ROI Impact
An automated transition strip inspection system schedules regular checks based on traffic patterns and manufacturer guidelines, sends reminders to maintenance teams with location-specific checklists, and generates work orders when wear or damage is detected. This prevents trip hazards, maintains warranty compliance, and reduces liability across multiple properties.
How This Automation Works
Scheduled inspection date reaches due status → Inspection reminders sent and maintenance tasks created
Configure Inspection Schedule
Set inspection intervals for each property based on traffic levels, floor types, and manufacturer recommendations. The system creates a master calendar across all locations with customizable frequency rules.
Monitor Due Dates
The system continuously tracks inspection schedules and automatically identifies upcoming and overdue assessments. It accounts for holidays, property closures, and technician availability when scheduling.
Send Inspection Reminders
When inspections become due, automated notifications with location-specific checklists, previous inspection photos, and access instructions are sent to assigned maintenance personnel.
Collect Inspection Data
Technicians complete mobile-friendly checklists with photo documentation, condition ratings, and notes. The system captures GPS location, timestamp, and inspector credentials for compliance records.
Generate Work Orders
Based on inspection results, the system automatically creates prioritized maintenance tasks, checks material inventory, estimates costs, and assigns to appropriate vendors or internal teams.
Update Records and Schedule Next Check
All inspection data, photos, and maintenance actions are permanently logged. The system automatically schedules the next inspection and adjusts frequency if patterns indicate accelerated wear.
How It Works
Transition strips are critical safety components that experience constant foot traffic and stress at floor junctions. This intelligent system monitors inspection schedules, tracks wear patterns, and automatically triggers maintenance checks based on traffic levels, floor type, and manufacturer recommendations. By proactively managing transition strip condition across multiple properties, facility managers prevent liability issues, reduce emergency repair costs, and maintain professional aesthetics. The system integrates with your maintenance calendar, automatically documenting inspections with photos, generating work orders when issues are detected, and maintaining compliance records for insurance and warranty purposes.
The Trigger
The system monitors transition strip inspection schedules based on customizable intervals (monthly, quarterly, or traffic-based thresholds). When an inspection becomes due for any location, it automatically initiates the verification process, checking property calendars and technician availability to schedule the assessment.
The Action
Upon trigger activation, the system sends detailed inspection reminders to assigned technicians with location-specific checklists, previous inspection photos for comparison, and manufacturer specifications. If issues are detected during inspection, it automatically generates prioritized work orders, orders replacement materials based on inventory levels, updates maintenance logs, and notifies property managers with photo documentation and cost estimates.

Results You Can Expect
Prevent Liability Claims
Systematic inspections identify and address hazards before accidents occur. Documented maintenance records demonstrate due diligence, reducing legal exposure and insurance costs across your property portfolio.
Extend Floor System Lifespan
Properly maintained transition strips protect floor edges from damage, prevent moisture infiltration, and maintain proper height alignment. Early detection of issues prevents cascading damage to surrounding flooring materials.
Reduce Emergency Repair Costs
Proactive inspections catch minor wear before it becomes emergency failures. Planned replacements cost 60% less than emergency repairs and prevent business disruption from unexpected closures.
Maintain Warranty Compliance
Flooring warranties often require documented regular maintenance. The system automatically maintains inspection records, photos, and maintenance logs that satisfy manufacturer requirements and protect warranty coverage.
