Live tracking keeps you in step with every inspection detail

In the world of inspections, real-time updates are crucial. Whether in the field or behind a desk, knowing the current status of each inspection element is essential. Detect’s tailored inspection workflow meticulously guides you from data capture in the field to the nuanced analysis by industry experts, and finally, to the review and approval stages. With our live tracking feature, you’re not just observing the process; you are a part of it. This continuous stream of updates is critical, especially when multiple teams rely on the outcomes at each stage of the inspection.
