Does Inspectly360 work offline in school plant rooms and across a campus?
Yes. The Inspectly360 mobile app works fully offline, which matters across a school site or a university campus where boiler rooms, plant rooms, basement stores, and remote pavilions often have no signal. Caretakers and estates technicians complete daily rounds, capture photos, add annotations, and run AI defect detection without any internet connection. Each record stores locally on the device and syncs automatically the moment connectivity returns. Nothing is lost on the way back to the office. Offline records still timestamp and GPS-tag every entry, so a fire alarm test in a remote sports pavilion carries the same evidence weight as a check completed in the main reception. For multi-site trusts and large campuses this removes the gap where remote buildings drift out of the inspection programme because the signal is poor.
Can we run CLEAPSS, ROSPA, and BS EN 1176 inspections in Inspectly360?
Yes. Inspectly360 supports any inspection your school or university needs, including science lab safety inspections aligned with CLEAPSS guidance, playground inspections aligned with ROSPA and BS EN 1176 expectations, and design technology and food technology workshop safety checks. Start from the pre-built education template library or build your own with pass or fail fields, photo evidence, numeric measurements, conditional logic, and e-signatures. Templates can be cloned and rolled out across every school in a multi-academy trust in minutes, so termly inspections run to the same standard at every site. When CLEAPSS or HSE guidance is updated, you edit the master template once and the change rolls out across the trust, rather than chasing every site to update their own paper checklist.
How does Inspectly360 support OFSTED, HSE, and insurance audit prep?
Inspectly360 keeps estates teams continuously audit-ready instead of scrambling before an OFSTED, HSE, fire officer, or insurance visit. Every inspection, statutory test, and corrective action is captured digitally with photo evidence, a timestamp, and a named owner, then stored in one searchable record. When an auditor asks for fire alarm tests, Legionella temperature logs, asbestos register checks, or playground inspection records, you filter the relevant date range and export a branded PDF in seconds. Corrective actions raised during audits are tracked to verified closure, so an inspector can see not just that a finding was raised but that it was fixed and confirmed. That changes audit preparation from a week of digging through binders into a routine export from the platform the estates team already uses day to day.
Can estates leads see compliance across every building in a multi-academy trust or campus?
Yes. Inspectly360 gives heads of estates, bursars, and trust estates directors a live dashboard of completion rates, open issues, overdue corrective actions, and statutory compliance status across every school or campus building. Each site can carry its own inspection templates and schedules, while trust-wide templates run where consistency matters, such as fire safety or safeguarding-relevant rounds. Leadership sees the cross-trust picture without forcing every school into an identical inspection regime. AMC renewal dates, fire NOC expiry, lift licence, water hygiene records, and asbestos register reviews are tracked centrally with automated alerts before each cycle lapses, so renewals are not discovered the week the contractor calls.
How do AMC vendors and cleaning contractors close issues in Inspectly360?
Contractors and AMC vendors are invited into Inspectly360 with role-based access scoped to their work area. They see only the corrective actions assigned to them, attach closure evidence including photos, and submit the work for verification. The estates team re-inspects and closes the item only when the fix is confirmed, rather than relying on a vendor self-certifying completion in an email. Each closure is timestamped and attributed, so if the same defect reappears at the next termly round, the original signoff can be traced. Access can be removed the moment a contract ends, keeping records secure. This replaces the common WhatsApp and email closure trail with a single verified record per defect, which strengthens the school's position if an issue ever escalates to an insurance or HSE matter.
What types of education inspection checklists can I create?
Inspectly360 supports any inspection a school estates team or university campus operations team runs: daily caretaker rounds, classroom checks, weekly fire alarm tests, monthly emergency lighting, termly science lab and DT workshop safety inspections, termly playground and outdoor estate inspections, annual safeguarding-relevant audits, AMC and statutory compliance reviews, and move-in and move-out inspections for boarding accommodation or student halls. Start from the pre-built education template library or build your own with conditional logic so questions appear only when relevant. Photo evidence can be made mandatory on critical items, and e-signatures capture the inspector and any verifying officer. The same template can be deployed across every school in a multi-academy trust or every faculty building on a university campus, so each site runs the same standard rather than drifting site by site.
Does Inspectly360 integrate with our MIS, helpdesk, or estates management system?
Yes. Inspectly360 connects to school and university management systems and estates helpdesk tools through API and integrations. Inspection findings can create or update tickets in your existing helpdesk, and asset and location data can sync so faults captured by a caretaker become tracked work in the system the estates team already uses. Webhooks and a full REST API support custom connections to any other platform in your stack, including SIMS, Bromcom, ServiceNow, or a bespoke CAFM. The principle is that an issue logged on a daily round should not need re-keying into the helpdesk by a bursar. That closes the common gap where paper inspection findings never become work orders at all and the same fault is rediscovered on the next termly round.
