Interloc Solutions: Taking the Pen and Paper out of Maximo Asset Inspections

Today, Interloc Solutions announced the release of Mobile Informer Inspections for IBM Maximo, a new application available for iOS and Android platforms- becoming the first company to bring the full functionality of Maximo Inspections to offline mobile devices. A turn-key solution, the mobile Inspections application is tightly integrated with the IBM Maximo Inspections Work Center, completely replacing paper-based inspections. Whether performing an audit, assessment, or survey, inspections are still a manual process for many Maximo users, executed with a clipboard, paper, and pencil. The mobile Inspections application introduces true mobility into this process and gives the mobile workforce the ability to perform inspections even when in the field where they may not have any network connectivity. In the Inspections app, Users can view and manage inspections assigned to them. They can search assigned inspections by Asset, Location, or Work Order number, providing more efficiencies and streamlining asset inspections. Users can even create unscheduled inspections and have them stored directly into the Maximo system. Inspections remain a critical component in maintaining assets across the enterprise and coupled with the full power of the Maximo Work Management suite, Mobile Informer customers can significantly increase their ROI.
