Planned release: May 2024

In order to allow our users to work more effectively following up on inspections, we will be releasing a new feature to work with corrective actions for inspection reports.

From the report page, you will be able to select defects or checkpoints which should trigger a corrective action and with a few clicks create a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) for the supplier to follow up.

Getting visual feedback into the reports

One of the key benefits from this new feature is that the images or videos provided as evidence when resolving a corrective action will be displayed directly in the report next to the images of the problem. Below is an example of a defect reported (the first two pictures) and then the evidence from the corrective action provided later (shown with the green “Evidence” marking):

This is particularly useful for sample reports where a lot of changes and updates are made based on previous findings, and suppliers will be able to easily provide images for the corrected version.

Keep track of corrective actions per supplier

Once Corrective Actions have been created, there will be a dedicated menu for keeping track of the status of corrective actions, where you can filter on supplier, due date, status etc.

Resolve from mobile app

In many cases, you want the supplier to provide some evidence that the problem has been solved. The mobile app will have a Corrective Actions menu where the supplier can easily take pictures or video and resolve the corrective action. If an approver has been added, it will send an email to this person for approval.

Follow-up tasks

Today, the section on inspection reports called “Follow-up tasks” will be replaced by the new corrective actions. All existing follow-up tasks will be converted to corrective actions.
