About Us
BowTie Pro™ software tool started development in 2004 and was immediately adopted by many consultancies, companies and government organisations around the world who have found real benefits in using it.
Over the past two decades, the solution has continued to evolve in response to industry needs and best practice developments. What began as a specialist bowtie analysis tool has grown into a comprehensive risk management platform that supports organisations throughout the entire risk lifecycle. In addition to BowTie Pro™, the platform now includes integrated Action Tracking capabilities, enabling organisations to assign, monitor, and verify risk treatment actions and control assurance activities.
To meet the diverse requirements of our global client base, we offer both a traditional Windows-based application and a fully featured cloud-based solution. Our cloud platform provides secure, scalable access to risk information from anywhere in the world, supporting collaboration across teams, sites, and organisations. The solution is hosted through strategically located data centres in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, ensuring high availability, performance, and compliance with regional data hosting requirements.
Today, BowTie Pro™ and its associated solutions are trusted by organisations across a wide range of industries, helping them strengthen risk governance, improve operational resilience, and enhance the communication of critical risks and controls to stakeholders at all levels.
With extensive experience supporting organisations in high-risk and complex industries, we help clients strengthen their risk management capabilities through a combination of specialist consulting expertise and proven software solutions. Our integrated approach enables organisations to identify, manage, and communicate risk effectively while supporting operational excellence and regulatory compliance.
We offer resource solutions across all of our main market sectors, including mining, oil & gas, rail, and renewables, and across our whole consulting service range, from safety engineering and related disciplines, through management systems to organisational culture and competency assurance.
It is used by many companies, government organisations and universities around the world who have found real benefits in using the software and our services to manage the risks and communicate the controls required to a range of both internal and external stakeholders.
As the name suggests, BowTie Pro™ starts with the bowtie and leads into a range of analysis modules such as Risk Registers. The bowtie can then be used to quickly move to other analysis techniques such as our visual Layers of Protection (LOPA), Simultaneous Operations etc
The success of the diagram is that it is simple and easy for the non-specialist to understand. The idea is a simple one of combining the cause (fault tree) and the consequence (event tree). When the fault tree is drawn on the left hand side and the event tree is drawn on the right hand side with the hazard drawn as a “knot” in the middle the diagram looks a bit like a bowtie, as shown.
BowTie Pro helps organizations move beyond simply identifying hazards and instead develop a deeper understanding of the risks associated with those hazards, the barriers in place to manage them, and the potential consequences if those barriers fail, leading to a more proactive and safer approach to risk management.
