Why use custom inspection forms?

There are so many reasons to use our new Form Builder for custom inspection forms:

Tailor to customer and business needs

Start from scratch and create your own custom templates that suit your business’s and your customers’ needs. There are two easy ways to make this happen:

  1. Start with a blank template, then build the form using Joyfill’s easy to use drag and drop interface, adding in specific datapoints that are relevant to your customers’ unique fire protection systems. You can also create customized checklists tailored to specific inspection needs and relevant regulations, ensuring comprehensive and compliant inspections.

Stay compliant with local regulations

Don’t leave compliance to chance. Our library of inspection forms contains hundreds of custom templates that cover all major US standards and requirements, including NFPA and AES, helping you ensure compliance with all relevant fire safety regulations. 

Whether you’re following national standards or meeting local authority requirements, these templates help ensure your inspections are up to code, maintain consistency across inspections, and support regulatory compliance through standardized digital forms and documentation.

Streamline processes and boost consistency

Switching from paper forms to electronic ones with pre-defined fields standardizes your inspection process, ensuring all technicians fill in the forms the same way. 

This reduces the time and effort required to complete inspections compared to a manual process, and helps increase the reliability of your results.

Gain real-time insights

Using digital, customizable forms gives your clients real-time transparency over their fire safety compliance. Completed inspection forms are available to access at any time in our customer portal, so your clients can see their inspection reports and documentation all in one place. 

Real-time access to this data enables data-driven decisions for fire safety management, helping identify trends and optimize procedures. Additionally, the system allows for the generation of comprehensive reports, ensuring thorough and audit-ready documentation for compliance and analysis.

Strengthen your record-keeping

Use custom fields to allow your technicians to add notes and photos to forms to provide enhanced documentation and improve record-keeping, giving you deeper insight into inspection findings and defects. 

All digital records are stored securely in the cloud, ensuring your data is protected and accessible when needed.

Prepare for audits 

Using digital forms stored in the cloud means all your inspection records are easy to access when needed. This makes it simple to track and prepare for upcoming inspections, ensuring nothing is missed. Efficient record-keeping also supports better resource allocation for audit preparation, allowing you to assign the appropriate personnel and manage time and budget effectively. 

If your business is subject to an audit, you’ll be able to demonstrate that your records are current and that you’re meeting compliance requirements.

Get started with smarter fire inspection forms

With Uptick’s new Form Builder powered by Joyfill, you can customize your fire inspection forms, improve your record keeping, and stay ahead of compliance requirements, all without leaving the Uptick platform. Whether you're building from scratch or digitizing your existing PDFs, our tools give you the flexibility and control you need to work smarter and more efficiently.
