Home/Platform/InspectWin™ Audit Edition
Layer 4 · InspectWin Audit Edition

Third-party inspection software,
built to prove the audit happened.

One platform for the organisations that audit sites they do not own. Plan the programme, build your own checklists, run the whole audit offline on any Android phone, and issue the report the same week · with evidence that shows where and when every photograph was taken.

01 · WHAT GOES WRONG TODAY

You will recognise at least three of these five.

Nothing here is an accusation. These are the things that start happening once a programme is large enough that no one person can hold it in their head any more.

PROBLEM 01

The photograph proves nothing on its own.

A picture of a panel, in a folder, with no place and no time attached to it. So when the site says the auditor was there for twelve minutes, or that the photograph is not of their equipment, there is nothing in the file that answers back.

In a randomised trial run with an Indian state pollution control board, 29% of audit reports carried readings that were not true, clustered just inside the limit. When auditors were assigned at random and their work spot-checked, false readings fell by about 80%.Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2013
ON SITE 1 day WRITING IT UP, CHASING PHOTOS, REBUILDING THE REPORT 4 days THE COST OF AN AUDIT IS MOSTLY NOT THE AUDIT
PROBLEM 02

Writing it up takes longer than doing it.

The visit is a day. The report is the rest of the week. Because the cost sits in the admin rather than the field time, every extra hundred audits needs another coordinator, and a bigger programme quietly becomes a thinner one.

Around 14 hours of administration per audit, before anything is issued.Modelled on a 2,000-audit programme. Your numbers will differ, and we would rather build that model with you than hand you ours.
issued sent back no answer yet STATUS AS AT MONTH END · COMPILED BY HAND
PROBLEM 03

By the time you can see the month, it is over.

How many are done, how many are pending, how many came back rejected. If the answer has to be assembled from mailboxes and spreadsheets, it is already old by the time anyone reads it, and the slippage it shows is no longer recoverable.

The moment it costs most is the one where a client asks in a review meeting and the honest reply is “let me come back to you tomorrow”.
AUDIT 1AUDIT 2AUDIT 3 SAME FINDING · NO OWNER · NO DATE · NO PROOF OF FIX
PROBLEM 04

The same finding, found again.

Raised, emailed, highlighted in yellow, and then forgotten. It reappears at the next audit because nothing ever carried a named owner, a due date and a photograph of the repair. The audit becomes a record of a problem rather than the end of one.

A finding that closes is worth more than a finding that is found. Closure is the only part of an audit the site actually experiences.
2026202720282029 27 MAR 2029 THE QUESTION ARRIVES AFTER THE RECORD HAS GONE
PROBLEM 05

The question always arrives late.

An assessor, a recall, a dispute with a site two years on. Someone asks what was inspected, by whom, when, and what happened afterwards. A shared drive and a mailbox cannot answer that, and by then nobody involved still remembers the day.

ISO/IEC 17020 was revised on 27 March 2026, and the new edition adds requirements covering the control of data and information. Accredited bodies have until 27 March 2029 to transition.ISO/IEC 17020:2026, Edition 3

02 · WHAT IT DOES

Everything an audit programme needs, in one place.

From scheduling the visit to closing the last corrective action. Your checklists, your reviewers, your report template.

01 · PLAN

Schedule and allocate

Plan audits across the whole network. Allocate by availability, workload and region. Reminders chase the site, so your coordinator does not have to.

02 · BUILD

Author your own checklists

Unlimited checklists, built by your team in the browser. Maturity rubrics, scoring weights, auto-fail rules, evidence requirements. No developer, no waiting on us.

03 · AUDIT

Work anywhere, signal or not

The complete audit runs on an Android phone with no connectivity. Upload resumes by itself when the auditor gets back to network.

04 · PROVE

Evidence that speaks for itself

Every photograph carries where, when and by whom, sealed at the moment it is taken. Your client never has to take your word for it.

05 · REVIEW

Your review chain, automated

Submissions route through your own reviewers. Scores compute themselves. Overdue items escalate without anyone remembering to chase.

06 · CLOSE

Report and close the loop

The report generates the day the audit ends. The audited site uploads corrective-action evidence through a portal, and findings are tracked to closure.

03 · THE NETWORK

Two thousand sites. One live view.

Every audit lands in the same place, colour-coded by what the reviewer decided. Accepted, sent back for re-audit, or rejected because the evidence would not support a conclusion.

04 · HOW THE EVIDENCE HOLDS

Why the evidence still stands two years later.

Your auditor just takes the photograph. Everything below happens on its own · the first five steps without any connectivity at all.

05 · OFFLINE

No signal. No excuse. No lost audit.

