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
