What is the Toolkit in inspections?

In SafetyCulture, the Toolkit is a set of data capture options available during inspections on the mobile app. It allows users to scan barcode or QR codes, connect to a Bluetooth device, use a calculator, estimate distance, and scan text as they complete an inspection. This helps reduce manual entry errors and improve the accuracy and consistency of inspection results, making it easier for teams to capture reliable information on site.

Use the table below to see which response types can access the Toolkit and what kind of input each one accepts.

Capture data quickly by scanning QR codes and 1D and 2D barcodes using our built-in scanner. This option automatically inputs alphanumeric or numeric values into supported response types.

Measure the distance between objects using the digital estimator in the mobile app. Instead of using a tape measure and entering values manually, you can capture measurements directly during an inspection.

Capture written information, such as serial numbers or readings, by scanning text with our built-in scanner. This eliminates manual entry and helps ensure accurate data collection.

Connect sensors to the mobile app and automatically capture readings during inspections, such as temperature, pH level, paint thickness, or oil quality directly into responses. The data is recorded directly into the relevant response type, with the option to add details if needed.
