PLATFORM
Four modules. One inspection record.
Schedule the inspection, run it live, review the frames, issue the report, and keep it all against the building or vessel. Each module hands its output to the next, so nothing is typed twice.
OVERVIEW
Work moves in one direction. Booked before the day, decided live, reviewed at the desk, filed on the record.
01SCHEDULE
The inspection is set up before anyone travels. One booking holds the date, window, site, operator and what must be covered.
Everyone is invited from the booking, with one link each. The operator reads the notes before take-off. Findings are tagged later, during review.
Scope in plain words.
What everyone sees in the session and on the report.
Date and window.
Agreed once, for everyone.
Operator.
Your operator, with availability shown.
Guests invited next.
One link each, from the booking.
