The problem

Scattered inspection reports that trigger no action

Nicolas, an inspection manager in the industrial sector, faced a classic problem: his teams struggled to quickly turn inspection observations into planned work orders. Reports arrived as PDFs from inspection bodies (Apave, Bureau Veritas, Dekra, Socotec), were manually re-entered into Excel, and work orders were then created one by one in DimoMaint. Time-consuming, error-prone, and poorly traceable.

With Visionsoft Inspection, he digitized the entire workflow – from field data collection to the automatic creation of work orders in the CMMS. Every observation is centralized, prioritized and turned into a corrective action with no re-entry.

Testimonial

How Nicolas automated his inspection workflow into DimoMaint

“My teams struggled to quickly turn inspection observations into planned work orders. Paper reports, Excel files and manual entries in DimoMaint were causing delays and errors. With Visionsoft, every observation is automatically turned into a child Work Order in our CMMS – prioritized, assigned, with all the information needed to act without losing time.”

Artificial intelligence

AI to anticipate non-conformities before they occur

Visionsoft embeds two complementary AI layers to go beyond inspection digitization.

Vision AI Maker – Vaia

Generate your inspection app from a description

Describe your inspection process in plain language – control types, inspection bodies, CMMS connection, validation workflow – and Vaia generates the complete application, ready to deploy in the field, with no developer needed.

Vision AI Agent Builder

An AI agent to analyze and prioritize your findings

Embed an AI agent in your inspection workflow. It automatically analyzes incoming findings, detects recurring patterns, prioritizes non-conformities by criticality and recommends the right corrective actions – with no manual intervention.

Concrete results

Frequently asked questions

What inspection managers ask

Before deploying a digital inspection solution

Does Visionsoft replace the CMMS for inspection management?

No. Visionsoft works alongside your CMMS or as a standalone solution. When your CMMS is DimoMaint, Carl Source or SAP PM, Visionsoft automatically creates Work Orders in your CMMS from inspection observations. You keep your CMMS for planning and work order management; Visionsoft handles the inspection-to-corrective-action workflow.

How are inspection body reports integrated?

Visionsoft retrieves finding lists from inspection body platforms (Apave, Bureau Veritas, Dekra, Socotec, Qualiconsult, Alpes Controles). Findings are imported automatically, linked to a grouped work order, and child Work Orders are generated for each corrective action – with no manual re-entry.

Does the app work without network coverage in the field?

Yes. Offline mode is native. Your inspectors fill in checklists, take photos and log observations without a network connection. Everything syncs automatically as soon as they return to a covered area.

Can different inspection types (statutory inspections, rounds, HSE audits) be managed in the same app?

Yes. Visionsoft supports multiple inspection types with different checklists and workflows within the same platform. Statutory inspections, periodic rounds, HSE audits, receiving inspections – each type has its own configurable template, editable without a developer.

Can inspection data be used for regulatory reporting?

Yes. Visionsoft keeps a complete, time-stamped history of all inspections, findings and corrective actions. Reports can be exported for your regulatory audits, labor inspections or certifications. All data is archived on French infrastructure.
