The challenge

Paper forms, no internet

Inspectors worked with paper checklists on construction sites without internet connection. Forms got damaged or lost. Photos were taken separately and manually linked later. Writing reports took hours at the office.

Reports manually typed at the office

The solution

Inspection app that works everywhere

A mobile app with SQLite as local database. Inspectors fill out checklists, take photos and record deviations. Everything works without internet. As soon as there is connection, data syncs to the server and the system automatically generates a PDF report.

Offline checklists with local SQLite storage
Link photos directly to inspection items
Automatic PDF reporting after synchronization
GPS location recorded at every inspection
Track deviations with follow-up reminders

Features

From construction site to report

Digital Checklists

Inspection forms with yes/no questions, free text fields and mandatory sections. Checklists are configurable per inspection type by the administrator.

Offline Mode

The app stores everything locally via SQLite. Inspectors continue working without internet connection. Upon recovery, data automatically syncs with the server.

Photo Support

Take photos directly from the checklist. Photos are linked to the specific inspection item. Notes on the photo provide extra context.

Reporting and Export

Afterwards the app generates a PDF report with all findings and photos. Reports are automatically sent to the client.

Location Tracking

GPS records the inspection location. On the map you can see where each inspection took place. Useful for audits and feedback.

Deviation Management

When a deviation occurs, the inspector records severity, photo and action. The app tracks open deviations and sends reminders for follow-up.
