Overview

13

Eliminate Paper and Reduce Costs

• Standardized inspection forms

• Enter data once

• No duplicate data entry

• Fewer resources needed to complete jobs

• Captures the inspector’s signature

• Automatically creates scaled map of the job site and ability to capture redline notes

Automated Field Data Entry Forms and Validation

Can I buy a tablet?

15

Or I will use an iPhone or iPad

16

Automate Field Asset Management • Create jobs based upon GIS or detailed asset data

• Create jobs through a direct connection to an existing work management system

• Automatically assign jobs to field technicians based upon work management system data

• Automatically synchronize field inspection data with the back-office asset management system
