Verdantix Green Quadrant Highlights Leading Process Safety Management Software Vendors

The recently published Verdantix Green Quadrant: Process Safety Management Software (2026) evaluates 11 process safety management (PSM) software vendors based on their technical and functional capabilities, as well as their market momentum. The research included two-hour software demonstrations with participating vendors, a 120-point factual questionnaire, interviews with corporate buyers of PSM software and desktop research. The study also incorporates findings from the Verdantix industrial transformation global corporate survey of 333 operations, maintenance, engineering, IT and process safety decision-makers, alongside responses from 301 EHS decision-makers who participated in the EHS global corporate survey. The vendors featured in this Green Quadrant are Benchmark Gensuite, Cority, Ideagen, Intelex, Octave, Prometheus Group, Sphera, TenForce, VelocityEHS, Wolters Kluwer Enablon and Yokogawa.

In key takeaways from this edition of the Green Quadrant, we see that:

• Dynamic visualization tools are helping firms manage process safety risk in real time.
  Industrial and EHSQ teams are increasingly moving towards proactive risk management. Intuitive risk visualization tools – such as bowtie diagrams – help firms understand how hazardous events connect to underlying causes and potential consequences. Leading vendors have evolved from static to dynamic bowties by linking risk assessments with live operational data. This gives firms real-time insight into those controls that are weakening and those that are performing effectively. For example, Tullow Oil used Prometheus Group’s dynamic risk visualization tools to identify how factors such as fatigue, competency gaps and staffing changes can affect barrier health.
  
• Agentic AI is supporting PSM workflows, with human oversight built in.
  AI is becoming more embedded in PSM workflows. Recent advances in agentic AI have led several software vendors to launch their own AI agent platforms, including Benchmark Gensuite’s Genny AI, Cority’s Cortex AI and Ideagen’s Mazlan framework. Unlike general co-pilots, these agents are designed to support specific PSM processes, such as CAPA recommendations and the digitization of paper-based assessments. However, because process safety failures can have severe consequences, these agents are not fully autonomous. Instead, they operate within strict human-in-the-loop controls to ensure expert oversight and accuracy.
  
• Centralized PSM platforms are improving access to information and supporting better decisions.
  Historically, PSM software has been spread across multiple disconnected systems. More recently, both EHS and asset-intensive software vendors have made acquisitions to close gaps in their offerings and consolidate capabilities into integrated platforms. This gives teams access to data across different modules and reduces information gaps between functions. With a more complete view of process safety performance, firms can make better-informed and more consistent decisions across the organization.
