With tight budgets, manual processes and limited staff, today’s governmental agencies just can’t get to inspecting every facility that may need enforcement. When an inspection is scheduled, data from previous inspections, permits, and compliance activities may be difficult to collect and combine, limiting the visibility into a facility’s track record. After an inspection, site status reports can take time to create, slowing a staff’s overall effectiveness.
nSPECT is a mobile-powered inspection solution that is designed to simplify and speed up both onsite inspections and the follow-up office work. Its app, available on mobile and desktop devices, simplifies how inspection reporting is gathered. Through its intuitive design, an inspector can easily enter data during a site visit, and, after the inspection, quickly generate reports for staff review and submission.
Every agency has its own requisites to what is needed for an inspection report. nSPECT includes an intuitive design tool so that staff can customize inspection forms themselves without relying on IT.
No longer is there a need to bring to a site a clipboard, GPS device, or camera: by using a tablet or phone, the nSPECT app includes every tool needed for an inspection. Within the app it’s easy to collect data, record violations, add comments, take a photo, record video or audio, and tag exact GPS coordinates.
If the internet is not available at a site, the nSPECT app stores any collected information, and when a connection becomes available, it automatically uploads the new information to a secured agency server.
Because inspectors can easily collect all the data and evidence they need right into the app, there is no need to manually re-enter inspection findings back at the office.
When nSPECT is combined with Windsor’s nVIRO, staff can easily review, edit and clean up the data collected from the site, finalize reports, and issue any non-compliance notifications right from a dashboard.
nSPECT is offered as a standalone app or as a component of nVIRO, Windsor’s flagship solution that addresses the full permitting regulatory lifecycle. Through a single connected solution, historical site data is seamlessly pre-populated into nSPECT, such as site information, permit details, or previous compliance history. Data collected during inspections such as – violations, photos, videos, and audio documentation – is automatically added into the nVIRO system. When it’s time for a next inspection, notifications are sent to designated staff members. Also, inspection findings can be used to trigger enforcement actions and automate workflow activities within nVIRO. With nVIRO, your agency accesses more comprehensive reports and has better visibility across regulated entities, making it easier for staff to prioritize and stay proactive.
