Industrial inspection management

From planning to Databook, without paper and without rework — with traceable evidence at every step.

The problem

An inspection that lives on paper and spreadsheets isn't auditable. The report arrives days later, the photo is on the phone of whoever went to the field, and when the client asks for the Databook someone spends two weeks reassembling the history. The real cost isn't filling forms in: it's the engineering hours spent reconstructing what was already done.

  • Reports arriving days after the inspection, once the work front has already moved on
  • Photographic evidence scattered across phones, with no link to the inspected point
  • Databook assembled by hand at the end of the project, under deadline pressure
  • Non-conformities that only surface during the client's audit
  • Rework nobody can quantify because there's no history

Who it's for

Quality coordinators

Who need to prove conformity with evidence, not from memory.

Field inspectors

Who work in areas without signal and can't depend on connectivity.

Contract managers

Who answer for the Databook and for documentation deadlines.

Auditors and end clients

Who need to trace a weld or a coating point back to the original evidence.

How it works

01
Schedule the inspection

Define scope by process, area or discipline, with acceptance criteria taken from the applicable standard.

02
Run it in the field, offline

The inspector fills it in on a phone or tablet, attaches photos and signs — with no signal required.

03
Approve with traceability

The report uploads as soon as there's a connection and follows the configured approval flow, recording who approved what.

04
Generate the Databook

Final documentation is ready at any moment, not only at project close-out.

What's included

Process-level scheduling

Inspections organized by discipline, area and construction stage, with acceptance criteria built in.

Offline-first app

Works in areas without coverage and syncs when the connection returns, losing no records.

Evidence bound to the point

Each photo stays attached to the inspected item, not to a loose folder.

Configurable approval flow

Who approves what, in what order, with date and owner recorded.

Non-conformity management

Opening, treatment and effectiveness verification in the same place as the finding.

One-click Databook

Automatic compilation of documentation, in the format the contract requires.

Measurable gains

Days → minutes
from inspection to available report
100%
of evidence linked to the inspected point
Zero
manual Databook reassembly at close-out
Auditable
full history of who approved what, and when

Integrations

  • Databook export as PDF and structured package
  • Automatic report delivery to the client by email
  • ERP integration for progress measurement
  • API to consume inspection data in BI tools

Standards covered

ISO 9001NR-13ASMEAPI

Inspections are configured with the acceptance criteria of the standard applicable to the contract, and the Databook is produced in the format required by the client's oversight team.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work without internet in the field?

Yes. The app is offline-first: the inspector fills in, photographs and signs without a connection, and everything syncs automatically once signal returns. No record is lost in between.

Can we use our own inspection forms?

Yes. Reports are built from your templates, including the fields and criteria your contract requires. You don't have to adapt your process to the software.

How does traceability work for audits?

Every record stores who filled it in, when, where and with what evidence, plus the approval history. In an audit you can start from an inspected point and reach the original photo in a few clicks.

Does the Databook come out in the format our client requires?

Yes. Compilation follows the structure defined in the contract, and can be generated at any point during the project — not only at close-out.

How long does implementation take?

Initial configuration of forms and approval flow usually takes a few days. Field use needs little training, because the interface follows the same sequence as the paper form.

Social proof

CheckFlow was born inside a real inspection operation, not from a requirements document. The origin of the product is written up and available to read.
