Introduction

Inspection photos are critical in ensuring compliance with industry standards and providing visual evidence of completed inspections. However, traditional methods of uploading photos to a PC, manually attaching them to inspection reports, and annotating them are time-consuming and prone to inefficiencies. These delays can impact the overall workflow and slow down decision-making processes.

The Inspection Photos app simplifies and streamlines this process, allowing inspectors to efficiently capture, organise, annotate, and share inspection photos in real-time. With features like offline functionality, photo markup, and PDF exports, the app ensures inspections are completed accurately and efficiently, both in the field and at the office.

How it works

Key Features

  • Capture high-resolution inspection photos directly within the app, providing clear evidence of compliance or non-compliance.

  • Add descriptive tags to photos, making it easier to categorise and search for specific images related to items or areas inspected.

  • Annotate photos with text, arrows, or highlights to emphasise critical details, making reports more informative and actionable.

  • Work seamlessly in offline mode when network access is unavailable, with automatic syncing once reconnected to the internet.

  • Quickly generate and share professional inspection reports in PDF format, complete with annotated photos, notes, and signatures.

Best Practices

  • Create and use a standardised inspection template that includes predefined checklist items and inspection criteria.

  • Apply descriptive tags to photos, such as “Compliant,” “Non-compliant,” or specific location names, to improve searchability and streamline record management.

  • Use markup tools to add notes, arrows, or highlights to photos, ensuring important details are communicated in the inspection report.

  • Ensure important details, such as the date, and location, are enabled for photo stamps.
