Pair with Microsoft Teams

Post Vinçotte breach alerts into the responsible Teams channel

When a Vinçotte report flags a breach or an asset passes its re-inspection date, the responsible site group gets a message in Microsoft Teams with the asset, the location and a link to the report. The manager on that plant sees the finding in the channel they already work in, instead of waiting for the monthly compliance review to surface it.

Pair with Power BI

Bring Vinçotte compliance into your Power BI

Vinçotte assets, reports, non-conformities and scheduled visits feed your Power BI workspace next to your asset register, maintenance and finance data. Operations and QHSE leadership see open findings, re-inspection deadlines and compliance rate per site on the same dashboards they already review, instead of opening the portal for the compliance picture.

Pair with Exact Online

Book Vinçotte invoices against the right project in Exact Online

Vinçotte invoices get linked to the Exact Online supplier, cost centre and project they belong to, using the site and asset reference. The Belgian and Dutch finance teams closing on Exact stop reconciling the inspection spend by hand, and the cost of keeping a site compliant sits on the project it actually protects.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.

Which Vinçotte Connect data do you pull?

The business objects Vinçotte Connect exposes: inspection orders and scheduled visits, inspected assets, inspection reports including the breach or non-conformity flags, and invoices. Each report keeps its link to the asset it belongs to and the finding it raised, which is what most compliance reporting needs to line up against your own asset register.

How do Vinçotte non-conformities reconcile with our own assets?

Vinçotte Connect ties each report and finding to an inspected asset, and its API syncs assets, reports and invoices between your system and theirs. The warehouse model joins those to your own asset register on the asset reference or a shared id you maintain on both sides. Where no clean key exists, we set up a one-time matching pass before the compliance dashboards go live.

Do we need Vinçotte Connect and its API for this?

Yes. The connector reads through Vinçotte Connect, the customer portal, and the API it offers, which lets customers place orders and sync assets, reports and invoices. If your account is set up for Connect, the same data your team sees in the portal is what lands in your warehouse.
