Annotate images in inspections
Why annotate images in inspections?
Annotating images in inspections helps team members understand the context behind observations in captured photos and address the issues they’re pointing out. This leads to a more efficient inspection process, facilitating accurate reporting and better decision-making. It can also improve safety and compliance across your operations.
