Novara

What Novara does

Novara is a private, US-headquartered software company that builds Novara Flex, an all-in-one cloud-based environment, health, and safety (EHS) and operational risk management platform sold to multi-site enterprises in high-risk industries including construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, power and utilities, and to insurance brokers. The platform unifies incident management, mobile field inspections, audits, equipment inspections, training management, Safety Data Sheet (SDS) management, contractor risk management, ESG/sustainability (Scope 1/2/3 carbon accounting), quality management (Quality Essentials), and AI-powered workflow automation (Flex AI) into a single integrated suite, supported by a content library of over 1,000 training courses and 70 million+ SDS entries.

The company's technology stack centers on the Flex platform with three named AI capabilities in market or development: Form Agent (multimodal document-to-digital-workflow AI that compresses form digitization from 1-2 hours to 1-2 minutes), Safety Trekr AI (regulatory Q&A grounded in American Society of Safety Professionals content), and the upcoming Hazard Detection Agent and Flex AI Knowledge Engine. The 2026 acquisition of Toronto-based Ensogo added AI-native sustainability and agentic AI capabilities, including a new Chief Strategy Officer (Elie Mouzon) and VP of AI Engineering (Tommy Ng). Novara's go-to-market is sales-led with a 'Request a Demo' motion for enterprise and mid-market buyers, supplemented by a separate broker channel via the Risk Management Center distributed through major insurance brokers including Marsh McLennan, Hylant, AssuredPartners, and USI. Revenue is generated primarily through annual or multi-year SaaS subscriptions priced on a quote basis, with training courses and broker-platform deals contributing additional recurring revenue streams. The company reports thousands of customers and over 8 million individuals trained on its platform.
