# BlueWave

> BlueWave is Legionella compliance software for UK water hygiene contractors. It schedules the PPM round, captures the visit in a plant room with no signal, tracks each sample from the lab back to the logbook, files the record against the customer, site and asset, and invoices the contract as the work completes.

Who it is for: firms that deliver water hygiene and Legionella control services to other people's buildings. Not the duty holder watching their own estate — the contractor doing the round.

## Standards and affiliation

BlueWave's records, task schedules and retention defaults are shaped around ACoP L8, HSG274 Parts 1-3, HSG282, HTM 04-01, BS 8580-1 and BS 7592, and around the five-year record retention the Legionella Control Association (LCA) expects of service providers. BlueWave is not affiliated with, approved by, accredited by or endorsed by the Legionella Control Association, the Health and Safety Executive, UKAS or any other body. Built around the standards, not certified by them.

## How BlueWave differs

- Horizontal field-service platforms: Field-service software that runs jobs for many trades, with an industry page per sector over the same scheduling, job and invoice modules. The water page is a landing page, not a different product. Where it leaves a water hygiene contractor: The job engine is mature. The monitoring regime, the sampling schema and the five-year record are yours to build out of custom fields, and they have to hold up on the day an assessor asks.
- Forms-digitisation tools: Software that turns a paper job sheet into a mobile form. It digitises the sheet well, and it is not a job-management system; the vendors say so themselves. Where it leaves a water hygiene contractor: You get a tidier form. The schedule stays on the whiteboard, the asset register stays in a spreadsheet, the lab results stay in an inbox and the invoice stays in the accounts package. Four places to look when someone asks one question.
- Estate compliance portals: Compliance and logbook systems sold to the duty holder watching their own buildings — the trust, the university, the council. Strong on the logbook and the dashboard. Where it leaves a water hygiene contractor: They were never built to run your round, schedule your engineers or raise your invoice. You key the same visit into the client's portal and your own tracker, and now two records can disagree.

BlueWave is the fourth kind: contractor-side, water-hygiene-specific, offline where the work actually happens, and priced so an engineer seat costs less than an office seat. Office seats start at £49 and engineer seats at £29 per user per month, published in full. It is built for the firm delivering the water hygiene service, not the duty holder buying it. We'll say what we don't do, too. There's no accounting integration — invoices are raised and issued here, and export as Factur-X e-invoices, but nothing is pushed to Sage. There's no duty-holder portal yet; it's on the roadmap and marked “coming” on the pricing page rather than implied here. And there's no integration with the forms tool you're on; the point is leaving it, which is why we rebuild your sheets rather than sync with them.

## What BlueWave does not do

Stated plainly so it is not inferred.

- No accounting integration. Invoices are raised, issued, voided and marked paid in BlueWave and export as Factur-X e-invoices at the EN 16931 profile; they are not pushed to Sage, Xero or QuickBooks.
- Factur-X is document compliance, not transmission. No Peppol, network or clearance claims.
- No integration with forms-digitisation tools. BlueWave replaces them, deliberately.
- No Bluetooth temperature probe integration.
- No training or competence matrix.
- The engineer app is a progressive web app, not a native iOS or Android app.
- Client portal, custom reporting dashboards, open LIMS laboratory integration and advanced API access are on the roadmap, not shipped, and are marked as such on https://usebluewave.com/pricing.
