Inspections

With Inspection Forms, your team can perform daily inspections, make fuel delivery entries, update asset locations, and more.    

Perform Anywhere

Get rid of that paper form and use your phone, tablet, or mobile laptop to perform inspections anywhere.   All inspection logs are immediately stored at an asset level for full team transparency and reliability.

Custom Forms

Start with any of our multiple prebuilt forms and customize them, or build your own.   YARDZ makes it easy to create inspection forms that capture the information you need from your operators.

Images and Notes

You can make it mandatory or optional for your team member to upload photos and add notes at any step of the inspection process.   Images are safely stored with that Inspection Log for later review as needed.

Location Updating

One of the many components you can add to your inspection forms is Location Updating.   When enabled, your inspectors' GPS location is captured from the devices and automatically changes the project location in YARDZ if the asset has moved.   This is especially useful for those assets that aren't yet equipped with GPS trackers.

Failing Notification

What if an inspection fails?   Instead of waiting for the paper to make it back to the office using the old method, YARDZ will immediately fire off notifications to all parties you deem relevant to that type of inspection.
