Inspections or audits can be done for several reasons: quality control; compliance; safety; OSHA or other reasons, but regardless of the reason, technology can improve your performance. In web-based technology an inspection can be taken faster, inefficiencies can be eliminated and you can better manage issues.
Electronic inspections are done by using iPads, iPhones, Android smart phones and tablets, Window Laptops, or Windows Tablets. When a failing item doesn’t pass in your stores, an automatic e-mail notification (Action Item or Work Order) can be sent to the responsible party immediately. Analytic reports can run immediately to measure how widespread the issue is. Compare this to the process of manually doing inspections and/or transferring the data into a database for running reports; how long would it take you to get the same results? The electronic process is considerably faster.
Efficiencies are created electronically by sending information directly to database where it needs to go, then allowing an immediate analytical report. If you are manually taking inspections, manually collecting the data, putting information manually in the computer, making calls and gather the data to produce a report, how much time are you wasting?
Organization is another advantage of electronic systems. When an inspection is taken or an action item generated electronically and the information is automatically stored where it is needs to be, then accessing needed information is quick and easy. Sending this information to whomever it needs to go, when it needs to go and how it needs to go can be done in minutes. Your service towards your customers becomes efficient and you can better manage small and large customer issues.
By using electronic systems for taking inspections, you service your customer faster and better, you save costs of inefficiencies, you can better manage issues that arise and you serve your customers better.
