A green box closes it: Created from work order 00012345, Mon 11 Aug, 9:12 AM, in real time._ _[ 02 ]_ ### Inspector qualifications Check certification, territory, availability, and route fit before assigning the visit. _Illustration: Skedulo card on a hatched ground for the inspectors on job #4809, 3 of 4 assigned: crew leader Aaron Feldman, dispatched; members Andre Bassett, dispatched, and Brooke Feeney, confirmed._ _[ 03 ]_ ### Routes and property access Balance due dates, property access, travel time, and urgent work across the day. _Illustration: Skedulo job panel on a hatched ground for JOB-4821, a pre-purchase building inspection, Wed 13 Aug, 2:00 - 3:30 PM, en route: Route information open - 5.8 miles, arriving 2:42 PM, a 6 minute delay in heavy traffic - over its milestones: Confirmed at 9:41 AM, En route at 2:10 PM with the SMS sent, then Arrived on site, Job in progress and Job complete still to come._ _[ 04 ]_ ### Inspection findings Guide the inspector through checklists, findings, photos, notes, and signatures on mobile. _Illustration: Skedulo mobile job completion page on an iPhone for the quarterly site inspection JOB-4803: the work completed is typed in - inspection done, fire door closer replaced - two materials land, a heavy duty door closer and a lockout tag and padlock, above the follow-up the inspection raised, JOB-4871 for Aaron Feldman, and site contact Helen Pryor's signature lands. Complete job turns green, is pressed, and becomes a green notice: completed at 5:21pm._ _[ 05 ]_ ### Corrective work and reinspection Configure corrective tasks, notifications, or reinspections with an owner and due date. _Illustration: Skedulo Form Builder, page 5 of 5, Sign-off: under the Overall outcome drop-down, a display rule - show these fields when Overall outcome is Pass with actions, or Site condition is Restricted - with a switch between AND and OR that flips to OR, and the line under it reading Shown when either answer matches. Indented under the rule, the follow-up fields it shows: Follow-up reason, Return by, and Photo of the issue, which drops in._ _[ 06 ]_ ### Connected program records Use integrations to share results with the inspection, asset, or compliance system your program uses. _Illustration: Skedulo integration activity for JOB-4803, Complete, completed Wed 13 Aug, 5:21 PM, results going out in turn. To Salesforce, real time: work order 00012345 status Completed, Pass with Actions, Follow-up JOB-4871. To Finance, real time: completed work sent for invoicing, 2 materials, on site 1h 18m. To Workday, scheduled 6:00 PM: approved hours for Gloria Benitez, 1h 47m, travel 27 min. Each moves from Sending to Synced, then 3 of 3 delivered._ _Tempo_ ## Review due inspections with Tempo. Plan inspector assignments and follow up on deficiencies with Tempo. Your program sets requirements and approves outcomes; its available actions depend on your setup. [Meet Tempo](https://www.skedulo.com/product/tempo/) _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo working a failed visit from its issue: Callum Reid finds the sprinkler riser room at Pioneer Health Systems' 1160 Pioneer Way campus locked, with the annual inspection due Fri 15 Aug and the key with the engineers. The issue lands in amber on a blank screen and becomes the task's header; Tempo reads the no-access report, the due window and Callum's day, and the context panel opens on the campus map and the inspection. Tempo picks a 1:00 PM return; once the dispatcher starts the plan it asks for an engineer with the key, rebooks the inspection and moves Callum's next visit up._ _The Toolkit_ ## Qualified inspection coverage and open deficiencies. ### Due-work priority queue Prioritize inspections by due date, property risk, and available certified capacity. _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo's shared Issues inbox on a soft blue card, 37 active, three issues with who has each and its time to act: Gloria Benitez running late to JOB-4821, with You, 36m; Doug Lindqvist called out, JOB-4841 uncovered, with Tempo, 1h 4m; Hoa Pham double-booked around JOB-4858, with Jen Alvarez, 2h 40m._ ### Inspector qualification matching Use recorded certifications, territory coverage, and visit windows when planning assignments. _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo's options for covering JOB-4841 on a pale blue panel, first ranked by earliest arrival. The scheduler tells Tempo what matters - keep Dana's window, then least travel - and Tempo re-ranks: Gloria Benitez rises to the top, in the window and 6 minutes away, picked for least travel; Bridget Hanley drops to second, in the window with 30 minutes of overtime; Aaron Feldman misses the window. The ranking now reads Dana's window, then least travel._ ### Mobile inspection checklists Configure system-specific checklists with photos, notes, and signatures. _Illustration: Skedulo mobile inspection form card: Enclosure intact and Labels legible marked Pass, then Isolator latches off marked Fail, and a dashed section opens under it - the