Not a cached form. The complete audit executes with zero connectivity for its full duration · two days, three days, however long the site takes.

Assignment, checklist version, geofence boundary and the auditee's documents download before departure. Capture, branching logic, scoring rules and signature all run on the device. Geofence evaluation happens on the phone, so enforcement never depends on a signal.

On reconnection, upload resumes from the point it stopped · including part-way through a single photograph. Assume 2G. It was built for that.

06 · REVIEW

Two review paths, so neither has to carry the other.

Your quality reviewers grade the site. A separate check confirms the audit itself was sound. Keeping them apart means reviewers can focus on the finding, and your auditors are never quietly under suspicion in the same queue.

QUALITY CHAIN
L1Regional reviewerEvidence sufficiency, criterion match, findings.
L2Zonal reviewerScore threshold, critical non-conformance, dispute.
L3National quality headUnresolved dispute, SLA breach, repeat critical.
INTEGRITY CHAIN
01Automatic screeningEvery audit against the full signal set. Not a sample.
02Severity-graded flagRouted to a separate cohort, never the quality reviewer.
03AdjudicationDismissed, coached, re-audit ordered, or escalated.

Nine automatic checks run on every audit, not on a sample. Location integrity, device integrity, clock accuracy, duplicate images, unusually short visits, thin evidence. In practice they clear almost everything · which is exactly what makes the exceptions worth a look.

How many of your audits would clear that screen?
Most programmes have never measured it. That is usually the finding.

07 · ACCREDITATION

Built to the way accreditation actually works.

Competence blocks assignment

An auditor cannot be assigned to a scheme they are not currently qualified for. The system stops it rather than reporting it later.

Impartiality blocks assignment

Conflict register per auditor and client. Declared conflicts and cooling-off periods prevent allocation.

Records that reconstruct

Retention per scheme, write-once storage, and any audit replayable in a single action for an assessor.

ISO/IEC 17020 was revised on 27 March 2026. Accreditation bodies are publishing transition guidance now. For an inspection body the practical question is not what changed in the text, but which records your systems must be able to produce on demand.

Electrical audits are the hardest. We started there.

Calibrated instruments, technical judgement, regulated standards, and an engineer's reading of a 130 °C busbar joint. If a platform handles that, it handles food safety, showroom standards and supplier quality without breaking a sweat.

11 · FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask.

What is third-party inspection software?

Software used by organisations that inspect or audit someone else, rather than themselves. It differs from self-inspection tools in one assumption: the evidence has to satisfy a reviewer who was not present. That requires controlled capture, provenance on every record, and audits that can be reconstructed years later.

What does an audit app that works without internet actually mean?

It means the complete audit runs with no signal for its full duration, not that a form is cached. Assignment, checklist version, geofence and reference documents download beforehand. Capture, scoring rules and signature work offline. Upload resumes on reconnection from the point it stopped.

How do you prove an auditor actually visited the site?

The audit can only be opened inside a geofence evaluated on the device, so it works without a signal. A wireless network fingerprint captured on the first visit acts as a second factor. Every photograph carries GPS, a server-anchored timestamp and a hash applied at the moment of capture.

How do you stop auditors uploading old photos?

Capture runs through the camera interface only. No gallery permission is requested and no upload path exists in the application. Each image is hashed at the shutter and screened for duplicates across every audit, so a reused photograph is detected rather than merely discouraged.

Can audit photos be faked?

Gallery reuse and forwarded images are prevented outright. Photographing a printed image or a screen is not prevented by any mobile control stack, ours included. What these controls do is raise the cost of falsification and leave a trail that fails visibly rather than silently.

What software do certification bodies use for field audits?

Most still combine a generic inspection app with spreadsheets, because mainstream tools assume the auditor is inspecting their own site. Certification bodies need competence and impartiality enforced at assignment, evidence with provenance, and records retained to accreditation requirements.

How do you track corrective actions across 2,000 sites?

Each finding carries an owner, a due date and a status, and is tracked independently of the audit that raised it. The audited site uploads closure evidence through a portal, tagged by provenance. Overdue items escalate automatically. The audit takes three days; closure runs for months.

How is InspectWin Audit Edition licensed?

As a subscription. You pay per audit conducted against a minimum annual commitment, and the platform, mobile application, unlimited checklists, portal, dashboards and evidence retention are included. There is no server to buy and no infrastructure to run.

How is this different from InspectWin Plant Edition?

Plant Edition is built for inspecting your own plant: QR-tagged assets, calibration cycles, work orders and preventive maintenance. Audit Edition is built for auditing someone else, where the evidence has to satisfy a reviewer who was never on site. Same engine, different job.
