Field Inspection Apps
Why NDT Teams Need Field Inspection Apps
Field inspection apps replace paper forms, clipboards, and manual data entry with digital workflows that save time and reduce errors. For NDT service companies and industrial inspection teams, the right field inspection app means technicians spend less time on paperwork and more time performing inspections.
Floodlight Software provides field inspection apps built specifically for non-destructive testing and industrial inspection work. Our mobile app runs on iOS and Android tablets and smartphones, allowing technicians to capture inspection data, attach photos, collect signatures, and generate professional reports—all from the field.
Features of Floodlight Field Inspection Apps
Offline Capability
Work without internet connectivity. Field inspection apps from Floodlight store data locally and sync automatically when your technicians reconnect. Perfect for remote sites, refineries, and facilities with restricted network access.
Custom Inspection Forms
Build digital inspection forms that match your existing processes. Support for UT thickness readings, RT shot logs, MT/PT inspection checklists, visual inspection reports, and any other NDT method your team performs.
Photo and Media Capture
Attach photos directly to inspection records using your device camera. Annotate images to highlight defects, add timestamps, and organize visual documentation by asset or inspection point.
Digital Signatures
Capture technician and customer signatures on-site. Signed inspection reports and delivery confirmations are stored with the job record for complete audit trails.
Real-Time Sync
When connected, inspection data syncs instantly to your office. Managers see job progress in real-time, and reports can be delivered to customers the same day—sometimes before the technician leaves the site.
Time and Expense Tracking
Technicians log labor hours and job expenses from the field inspection app. This data flows directly into invoicing, eliminating manual timesheet entry and improving billing accuracy.
