Inovai / Use cases
Every inspector checks differently.
The same checklist for everyone; the inspector confirms only disputed points.
Problem
The checklist is in people’s heads and the result depends on who checks.
What we’ll do
Rules from the checklist, document checks, disputed points to a person.
Result
The same check for everyone, with evidence of what was verified.
How it works
Four steps; a person decides on the exception.

When it makes sense
It pays off when
- Hundreds of checks a month
- The checklist or rules can be described
- The audit requires traceable decisions
What to watch out for
- A checklist change needs to be reflected in the workflow
- The workflow won’t take over items that need human judgement
- Without a connection to DMS or ERP it stays isolated
