What do inspection companies gain from VIEWAPP digital inspection technology?

Imagine a situation where there is a lot of machinery in very remote locations, for example far north.

However, such machinery needs to be checked from time to time to ensure that it is available and in good working order for a company that uses such expensive and very specific machinery for essential work (e.g. mining) but whose head office is located at a significant distance from the machinery.

In pre-digital times, it would have been necessary to organise an entire "expedition" to this end, which would mean providing a special person - an inspector (many inspectors, depending on the fleet and its location), as well as paying for all the necessary expenses to have this specialist on-site with all the budgetary consequences that this entails for the company. In practice, this means sending staff on business trips, with funds allocated both for transport and for the person's physical presence in an inaccessible area.

The specialist must have the necessary knowledge in order to verify and record the fact that the special equipment is not only available, but also in working (or other) condition, in accordance with all company regulations.

That is, the controlling organisation not only needs to maintain a staff of such specialists, but also to have a huge budget for such regular inspections at all times. However, the situation may take on a whole different complexion with the availability of technology that enables such very sophisticated inspections to be carried out remotely, and most importantly, fraud-protected.

Needless to say - the objects of inspection are not always in the state you are looking for, and moments of falsification of facts to avoid personal responsibility are not excluded, which means that if a company had the appropriate technology to catch negative moments of losing its resources, its financial situation would gain new control and monitoring potential - which is how an effective inspection tool plays a crucial role in discipline and responsibility.

The VIEWAPP digital inspection platform is such a technology - the latest development allows inspections of any complexity in the shortest possible time using just a mobile app. To ensure these digital benefits, inspection scenarios are pre-designed, with all the specifics and requirements for the results laid down, and built-in security guards ensure authenticity - meaning photos and video material will avoid tampering altogether.

VIEWAPP digital remote safety inspection technology not only automates the inspection process for company staff but also, by further developing the process, delegates the inspection process to end users - in our example directly to the users of the machinery itself or to those in charge. The whole secret lies in the elaboration of the scenario, where all the steps are written down with tips at every moment to minimize mistakes and make the process not only highly technological, but also extremely user-friendly.

The end result is a fast and secure inspection of all necessary objects, requiring a minimum of effort: the web platform has implemented the necessary inspection scenario with details, then the mobile app directly performs the inspection, examination is remotely made and the result is an electronic document signed with a digital signature with all the details of the inspection and expert opinion. This approach not only has an immediate economic effect on the business in the form of eliminating unnecessary costs of doing business, but is also an absolutely revolutionary approach to carrying out activities, where processes become more profitable, more transparent, clearer, less routine for staff and easier to use on a daily basis.
