Core modules

Core inspection management software modules

The modules most inspection teams start with, all working from one record per site and inspection.

Clipboard with a checklist of pass and fail items, standing for digital inspection checklists

Digital inspection checklists and templates

Build a template for each inspection type, with pass, fail and not applicable answers, required photos on failed items and a new version saved whenever a template changes.

Inspection scheduling and assignment

Plan routine inspections by site, frequency and inspector, add ad hoc ones from a complaint or request, and see every due and overdue inspection on one calendar.

Mobile inspection app

Inspectors complete the checklist on a phone or tablet, take photos, collect signatures on site and submit, and the inspection report is generated as soon as they finish.

Findings and severity

Each failed item becomes a finding with its location, photos and a severity level you define, and critical findings alert a supervisor before the inspector leaves the site.

Corrective and preventive actions

Give every finding a corrective action with an owner and a due date, record preventive actions against root causes, and close each one only with evidence attached.

Folder of inspection reports with a magnifying glass, standing for re-inspections and inspection records

Re-inspections and inspection records

Book a re-inspection when an action is closed, compare the result with the original findings, and keep every inspection, photo and signature as a record for audits.

Inspection app

Mobile inspection app for phones and tablets

The inspection app gives inspectors the checklist, the site history and earlier findings on a phone or tablet. Answers, photos and signatures are saved against each item as they are captured, and where sites have poor signal we can build the app to work offline and upload once it reconnects.

  • Photos taken in the app and attached to the item they show, with notes marked on them
  • Signatures from the inspector and the site representative captured on screen
  • Follow-up questions shown only when an earlier answer calls for them
  • The report sent to the site contact the moment the inspection is submitted
  • AI features can draft finding descriptions from the inspector's notes for review

Questions

Inspection management software FAQs

Inspection management software runs an inspection from checklist to closed finding. Look for templates, scheduling, a mobile app with photos and signatures, severity levels, corrective actions with owners, re-inspections, reports and a full audit trail.

Audit management software plans and runs internal and supplier audits: the audit programme, checklists, evidence, nonconformities, corrective actions and reports. Ours runs audits and inspections in one system, sharing the same findings and actions.

The inspection app runs on any phone or tablet, with photos and signatures saved to each checklist item. Where your sites have poor signal, we can build it to work offline and upload results once it reconnects.

Each finding gets a corrective action with an owner and a due date set by its severity. Reminders go out until evidence is uploaded, a supervisor signs it off, and a re-inspection can be booked to confirm the fix.

Cost depends on scope: the inspection types and modules in the first phase, the records to migrate and the systems to connect. We quote after a scoping session and price each phase separately. Call 6581 3431 to discuss yours.

It depends on the first phase. A release covering checklists, scheduling and the inspection app goes live sooner than a full build with audits and portals, and we give you a schedule once the scope is agreed.

We turn your paper checklists into digital templates and import your spreadsheets of sites, assets and open findings. You check a test import first, then we load the final data on a cut-off date you agree.

Our solutions are eligible for government grants. We explain how the schemes apply to your project and what the agency looks for, so you can budget with the full picture in front of you.

The system connects to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, WhatsApp Business, SMS gateways and DocuSign, and to your asset, property or maintenance systems through their APIs. Tell us what you run and we will scope each connection.

AI features can be added, each built in its own phase on your own records. They cover drafted findings and reports, document reading, WhatsApp and email replies, data questions, forecasts and repeat finding checks, all reviewed by staff.

The system supports your PDPA obligations through permissions, activity logs and access controls. Inspectors, contractors and audited parties see only what their role allows, and every change is logged, while your own policies do the rest.
