Inspection management software helps companies plan, implement, and monitor inspection tasks for quality assurance, environmental protection, as well as health and safety. This type of software is used by companies in heavily regulated industries such as manufacturing, construction, and energy. By using inspection management software, these companies can deliver high-quality products, protect their employees, and maintain their fixed assets.
This type of software should not be confused with audit management software, which focuses on regulatory compliance. Since inspections are critical for quality and safety, inspection management software needs to integrate with quality management systems (QMS) and environmental health and safety (EHS) software.
To qualify for inclusion in the Inspection Management category, a product must:
Allow users to define, schedule, and track inspection tasks
Deliver procedures and workflows for inspection execution
Capture inspection data in multiple formats and from different sources
Monitor inspection results and identify nonconformance or violations
Integrate with QMS and EHS software
