Smarter Field Inspections. Less Paperwork. Greater Operational Visibility.

Energy & Utilities | Digital Technology | Systems Integration & Analytics

The Challenge

A utilities business relied on paper forms to record field inspections.

Engineers completed inspections on-site, but the information had to be manually transferred into spreadsheets when they returned to the office.

This created delays, increased the risk of errors and made it difficult for management to monitor inspection activity and respond quickly to issues.

The Solution

Aisteari developed a mobile inspection application using Microsoft Power Apps.

Field engineers can now complete inspections directly on tablets or smartphones, capturing inspection details, photographs and checklists digitally.

The application supports offline working and automatically synchronises information when connectivity becomes available.

Inspection data is connected to central business systems and Power BI reporting, providing management with more timely operational information.

The Business Impact

• 100% elimination of paper inspection forms.

• 40% faster inspection cycles.

• Inspection information available immediately to office teams once synchronised.

• Improved data accuracy by removing manual transcription.

• Greater operational visibility through connected reporting.

• A scalable solution that can be extended to additional field teams.

The Outcome

A faster, more connected inspection process that reduces administration, improves information quality and gives management better visibility of field operations.
