A deficiency isn't resolved when the repair is booked. Its supporting evidence stays attached to the repair, and service managers, schedulers and technicians each see the finding, the fix and the recheck. _Runs the operation_ ### Service manager Track due visits, recorded findings and corrective-work status across buildings.

Coverage lands a day at a time - Monday 100%, Tuesday 96%, Wednesday 100%, Thursday 98% - then Friday at 78%, flagged 2 short. Three things to plan for: Friday 22 Aug is 2 technicians short, Bridget Hanley and Hoa Pham on leave, Plan cover; refrigerant handling expires Tue 19 Aug for Doug Lindqvist, Book renewal; 4 jobs waiting for allocation, the first JOB-4419 on Mon 18 Aug, Allocate_ _[ 02 ]_ ### Technician qualifications Review recorded certifications, system experience, access, location, and availability. _Illustration: Skedulo job card for a rooftop package unit install in the North region, with four skill tags - HVAC Level 2, Rigging, Working at heights, Forklift licence - the site's building-clearance requirement, a Commerce City DC contractor badge, two empty slots for a team lead and a team member, and seven technicians along the foot. The Balanced Utilization recipe runs and finds 2 of 7 who match every requirement: the other five fade back, Aaron Feldman and Andre Bassett are ringed, and they fill the two slots_ _[ 03 ]_ ### Assignments and visit instructions Assign a technician and include the relevant inspection or service instructions. _Illustration: Skedulo Form Builder, Settings tab, for the Site checklist: Form type with Job form chosen over Global form; Job types as chips, Inspection with Fire safety audit added; Resource categories as chips, Inspector with Senior Technician added, so only resources in these categories see it. At the foot: Gloria Benitez, a Senior Technician, sees it on JOB-4803_ _[ 04 ]_ ### Mobile inspection records Complete configured forms and capture readings, photos, notes, and signatures. _Illustration: Skedulo web Form Builder, Build tab, for the Site checklist job form, version 3, in Draft: page 2 of 5, Hazards and PPE, lists its components - Hazards identified, Hazards recorded, PPE, and Permit to work selected - with Permit number, Permit expiry and Permit photo indented under the rule Shown when Permit to work is Yes. Beside it, the builder's preview: an iPhone showing the same page in the mobile app, scrolled to the Permit to work switch on and the permit number and expiry fields it reveals_ _[ 05 ]_ ### Corrective tasks and reinspection Configure workflows to create corrective tasks or reinspections when recorded findings meet your rules. _Illustration: A Skedulo workflow canvas for Failed check follow-up, in draft, built a step at a time: Site checklist submitted, then the rule Any check failed. On Then, Request approval from Wade Brennan and Create follow-up, Replace isolator; on Else, Complete the job and Update work order, its tile the Salesforce logo. Each card lands with the line into it_ _[ 06 ]_ ### Correction review Record corrective work and any required verification before marking the finding resolved. _Illustration: A Skedulo panel for the workflow Failed check follow-up, in draft: records and tools for three teams land in turn, each team's tool a beat after - Gloria Benitez in the field, the Site checklist with its isolator check, photo and notes, in the mobile app; Wade Brennan, supervisor, asset AST-1152 with its status, failed check and photo, on the asset page; Mark Doherty, dispatch, JOB-4871, Replace isolator, 2 hours, on the dispatch board. Then the one record trail: JOB-4803 to AST-1152 to JOB-4871_ _Tempo_ ## Review building-system service work with Tempo. Compare due inspections and urgent requests with Tempo, using the connected records and actions enabled for your scheduling team. [Meet Tempo](https://www.skedulo.com/product/tempo/) _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo working a lapsing certification from its issue: Aaron Feldman's fire alarm certification expires tonight, and he is booked on the annual alarm inspection at 4301 Brighton Blvd on Thursday from 6:00 PM. The issue lands in amber on a blank screen and becomes the task's header; Tempo reads his certification, the certified technicians and the access notes, and the context panel opens on his profile and the inspection. Tempo picks Curtis Mensah, certified and free; once the dispatcher starts the plan it swaps the job to him, puts the system on test and emails the building manager._ _The Toolkit_ ## Inspection coverage and open building-system findings. ### Technician requirement matching Match recorded certifications and system experience to visit requirements, alongside availability and location. _Illustration: Skedulo job card for JOB-4809, a rooftop package unit install on Wed 13 Aug, 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM, pending dispatch, with an amber exception - skills mismatch: Aaron lacks Rooftop HVAC install, required - and the three people proposed for it along its foot_ ### Service changes with Tempo Use Tempo to help review technicians and existing visits before changing an assignment. _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo on a soft blue card. The dispatcher has asked, Hey Tempo, tell me about Doug's schedule tomorrow, and Tempo answers: Doug has 3 jobs on Thursday, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with 