Your agency protects the public by following up on failed inspections. But what if your current system lacks the ability to perform that follow up? Without that support, inspectors must use a time-consuming manual reinspection process that can allow violators to slip through the cracks, potentially endangering the public. Regulatory agencies occasionally are sued following oversight lapses that lead to public harm. Your agency needs software that helps you protect the public with a comprehensive inspections and reinspections process.
Consequences of an insufficient reinspection process:
- Inspectors manually track the reinspection schedule.
- Inspectors miss resinspections.
- Enforcement cases slip through the cracks.
- Inspectors manually track the inspection requirements.
- Inspectors manually track violations to follow up on.
- Manual process takes time.
- Inspectors struggle to keep up with work.
- Agency incorrectly issues permits/licenses.
- Public exposed to harm.
- Process exposes agency to liability.
- Agency faces negative press.
