Inspect2GO, a mobile application development company, is offering an innovative technology for conducting regulatory compliance and safety inspections for OSHA, USDA, FDA, FEMA, EPA, DOT, MIL, ISO, NFPA, DOE, CFR and more. The mobile apps are ideal for reporting on safety conditions and code violations, performing regulatory audits and maintaining quality standards. Instead of carrying clipboard, pen, and papers, you can easily and accurately generate a full report, with signatures, on site. The apps can be equipped with stylus for signatures and markups, digital image capture with GPS locations, and data transfer to server. The applications are customized to meet each new client's request, and can be adapted to work with regulatory agency standards, military related concerns, and general safety issues.

Key functional elements of the app are: 
(1)    Stylus - On-screen stylus (Android only) and finger-touch capabilities enable legal signatures, notes, pass/fail checklists, report/form generation 
(2)    Digital Capture - Digital photos can be captured and GPS locations recorded 
(3)    Reports - Reports can be generated in the field, saved to a mobile device, and sent via email to database/web server 
(4)    Custom - Apps can be developed with your distinct company forms, or for specific federal or state codes and regulations

Mobile apps are not a passing phase...they are here to stay, and for good reason. Creating regulatory/safety inspection reports in the field, using a mobile device, will revolutionize the safety inspection process. Let's consider a 29 CFR OSHA audit, for example. The old way required pen, paper, camera, and clipboard. Observations and notes were recorded in the field, and data was compiled, sorted, and filed in the office. A paper report was then generated signed, sent and filed. Wouldn't it be easier and more thorough to conduct all of these tasks in the field during your site walk? Inspect2GO is making this possible with new inspection app technology. Not only can you generate a report from the field, but you can sign, save, and email it, or integrate the data with your database on a server. The results are more organized, thorough, and precise than when performing the job with pen and paper. The apps save time and money.

This mobile app can be used by businesses in any industry conducting safety inspections and regulatory audits. Some of the general industries it may benefit are military, food, drug, medical, environmental, construction, marine, agriculture, manufacturing and transportation. Inspect2Go is a Southern California based mobile application developer. Their programmers work with all platforms, primarily focused on Apple iPhone/iPad, Android, Blackberry, and Windows 7. The company offers turnkey services, integrating its mobile apps with clients' back office systems and databases residing on servers.
