Abstract
Methods and systems consistent with the present invention provide for performing a facility inspection. A mobile data collection device or client receives scheduling information corresponding to an inspection to be performed at a facility. The mobile data collection device or client collects inspection data corresponding to the inspection to be performed at the facility and causes the inspection data to be stored in a database. Thereafter, the mobile data collection device or client may modify the stored inspection data using a web interface. Scheduling information is updated based on the stored inspection data.
