Inspection Job & Checklist Management

Q: Do inspectors need special training to use the mobile form?

No. The mobile form is designed to be intuitive and works on any smartphone or tablet; inspectors simply open a link and complete the checklist as they would on paper.

Q: Can we still use our existing checklist templates?

Yes. Existing templates are converted into mobile forms; the structure and questions remain the same, but inspectors submit data directly instead of printing or emailing.

Q: How does the system handle inspections that fail or require follow-up?

Failed items are flagged automatically and can trigger notifications to management or schedule a follow-up inspection; the system tracks all exceptions in a centralized log.

Q: Can we generate reports for specific sites or date ranges?

Yes. Reports are generated on demand from live data and can be filtered by site, inspector, date range, or inspection type; no manual collation required.

Faster turnaround and zero missed checklist items, from job creation to signed-off report.
