Telure for an outdoor playground · $199/mo
Built for a site with nobody standing on it
Nobody opens an outdoor playground. It is open, and the first person to look at the equipment most mornings is a four year old. Telure turns the route visit, the monthly inspection and the yearly outside audit into one dated, attributed, tamper-evident record per site, so a year from now you can say who last stood in front of that swing bay and what they found.
The demo is a full fictional facility, Foxglove Commons Park, with a year of records. No account needed.
Day to day
The clipboard in the truck stops being the system. A QR at the site opens the walk on the crew's own phone, so the record is written where the equipment is instead of copied up at the depot on Friday. The monthly inspection arrives as a task with an assignee, a reminder and an overdue escalation rather than a note in somebody's head, and the office stops calling round to ask which play areas got looked at this month: the sites that were walked and the ones that were not are on one board. Inspector credentials show as expiring 30 days out rather than on the morning somebody notices.
When a claim surfaces
Be straight about what this is worth. Nobody signs anything to use a public play area, and a child cannot waive anything anyway, so the release that protects a commercial operator does not exist here. What the argument turns on instead is notice: how long the condition was there, and whether anybody was looking. Better records do not make a defect disappear. What a complete record does do is remove the inference that nothing was ever checked, and answer "when was that slide last inspected, and by whom" in an afternoon instead of through months of discovery. Every item is timestamped as it is tapped, by the person who tapped it, on an append-only hash-chained ledger; corrections appear as visible amendments beside the original, never as quiet edits.
At renewal
Municipal operators carry this through a pool, a JPA or a self-insured retention, and an HOA or a property manager carries it through a named carrier. All of them ask the same thing at renewal: show us the program. Instead of describing it you hand over a dated, verifiable export per site or across every site you run: a year of sweeps, monthly inspections, surfacing depths, closures, repairs and inspector currency, with per-item attribution and integrity anyone can check at floorkept.com/verify. A documented program like that can factor favorably into underwriting, and a council, a board or a parent asking the same question gets the same packet.
What you get, running an outdoor playground
The route, and the site that got skipped
Recurring work carries an assignee, a reminder and an overdue escalation, and Brand HQ is a read-only roll-up across every park or property you run. From one place you see on-time rates, overdue work, open corrective items and incidents per site, while each site's ledger stays its own and is written only at that site. The roll-up cannot edit a site's history, which is what keeps it evidence rather than a dashboard.
Surfacing depth and use zones with a number on the record
Register each surfacing area and each use zone with its material, its installed date and its own service interval, and note the critical height rating your supplier gave you on the record beside them. The depth reading becomes a dated interval completion against that specific zone with the inches in it, and a top-up files as a completion rather than as a delivery ticket in a glovebox. A use zone is not a thing you can buy, and registering one looks odd until you write down the alternative: the reading would otherwise attach to a whole playground and "the surfacing was fine" would mean nothing in particular.
Structure by structure, off the nameplate
Composite structures, swing bays, slides, climbers, spinners, spring riders and seesaws go on a registry with manufacturer, model, installed date and their own intervals. Play equipment usually carries a model plate and an install date rather than a serial, so serial is optional here and the model plus the install date is what actually gets filled in. The fastener service is a dated completion against that structure and a repair is an attributed event on it, so "which one was that" is never a question at a park with three identical climbers.
Weather is an operating condition, and a person records it
A bare metal slide in August and loose fill frozen into a slab in February are both same-day conditions, and Telure has no sensors and does not pretend to. What it has is the check item that puts a hand on the surface before the area is used, with a name and a time on the answer, and a seasonal drainage review that turns "it always puddles under the swings" into a dated pattern and a decision instead of a complaint.
Inspector credentials that count themselves down
The credentials your inspectors hold expire, and councils, boards and insurers ask who holds a current one. Record each as a training module with the date it was earned and the date it lapses, and the expiry counts down on the board, showing as expiring 30 days out. Crew refreshers on the route walk sit on the same board, with a colleague signing off each item as they watch it done. Telure records what you tell it and when it lapses; it does not issue, verify or endorse anybody's credential.
Closing a playground is a record, not a cone
Taking a bay, a play area or a whole site out of use is a recorded event: who closed it, why, and who authorized reopening. Declared closure days are cross-referenced by the gap report, so a surfacing renewal week or a winter shutdown never reads as a month of missed visits, and equipment out of service stays visibly out of service until somebody with a name puts it back.
A corrective queue that closes
Every finding, whether it came off a Monday sweep or out of the annual audit, opens a corrective-action item with an owner. The queue shows what is open, how long it has been open, and who closed it. That is what turns "we knew about the connector" into "we found it on the 4th, coned the bay the same hour, and replaced the chain set on the 11th".
Records that cannot be quietly edited
Entries are immutable once submitted (enforced by the database, not policy) and hash-chained so alteration is detectable. Corrections appear as visible amendments beside the original. A log anybody can go back and tidy up after an injury is worse than no log at all, and this is the difference between a checklist app and evidence.
An incident freezes its history
Logging an incident writes a hash-locked snapshot of the prior 90 days of inspection history for that site into the incident itself: exactly which sweeps, inspections, depth readings and closures existed at that moment, provable years later, whatever the file looks like when it is finally opened.
Recalls checked against what you actually have
Public recall data is polled daily and compared against your registered structures, swing hardware, slides, climbers and spinners, serial ranges included. A match opens a documented response flow at the sites that own that equipment, instead of a bulletin that reached an inbox nobody reads.
The export a council, a board or an insurer can verify
A dated, paginated PDF for any site and any period, or a roll-up across every site you run that also prints each one's training currency: adherence and gaps reported explicitly, per-item attribution shown, closures cross-referenced, integrity verification printed on the cover and checkable by anyone at floorkept.com/verify.
The Telure Standards for an outdoor playground
A Telure-curated list of recurring inspections and reviews. In the product it works as an alignment tracker: you turn it on, match the work you already run to the clauses it covers, and record a reason for any clause that does not apply here. Turning it on adds no tasks, and it is not a certification. The manufacturer’s manual governs all equipment intervals.
