MobileDataforce®
a leading provider of business critical mobile software applications today announced
they were selected by Canyon County, Idaho to provide a Mobile Automated Building
Inspection system. The purpose of this mobile solution is to help control costs
related to inspections by improving the efficiency of the County's building
staff and the administrative staff they work with on a daily basis. This will
be accomplished by replacing the paper based system for conducting and reporting
inspections with an automated and mobilized system. The mobilized system will
synchronize and integrate with the existing permitting and inspection request
system used today.
The Mobile Automated Building Inspection system, using MobileDataforce's PointSync
Mobility Platform, will dispatch to the inspectors' mobile devices a list of
inspections to be conducted each day. While still on the construction site,
inspectors will be able to file their reports and synchronize with the central
office database.
Expected cost savings will come from reduced fuel consumption, reduced mobile
phone usage, minimized overtime pay and reduced administrative work. Additional
benefits will come from improved contractor communications, more accurate and
timely reports and near-real time information.
