Mobile Inspection Forms

6 December 2022

JFDI replaced paper-based inspection forms with a SharePoint mobile solution for Countryside Properties, automating metadata tagging and document filing to save days of effort each month.

JFDI Consulting developed a SharePoint-based mobile inspection solution for Countryside Properties PLC, a leading UK mixed-tenure property developer established in 1958 with over 600 million in annual revenue.

"JFDI replaced our paper-based inspection forms in SharePoint, saving my team days of effort each month." -- Chris Phillips, Business Systems Manager, Countryside Properties

The Challenge

Countryside Properties conducts regular site inspections across numerous construction locations to ensure workforce safety and quality standards. Previously, inspectors completed paper forms that required manual scanning, metadata tagging, and digital filing -- a time-consuming, error-prone process.

The Solution

Mobile-First Approach

Inspectors complete full reports directly on mobile devices with supplementary photos and attachments, submitted onsite without later transcription.

Automated Metadata & Filing

System automatically applies metadata upon form submission, routing documents to predefined SharePoint locations with searchable taxonomy.

Key Benefits

  • Eliminated paper handling and scanning delays
  • Reduced human error in form processing
  • Decreased environmental impact
  • Significant time savings for inspection teams
