Dave Lefevre and Shawn Macpherson founded Devtra Inc. in 1987 to provide training and consulting across a range of industries, with a focus on equipment operations, material handling, inspections, maintenance, safety, and compliance. In 2000, Devtra launched The Checker, which has become the most comprehensive and effective inspection checklist system in existence—having been used to conduct more than 13 million inspections by companies of all sizes and types throughout North America. To further its mission of making equipment inspections a competitive advantage for its customers, Devtra premiered its SaaS inspection management system in 2011, allowing The Checker’s field-proven Checklists to be used digitally and enabling more-efficient inspection management. In addition to The Checker, Devtra continues to provide training and consulting services to preferred clientele.
