Digital Checklists and Inspection Plans

Paper lists go missing, folders pile up, and when it matters the proof is gone. With the QMSpot checklist module you define what gets inspected, who inspects it and how often — per site or globally for all of them. Completed inspections go straight into the report.

What the checklist module does

An inspection item is the smallest unit of a checklist. QMSpot offers ten types — you combine them the way your inspection actually runs.

For every inspection item you decide whether it is mandatory. Safety-critical points are marked as Critical Control Points. For numeric values you define target and limit values that make deviations visible. Dependencies show a follow-up question only when a particular answer was given — if the inspector selects "Yes", the detail question appears, otherwise the list stays short.

When something deviates, nobody has to remember to raise a defect: a selection list with validation, or a numeric value outside its target range, creates one automatically, complete with a pre-filled note. The stored procedure note appears right away and tells the inspector what to do next. If the defect can be fixed on the spot, it is closed there and then.

Checkbox

predefined options; with validation a wrong answer raises a defect

Free text

single-line or multi-line, for open answers

Numeric value

numeric values with a target range — a deviation raises a defect

Signature

electronic confirmation by signature

Measuring point

direct integration with sensors

Location

outputs the geo-location

Timestamp

documents when the inspection took place

How an inspection runs

From template to proof — four steps that repeat the same way in every operation.

1. Create a checklist

Name, description, recurrence — and whether the list applies to one site or all of them. Copy similar lists instead.

2. Work with templates

Save recurring checklists as templates and sort them into categories such as Hygiene, Safety or Maintenance.

3. Record the deviation

When an item is not met, a defect is created with a note and a procedure note — a photo can be made mandatory.

4. Prove it

Completed inspections land in the report, filterable by site, date and user. Export as Excel or PDF.

How it works with the other modules

Cross-module, flexible and practical

The checklist module does not stand alone. It is the point where the other modules connect.

  • Sensors & Temperature — inspection items of the measuring point type pull their values straight from the sensor
  • Defect Management — deviations are followed up as defects, with an owner and a deadline
  • Audits — the same inspection logic, on a larger scale
  • Training — whoever inspects has to be instructed
  • Device Management — maintenance, inspection and calibration of the devices behind the readings
