Android field app

    Inspect, report an incident, run a toolbox talk: all with no signal

    Underground, on a plant or at a remote site, the app works without a connection and syncs when it is opened back in range. On Google Play for Android.

    Is there an inspection app that works offline underground?

    The app your people carry. Home with the weather safety card, inspections and the runners, the three-step sign-off with a signature, reporting an issue with photos, the Safety actions, shifts with the fitness gate, and working offline: the app keeps a working set for up to seven days so the shift carries on when the signal does not.

    01What's in the app

    What the inspector, the supervisor and the artisan carry

    Inspections, incidents, documents and training on the Safety & Compliance edition; jobs and clock-in on the Operations plan.

    Inspections with no signal

    Your checklists with photo, video and a signature on each item. Queued on the phone and synced when the app is opened back in range.

    Incidents and near misses

    Report an incident, a near miss or an observation with photos and video, offline. Toolbox talks with a roster, too.

    QR label per asset

    Scan the label to open the asset, its inspection history and open issues, or to start its inspection (needs a connection for the lookup).

    Jobs and sign-off (Operations plan)

    A technician sees only their own jobs, starts and completes them, and signs off with photos and parts used. On the Operations plan.

    02The field app

    Scan the label. Run the checklist. The failed item becomes an issue.

    • Scan a QR label to open the asset and its inspection history
    • Run the checklist with photo, video and a signature on each item
    • A failed item raises a tracked issue with a due date on the spot; a manager assigns the owner
    • Assigned inspections show on My Day with their due dates
    03Documents and SpecBot

    The current procedure and the asset's manual, in the pocket

    The current version of each document reads offline, and acknowledging it is recorded by version. SpecBot on the asset answers from that asset's manuals and history.

    • Documents: the current version offline, with read-and-acknowledge by version
    • Scan a paper document to PDF on the phone
    • SpecBot on the asset, grounded on its manuals and history (a cached summary offline)

    04Evidence

    Photos, notes and signatures, on the record

    Every inspection produces a signed PDF with its photos, and a hash-chained history of who signed and amended it that you can verify from the phone or the dashboard.

    • Photo and video on each item, with the time captured
    • A drawn signature to sign off the inspection
    • Severity on every issue, which sets its due date
    05Built for the field

    No signal? No problem.

    One online warm-up caches the checklists and assets; after that the app works underground, on a platform or at a remote site.

    Offline, then synced

    Inspections, incidents, toolbox talks and drill attendance queue on the phone and sync when the app is opened back in range. There is no background sync while the app is closed.

    Role-based access

    A field user sees their own inspections, documents and training. Roles are enforced in the database, not only in the app.

    06Questions

    Offline, photos and GPS: asked before choosing

    On Google Play: search for Inspecable, or open the link on this page from an Android phone. Sign in with the account your organisation set up, or start a 14-day trial first. There is no iPhone app; the web dashboard runs in any browser.

    Inspecable’s Android app runs whole inspections with no signal: the checklist, photos, video and the signature. Incidents, near misses, toolbox talks and drill attendance queue offline too. Everything syncs when the app is opened back in range. The first sign-in needs a connection so your checklists and assets are cached on the phone.

    Inspecable records the phone’s location when an inspection starts and when it is completed, if location access is on, and stores it with the inspection. Photos and video on each item carry the time they were taken. With no signal the location is still recorded; the street address is looked up once the phone is back in range.

    Judge it on your own worst site: run your checklist on a phone in flight mode and see what reaches the dashboard afterwards. Inspecable does that on Android with photos, video, location and a signed PDF per inspection. It has no iPhone app, so an iPhone-only team should look elsewhere.

    A failed item raises a tracked issue with a due date on the spot, offline, with its photo. When the phone syncs, a manager assigns the owner on the web and it becomes a corrective action on the same register as incidents and audit findings.
