Effectively managing inspections is necessary for government agencies to ensure compliance, safety, and operational efficiency. Accela’s Inspection Management solution uses real-time tracking capabilities to empower back-office staff, field inspectors, and external stakeholders like developers and citizens.
Streamlined Back-Office Operations
The back-office component of the Accela platform provides unparalleled ease for managing inspection-related information. This centralized approach simplifies workflows, reduces errors, and provides actionable insights to ensure no inspection details fall through the cracks. Staff can leverage:
- Global and Advanced Search Tools to quickly locate specific inspections, leveraging robust search filters and saved searches.
- Record-Based Inspection History to see a comprehensive timeline of past inspections tied to a particular record.
- Customizable Dashboards and Reports to monitor key metrics, identify trends, and make informed decisions using real-time data.
Empowering Field Inspectors with Mobile Tools
Field staff can use the Accela Mobile app on their iOS, Android, or Windows devices (i.e., smartphones, tablets, and laptops). These tools ensure that field staff can respond in real-time, maintain accurate records, and enhance overall service delivery. Key features include the following:
- Powerful Search Functionality to Locate records and inspections using advanced filters.
- Interactive Mapping to plot search results on a map for better spatial awareness and navigation.
- On-the-Go Updates to review photos, videos, comments, and notes; update records; and generate or reprint documentation directly from the field.
Benefits of Real-Time Tracking
Real-time inspections tracking offers multiple advantages including:
- Improved Transparency: Stakeholders can monitor inspection statuses at any time using the back-office platform, mobile application, and online portal.
- Enhanced Collaboration: Both office staff and field inspectors stay connected through synchronized data. Key stakeholders receive automatic notifications when updates occur.
