RC Pro Software —
Apollo RCA Investigation Tool
RC Pro is the dedicated software platform for building and managing Apollo RCA investigations. HolisticAM is the authorised Australian provider of RC Pro access.
What is RC Pro?
RC Pro is the software application built to support Apollo Root Cause Analysis investigations. It provides a structured digital environment for building RealityCharts and managing corrective actions.
RC Pro is the software developed by Apollonian Publications specifically for Apollo RCA investigations. It provides a structured digital environment for building RealityCharts — the cause-and-effect logic trees that are the primary output of an Apollo RCA investigation.
Where whiteboard or paper-based investigations are difficult to audit, share, and track over time, RC Pro creates a permanent, searchable record of every investigation. Corrective actions are assigned within the software and tracked through to completion. Investigation reports are generated directly from the RealityChart, reducing the documentation burden significantly.
- Visual cause-effect mapping with a drag-and-drop logic tree builder for constructing RealityCharts
- Evidence attachment for each causal statement, creating an auditable record of the investigation basis
- Corrective action tracking and assignment with due dates, owners, and completion verification
- Investigation report generation directly from the RealityChart, reducing documentation time
- Cloud-based with individual user licences, accessible from any location
- Used by reliability engineers, HSE teams, and maintenance leaders across mining, manufacturing, oil and gas, rail, and utilities
Why Use RC Pro with Apollo RCA?
Apollo RCA can be performed with paper and whiteboards, but RC Pro makes the process faster, more structured, and easier to share across teams and sites.
Structural Integrity
RC Pro enforces cause-effect structure as you build the RealityChart, preventing common logical errors that occur in manual investigations. The software prompts for evidence at each causal node, reducing the risk of unverified assumptions being accepted as facts.
Auditable Record
Each investigation creates a searchable, time-stamped record. For organisations subject to regulatory reporting requirements, or those wanting to build an investigation library for learning, this makes RC Pro significantly more valuable than paper-based methods.
Faster Reporting
Investigation reports are generated directly from the completed RealityChart. Organisations that previously spent days formatting investigation reports find this reduces reporting time to hours, freeing investigators to focus on corrective action implementation.
Distributed Team Support
Multiple contributors can access and add to the same investigation. For organisations with remote sites or distributed engineering teams, this removes the bottleneck of a single person holding all investigation documentation.
Investigation Library
Over time, organisations build a searchable library of past investigations. This supports cross-site learning — when a failure pattern appears at a new site, the library can surface prior investigations with similar causal chains and the corrective actions that worked.
Corrective Action Closure
Corrective actions that are tracked in the same system as the investigation are significantly more likely to be closed than those recorded in a separate action register. RC Pro connects the investigation to its corrective actions throughout the lifecycle.
Who Uses RC Pro?
RC Pro is used by reliability engineers, maintenance leaders, HSE managers, and process engineers in mining, manufacturing, oil and gas, utilities, and rail. It is the standard software tool for organisations that have implemented Apollo RCA methodology and want to move beyond paper-based or whiteboard investigations.
Organisations typically introduce RC Pro in one of two ways: after completing Apollo RCA training as part of a HolisticAM package, or as an independent purchase by engineers who are already Apollo-trained and want to formalise their investigation process. In both cases, the value of RC Pro is greatest when it is used consistently across the organisation rather than by individual engineers working in isolation.
HSE teams use RC Pro for safety incident investigations alongside equipment failure investigations. The methodology and software are the same — what changes is the problem statement and the evidence base. Quality teams in manufacturing and pharmaceutical environments use it for contamination and process deviation investigations. The flexibility of the RealityChart structure makes RC Pro applicable across all investigation types.

Why Buy RC Pro Through HolisticAM?
HolisticAM is the authorised Australian provider of RC Pro access. That distinction matters for pricing, support, and training integration.
- Local purchase in AUD. No international transaction fees, no currency conversion, no overseas payment complexity. AUD invoice provided with GST breakdown for your finance team.
- Local technical support from practising reliability engineers. Questions about RC Pro are answered by engineers who use the software in their own investigation work — not a remote helpdesk working from a script.
- Bundled with Apollo RCA training for the best value combination. Training packages include 12 months RC Pro access. Learning to use the software in the training context — with an instructor present — significantly accelerates adoption.
- Direct relationship with Apollonian Publications. As the Australian provider, HolisticAM has a direct channel to the methodology creators. Methodology questions that go beyond software support can be escalated appropriately.
- Access to Australia’s most experienced Apollo RCA training team. Purchasing RC Pro through HolisticAM gives you a relationship with the team that trains engineers to use it — a resource that overseas providers cannot offer.
RC Pro and Apollo RCA Training
The most effective way to get value from RC Pro is to combine it with Apollo RCA training. Our training programs include hands-on RC Pro instruction as part of the course.
RC Pro is a tool that makes sense in the context of the methodology it supports. Engineers who purchase RC Pro without Apollo RCA training often find the software underutilised because they are not confident in how to structure the RealityChart correctly. The software cannot substitute for understanding the methodology — it accelerates and formalises a process that needs to be learned first.
Our Practitioner and Facilitator training packages include 12 months RC Pro access, instruction on how to use RC Pro to build a RealityChart, and hands-on practice using the software during training sessions. Participants leave the course with active access, a completed practice investigation in RC Pro, and confidence to start their first live investigation independently.

RC Pro and RealityCharting are related but distinct products. RealityCharting is the original desktop software developed by Apollonian Publications. RC Pro is the current cloud-based version designed for individual and team use with active development and update support. HolisticAM distributes RC Pro as the current recommended product for organisations implementing Apollo RCA.
Yes. RC Pro is available as a standalone purchase for engineers who are already Apollo-trained. If you have completed Apollo RCA training through another provider or have prior experience with the methodology, we can supply an RC Pro licence directly. We do recommend pairing the software with training for engineers who are new to the Apollo method, as the software is significantly more valuable when the user understands the methodology it supports.
RC Pro is available as an annual subscription. This model ensures users have access to software updates and ongoing support throughout the licence period. Annual renewal pricing applies at the end of each 12-month period. Contact us for current renewal pricing for existing licence holders.
We recommend exporting your investigations before a licence expires. RC Pro allows investigation export in standard formats. Contact HolisticAM before your renewal date to discuss your options — in most cases, renewing the licence is the simplest path to maintaining continuity of access to your investigation history.
RC Pro is cloud-based and accessible via any modern web browser on both Mac and Windows operating systems. No local installation is required. This makes it straightforward to deploy across mixed device environments and accessible from site locations without dedicated software installations.
HolisticAM is the authorised Australian provider of RC Pro access. Purchasing through HolisticAM gives you AUD pricing with a local GST-compliant invoice, local technical support from practising reliability engineers, and the option to bundle RC Pro with Apollo RCA training at the best combined price. Purchasing direct from an overseas provider will not give you the same local support, AUD pricing, or access to Australia’s most experienced Apollo RCA training team.
