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.
