Introduction

Managing and addressing defects efficiently is crucial for maintaining project quality and minimising downtime. However, traditional methods of documenting and reporting defects can be slow, error-prone, and lack real-time visibility. Dashpivot's Defect Photos app offers a streamlined solution by enabling quick photo documentation, standardising reporting formats, and centralising defect records in one secure system.

This app simplifies the process of capturing, organising, and communicating defect-related information between on-site workers and management, ensuring swift responses and better prioritisation based on defect severity and impact.

How it works

Key Features

  • Capture and attach photos directly to defect reports, providing visual context to aid in quicker understanding and resolution.

  • Ensure consistency in defect documentation by using customisable templates, reducing the risk of miscommunication.

  • All defect reports are securely stored in a single system, making it easy to access historical data, sort defects by priority, and track resolution progress.

  • Document and manage defects from anywhere using the mobile or tablet app, empowering teams to act quickly in the field.

Best Practices

  • Always attach clear, well-lit photos to defect reports to provide context and reduce back-and-forth inquiries.

  • Turn on photo stamp preferences for a more professional output.

  • Use photo tags to define defect type, location, and severity which enable easy filtering.

  • Create a master defect reporting template and standardise it across all projects to ensure uniform data collection and reporting.
