Mobile Inspection Software and Handheld PDAs in City Government

MobileDataforce has worked with a lot of municipal governments on mobilizing inspections using isnpection software designed for handheld PDAs. Here is a list of the departments in a typical city that conduct regular inspections:

• City Engineering
• City Land Use
• City Forestry
• City Historic Development
• City “Right-of-Way”
• City Traffic Engineers
• City Building Inspectors
• City Fire Marshall
• City Electrical Inspectors
• City Mechanical Inspectors
• City Plumbing Inspectors

Many of these departments may have multiple inspections they must perform. In the Fire Marshall department alone they have quite the selection:

• Fire Alarm
• Cooking Equipment
• Wall Rating
• Wall Penetrations
• Above Ceiling
• Exit and Emergency Lights
• Sprinklers
• Panic Hardware
• Standpipe
• Emergency Extinguishers
• Many more…

These departments and their associated inspections represent a lot of field data collection activities and internal office data entry. It is easy to see why MobileDataforce provides a lot of mobile inspection software to these agencies and departments.
