USE CASE

Digitize field-based quality inspections

Easily standardize and automate digital quality inspections, even for your field teams.

Cut paper use – and workloads

Eliminate paper inspections’ siloed data, time-wasting (and error-prone) transcription, and communication gaps. Create easy digital inspection processes so workers aren’t tempted to revert to paper. Perform inspections – even where there’s no signal – that capture location information automatically.

Boost supervision and support

Guide your field team in real-time to quickly identify issues that cause rework and downtime. Ensure adherence to quality standards by capturing photos and video that show remote managers what’s happening on the ground. Provide reference materials to make your worker’s handheld a field bible.

Improve inspection performance

Implement easy-to-use digital quality inspection processes that go beyond checklists with easy-to-use picklists, photos, and references. Avoid confusion by showing only the steps needed based on current conditions.

Enable data-driven improvement

Use the inspection data you collect to better coach your team and make more informed decisions, improving quality and reducing the risk of rework. Promote organization-wide quality improvement using actionable insights from real-time reports, performance dashboards, and location-aware analytics.

We drive success by making captured data actionable, because data by itself is just a pile of information. We can use it as part of our long term planning. We can use it to help recognize patterns, and then take corrective actions.