Issue field, typed in as Isolator will not latch off, and a Fault photo field that takes its requirement: its empty tile turns rose and reads Required to submit._ ### Deficiency workflows Configure corrective tasks and reinspections with an owner and due date. _Illustration: Skedulo visual automation builder card, Failed check follow-up: of three trigger kinds - record change, time and recurring - Record change is chosen and the trigger fills, Site checklist submitted; its edge draws down with the condition If a check failed riding it, the action lands - Create a follow-up job - and takes its approval by Wade Brennan; then the switch in the card's head turns on and the chain lights blue._ ### Closeout visibility Track missing evidence and overdue follow-up before reviewing a closeout. _Illustration: Analytics tile: 97% clean closeouts of 312 completed jobs, up 1 point, with a bar each for forms complete 99%, photos attached 95% and sign-off captured 96% - the photos bar filling from 94%._ ## AWP improved scheduling and dispatch efficiency 86% for a screened field team. - **Before** - Paper-based scheduling meant job confirmations could take more than six hours. - Five acquisitions in two years meant the manual process scaled with every new office. - **With Skedulo** - Skedulo native to Salesforce lets the team create, dispatch, and track jobs in real time. - Schedulers see who's working, who's en route, and what's complete at any point in the day. - **Outcome** - 86% more efficient scheduling and dispatch, with job acceptance confirmed in half the time. - A process that used to take seven people now runs with one. > We're able to make sound business decisions that better all parties involved, that better our protectors, better our customers, better our company and our shareholders. > > — Jarrod Wachter, Vice President Field Operations, AWP - **86%** — more efficient scheduling and dispatch [Read Story](https://www.skedulo.com/customers/area-wide-protective/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How do fire inspection programs keep recurring inspections from going overdue? Maintain each inspection's due date and required qualifications, then plan available inspector capacity around access and travel. Review outstanding visits regularly. Scheduling supports the program; it does not establish regulatory compliance. ### Can Skedulo schedule inspectors by fire, alarm, sprinkler or extinguisher qualification? Yes. Each inspection can require a recorded qualification, such as a sprinkler or alarm certification, and scheduling matches it to inspectors who hold one, alongside territory, availability and visit windows. Your team maintains and verifies the certification records. ### Can inspectors record deficiencies with photos on site? Yes. Inspectors work through system-specific checklists on mobile and capture findings, photos, notes and signatures during the visit. A missing photo, signature or required field can be flagged before the record is marked complete. ### What happens to a deficiency after the inspection? Set up corrective tasks or reinspections with an owner, due date, and the original evidence. Configure the review steps your program requires before accepting correction. A completed visit does not by itself close a deficiency. ### How does Skedulo compare with fire inspection software like Inspect Point or BuildingReports? Use Skedulo to schedule inspectors, capture field records, and coordinate follow-up. Confirm the checklists, report formats, and external submissions your program needs, including any specialist reporting system and configured connection. _Keep Exploring_ ## Explore related products, inspection programs, and use cases. ### Products - [Skedulo Intelligence](https://www.skedulo.com/product/skedulo-intelligence/) - [Field Scheduling](https://www.skedulo.com/product/field-scheduling/) - [Forms & Checklists](https://www.skedulo.com/product/forms-checklists/) - [Frontline Mobile App](https://www.skedulo.com/product/mobile/) - [Workflow](https://www.skedulo.com/platform/workflow/) - [Analytics](https://www.skedulo.com/product/analytics/) ### Inspection Programs - [Building, Property & Code Inspections](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/inspections-safety/building-property-code-inspections/) - [Environmental, Health & Safety](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/inspections-safety/environmental-health-safety/) - [Compliance Audits & Risk Assessments](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/inspections-safety/compliance-audits-risk-assessments/) ### Use Cases - [Task Management](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/task-management/) - [Communication & Messaging](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/communication-messaging/) - [Asset Management](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/asset-management/) - [Inspections & Forms](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/inspections-forms/) ## See Skedulo for fire inspection programs.
