If you’re still using pen and paper to complete fire inspections, it’s probably time to hop on the tech bandwagon and look into a solution that offers mobile technology in addition to paperless inspections.

Here are the top reasons why you should consider ditching the pen and paper and making the switch to Inspect Point and its mobile app for iPads.

Get More Done

Are you still wasting time and money on paper inspection reports?  Consider all the time your company wastes every week downloading and printing forms, writing up reports, filing and searching for documents, not to mention the money you spend on all of these things.

When you choose Inspect Point, you’ll get a dedicated communication portal connected to the back end.  Your tech can get live updates from home base and make adjustments in the field, and your back end will receive reports as they are finished.
