Higher Elevation Software vs. EHS Insight
The EHS-Dashboard™ by Higher Elevation Software and EHS Insight both handle the core of EHS work from incidents, inspections, audits, compliance, and ESG data. With the EHS-Dashboard™, you get EHS and ESG in one system from day one, while EHS Insight builds that same coverage module by module.
The Two Systems at a Glance
The EHS-Dashboard™ by Higher Elevation Software is all-in-one EHS software that centralizes Environmental, Health, Safety, Quality, and Sustainability data for safety-critical industries. Every feature is included in one annual subscription, priced by site, not users. Built by EHS practitioners and software engineers, it typically reaches implementation in less than three months.
EHS Insight, a StarTex Software product, is a cloud-based EHS and ESG system organized into 32 modules covering incident management, audits, compliance, training, chemical management, and sustainability. Pricing is quoted per organization based on the number of contacts (employees and contractors) and the modules selected.

What Makes the EHS-Dashboard™ by Higher Elevation Software Different?
Both platforms describe an all-in-one solution. The difference is what's included in the price, and what happens to that price as your organization grows.
Every Feature Included, Priced by Site, Not by User
The EHS-Dashboard™ doesn’t require you to assemble modules from a features list. It's one subscription. Incident and near-miss management, inspections and audits, Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs), compliance calendars, environmental data, ESG tracking, quality workflows, Management of Change, and supplier compliance ships together. Adding your next workflow or a new user never triggers a price increase.
One Source of Truth from Day One
Because the platform is not modular, an incident, its corrective action, the related training record, and the compliance task live on connected records, audit-ready from the start. You won’t have to worry about a module-by-module rollout leaving seams or cracks in your data.
Built by EHS Practitioners and Software Engineers
With 20+ years of specialized industry experience, the Higher Elevation Software team built the EHS-Dashboard™ to meet the needs of real EHS programs. Because they lived through those problems themselves, their experience shows up in the workflows, in the support, and in how closely they work with your team through implementation.
Which EHS System Fits Your Organization?
Choose EHS Insight if you're a smaller or single-site team starting with one or two modules such as incident management or inspections. You want the lowest entry price, or if offline mobile apps are a hard requirement.
Choose the EHS-Dashboard™ if you manage EHS across multiple sites. You want safety, quality, and sustainability in one system, with every feature included. You want a price set by your site count, not your headcount.
Why Choose the EHS-Dashboard™?
The EHS-Dashboard™ simplifies how organizations manage EHS and ESG data in one platform.
