Managing Inspections and Decreasing Travel Time

From the field to the office, to the field again - that’s often the daily journey of a construction inspector. When construction teams rely on disconnected tools for inspection, travel time can eat up the day and the need to enter data twice can lead to human error.
SOLVE THIS ISSUE

Are your field personnel experiencing challenges with traditional inspection methods?

When we talk to engineering firms and local agencies, we often hear about the following challenges with inspections:

  • Spending more time on the road than in the field due to the need to travel somewhere to enter data

  • Writing daily reports by hand can lead to errors in transcription during duplicate data entry

  • Needing to capture data at the job site and then re-enter it is a time-consuming inefficiency

How Appia helps by supporting mobile field data capture

Appia is a cloud-based construction administration and inspection platform that can be used offline in the field. Appia offers the following functionality to resolve challenges with inspections:

  • Capture site conditions, prime and sub workforce, item quantities, locations, and more, all from your mobile device or tablet

  • Seamlessly sync daily report information back to the office right from your truck

  • Use daily report templates and automatic calculations to ensure the accuracy of your inspection data

Field inspection testimonials

Inspectors can be more effective with their hours - as opposed to sitting in a trailer trying to do a pay app or checking paperwork, they can be in the field actually monitoring quality and giving a better product to the owner.

Instead of inspectors having to handwrite on a piece of paper, come back to the office, type it up, print it, and then hand it to me at the end of the week, we use Appia for real-time access, which is a huge time-saver.

If we use an example of one person traveling to 20 projects to check reports, we’re probably saving close to $100,000 a month in travel expenses.
