Why start inspections from assets?
Starting an inspection directly from an asset allows you to capture all data and readings attributed to the right asset every time. Adding asset questions to your templates ensures that each inspection consistently collects data about the same asset. This gives your team a reliable way to track each asset's performance and condition, whether you're managing one or multiple assets across sites.
For example, a site supervisor performing routine checks on heavy equipment can always log readings against the correct machine without manual input. This makes it easier to spot recurring issues and prioritize maintenance for specific assets to keep them running reliably.
