How This Automation Works
Inspection Due Date Approaching → Inspection Scheduled and Documented
Monitor Inspection Due Dates
The system continuously tracks all commercial accounts and identifies upcoming inspection deadlines based on contract terms, regulatory schedules, or preventive maintenance intervals. When an inspection becomes due within your specified advance notice period, the automation triggers the scheduling process.
Generate Detailed Work Orders
Automatically creates comprehensive work orders containing property address, hardware inventory, previous inspection findings, compliance checklists, access instructions, and client-specific requirements. The work order includes all information technicians need to complete thorough inspections efficiently.
Assign Qualified Technicians
The system evaluates technician certifications, current schedules, geographic proximity, and specialization to assign the most appropriate technician for each inspection. It optimizes routing to group nearby inspections and maximizes daily productivity while ensuring compliance expertise.
Send Automated Notifications
Dispatches notifications to assigned technicians with work order details and schedule information, sends advance notice to clients confirming inspection dates and times, and updates relevant stakeholders including property managers or facility directors based on your communication protocols.
Update Dispatch Calendar
Automatically adds inspection appointments to your master schedule, blocks technician availability to prevent conflicts, provides mobile access for field technicians, and maintains real-time visibility into inspection status for office staff and management.
Document Findings and Generate Reports
Upon completion, technicians log inspection findings directly into the system using mobile devices. The automation generates standardized compliance reports, photographs deficiencies, documents hardware conditions, and creates complete records meeting regulatory and client requirements.
Schedule Follow-Up Work
Automatically identifies hardware requiring repair or replacement based on inspection findings, generates quotes for necessary work, schedules follow-up appointments with appropriate lead times, and tracks completion of all deficiency remediation to ensure full compliance closure.
Reset Inspection Cycles
After successful inspection completion, the system automatically calculates and schedules the next inspection due date based on contract terms or regulatory requirements, ensuring continuous compliance monitoring and eliminating the risk of missed deadlines for future inspection cycles.
How It Works
Commercial locksmith businesses face increasing pressure to maintain regular hardware inspections for compliance, safety, and preventive maintenance. This automation eliminates manual scheduling bottlenecks by automatically generating inspection schedules based on regulatory requirements, building codes, and client contracts. When inspection dates approach, the system triggers notifications to both technicians and clients, creates work orders with complete property details and previous inspection history, and updates your scheduling board in real-time. After inspections, the system automatically logs findings, generates compliance reports, and schedules follow-up work for any hardware requiring repair or replacement. This end-to-end automation ensures no commercial property falls out of compliance while maximizing technician utilization and reducing administrative overhead. Perfect for locksmith businesses managing multiple commercial accounts, property management relationships, or government contracts requiring documented inspection cycles.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when a commercial hardware inspection deadline is approaching based on contract terms, regulatory schedules (annual, semi-annual, quarterly), or preventive maintenance intervals. Triggers can also activate when new commercial accounts are onboarded, when previous inspection findings require follow-up, or when clients submit inspection requests through your customer portal.
The Action
The system automatically creates detailed work orders with property information, hardware inventory, and inspection checklists, assigns qualified technicians based on certification and availability, sends automated notifications to clients and staff, updates the dispatch calendar, generates compliance documentation upon completion, and schedules any necessary follow-up work for repairs or hardware replacement identified during inspection.
