About This Automation

Quality inspections require site visits, photo collection, and manual transcription into records. Handwritten notes, scattered files, and duplicate entries create delays and errors that slow corrective action.

Automation captures inspection data directly from the field, validates completeness, assigns defects to responsible parties, and generates formal reports with photos and deadlines. Reports distribute automatically with delivery confirmation and centralized tracking.

Key features
Validate inspection submissions for completeness and flag duplicate or conflicting findings before they enter the record
Assign defects to the correct trade, supervisor, or department using rule-based logic based on defect type and location
Generate formatted PDF reports with embedded photos, defect summaries, and corrective action deadlines
Distribute reports automatically via email and team messaging with delivery status logging
Track corrective action progress in a single searchable source of truth with audit trail

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Inspector Submits Inspection Formtrigger

Inspector completes a structured form or mobile app with site details, defect descriptions, severity ratings, and photo attachments. Submission triggers the automation.

2. Extract and Validate Findings

Automation extracts form data and attached photos, validates required fields, and checks for duplicates against recent inspections. Invalid or incomplete submissions are flagged for manual review.

3. Assign Defects to Responsible Parties

Automation applies rule-based logic to assign each defect to the correct trade or supervisor based on defect type, location, and site. Assignments are logged in the central record.

4. Generate Formal Inspection Report

Automation creates a PDF inspection report with formatted findings, embedded photos, severity summary, and corrective action deadlines. Report is timestamped and versioned.

5. Distribute Report via Email

Automation sends the report to assigned parties and posts a summary notification. Delivery is logged and read receipts are tracked.

6. Log Record to Central Database

Automation writes the complete inspection record, including all metadata, photos, and assignments, as the searchable archive. Record is tagged for easy retrieval.

7. Schedule Corrective Action Follow-up

Automation creates a follow-up task in the team calendar and sends a reminder to the QA manager to check status on the assigned corrective action deadline.
