Why use a computer prepared report?
Library, specialized checklists, spell check, editing, presentation format,
update-ability, cheaper
Most computer report libraries, if published, as a checklist would be
more than 40 pages long. Has a client ever asked: Why is half of the report
"not present" items? What a waste of everyone's time.
This is the most important, a time saving advantage.
Would you buy software where you have to make a selection to enter your Company
and inspector information for each report? NO! If, 99 out of 100 inspections you
perform have a concrete drive in normal condition, then why can't this field be pre-selected? How many comments are repeated in all or most of your reports?
Forty, 50 or more? PRS also has the ability to create multiple checklists, 2
story, condo, etc. PRS even has the ability to pre-select default comments to
appear in all selected reports.
Example: Arc-fault circuit interrupters this year or the dip
tube problem. What do you do to update the paper report? Hand write in? Why not
spent a few minutes writing a default comment and / or select it to appear in
all reports thereafter, once?
A 20 page NCR report will cost around 5 to 10 bucks. Computer prepared
report will cost less than a buck (averaging the computer and printer costs over
a three-year period). Plus the NCR paper is ugly.

inspection reporting software with some costing as much as $2000.00. Most of
these products are dependent on an office program licensed from a software
