Inspection reports without paper and retyping

The sentence it all started with

“Our technicians fill out inspection reports on paper, and someone retypes them in the office, often weeks later and with questions about the handwriting.”

This sketch is an example. We wrote the sentence; the concept was generated by an AI and edited by us; our renderer draws it.

ConceptInspection and quality

Inspection Folder

Fill out inspection reports at the equipment, get them signed, and have them in the office instantly.

How we understood your problem

The report is created twice: once on paper at the equipment, once when retyped in the office. In between lie weeks in which a defect goes unnoticed. Photos sit on personal phones, signatures on carbon copies.

Who it's for

  • TechnicianWorks through inspection points on a tablet, photographs defects, gets them signed.
  • Back officeSees completed reports instantly and schedules defect repairs.

Roadmap

  1. Stage 1

    One template

    The most common equipment type can be inspected on a tablet, with signature and PDF.

  2. Stage 2

    Defects

    Photos, severity levels and one shared list of open defects.

  3. Stage 3

    All templates

    The business maintains its own templates; inspections work offline too.

Core features

  • Inspection templatesOne checklist per equipment type, maintained by the business itself.
  • Defect with photoPhoto, severity and note attach directly to the inspection point.
  • On-site signatureThe operator signs on the tablet; the PDF is then unchangeable.
  • Works offlineFill it out in the boiler room, sync happens automatically later.
  • Open defectsOne list across all equipment, sorted by severity.

Deliberately left out

  • No route planning: appointments come from the existing calendar and are just linked.
  • No invoicing: the report goes as a PDF to the existing invoicing system.
  • No free-form builder: templates consist of inspection points, nothing more is needed.

In this product: no AI

None. An inspection report is evidence; what counts is what the technician saw.

What the AI explicitly does not doNo inspection result is suggested or filled in. Empty points stay visibly empty.

Integrations

  • Calendar
  • Invoicing software (PDF)
  • Email sending

Three questions we would ask you first

  1. How many different report templates really exist today, and who changes them?

  2. Does any client require a specific format or its own forms?

  3. How long must reports be retained, and who may access them later?