40 minutes of driving. A slim strip under the answer shows the three jobs across his day. Below, the message box waits for a follow-up._ ### System details and checklists Give technicians the right checklist and system context on mobile. _Illustration: Skedulo mobile pre-start safety form card: under Hazards present, Unprotected roof edge is ticked and tagged CRITICAL while Overhead power lines stays clear; a dashed section opens with the required controls - harness on a rated anchor and an exclusion zone below the edge - each ticked in turn, and the amber note to confirm both turns green: confirmed, work can start_ ### Findings and follow-up workflow Configure failed checks to trigger corrective tasks or reinspections under your process. _Illustration: Skedulo workflow card, Failed check follow-up, running on JOB-4803: three steps light in turn, each tile blue as it runs and green when done, a wire filling between them - Status updated at 5:17 PM, asset AST-1152 set to Awaiting follow-up; Approval requested, waiting for Wade Brennan, then approved by him at 5:18 PM; Follow-up job created at 5:18 PM, JOB-4871, Replace isolator_ ### Inspection and finding visibility Track due visits, recorded findings, and corrective-work status. _Illustration: Analytics tile: 24 failed checks this week, down 6 on last week, as a rose bar per form - site inspection 9, pre-start 7 and the other forms 8 - and one more failed pre-start check landing_ ## ECL Group completes around 23,000 inspections a year. - **Before** - Six business units tracked inspections on separate, disconnected systems. - No shared visibility into which certified technicians were covering which sites. - **With Skedulo** - One native Salesforce system schedules and monitors every inspection. - Technicians and subcontractors work from the same live compliance schedule. - **Outcome** - 23,000+ inspections scheduled per year. - Mobile workforce management unified on a single system. > We currently complete around 23,000 individual inspections per annum.

Keep due inspections and urgent service requests visible together. Review recorded qualifications, access, travel, and existing commitments before reallocating a technician. Tempo can help with coordination using available records. ### Can Skedulo flag a fire protection technician whose NICET level or state license has lapsed? Record relevant qualifications and expiry dates, then compare them with the inspection requirements and planned date. Your team verifies credentials, renewals, and suitability. Configure any reminders or checks required by your process. ### Can Skedulo manage recurring building system inspections? Yes. Plan recurring visits around program due dates, recorded technician qualifications, availability, and access. Review upcoming work and unassigned visits as part of your scheduling process. ### How does a failed safety check become corrective work? Teams can set up automations to create a corrective task or reinspection when a recorded finding meets your rules, and route it to an owner. The finding stays open until the corrective work and any required verification are recorded. ### Can Skedulo replace our fire inspection reporting tool? Usually not, and it does not need to. Fire inspection reporting tools produce the formatted reports and deficiency records your customers and authorities expect. Skedulo schedules and routes the technicians, captures readings, photos and signatures on mobile, and shares results with your compliance, CMMS or billing systems through APIs and integrations. ### Will deficiency notes recorded in a mechanical room without signal survive the sync? Yes. Adding notes and updating job details are documented to work offline, so they're saved on the device, marked pending and synced when the connection returns, and the technician can see what went through. A banner shows when the app is offline, and some extensions and connected actions still need a connection, so test the inspection forms you rely on before using them in plant rooms. _Keep Exploring_ ## Explore related products, site programs, and use cases. ### Products - [Field Scheduling](https://www.skedulo.com/product/field-scheduling/) - [Frontline Mobile App](https://www.skedulo.com/product/mobile/) - [Forms & Checklists](https://www.skedulo.com/product/forms-checklists/) - [Messaging](https://www.skedulo.com/product/messaging/) - [Shift Scheduling](https://www.skedulo.com/product/shift-scheduling/) - [Tempo](https://www.skedulo.com/product/tempo/) ### Security & Facilities Programs - [Facilities Maintenance](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/security-facilities/facilities-maintenance/) - [Security Guarding & Patrol](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/security-facilities/security-guarding-patrol/) - [Janitorial & Cleaning Services](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/security-facilities/janitorial-cleaning-services/) ### Use Cases - [Inspections & Forms](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/inspections-forms/) - [Asset Management](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/asset-management/) - [Communication & Messaging](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/communication-messaging/) - [Task Management](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/task-management/) ## See Skedulo for building-system service teams.
