Digital Reporting with Buffalo Inspection Services
Buffalo Inspection Services
Buffalo Inspection Services, faced with strict regulatory compliance and federally mandated non-destructive testing (NDT) reporting requirements, sought to address inefficiencies in their current paper-based data entry process. To transform their manual operations, they partnered with Punchcard to implement a digital reporting and data entry system aimed at reducing inefficiencies and mitigating risks. This digital approach enabled Buffalo to enhance their reporting process, establishing quality assurance and control measures to maintain high data quality and integrity. In early 2013, they launched Buffalo Connex, a portal designed to streamline data entry and digitize field reporting. This custom job management platform allows service technicians and contractors to remotely input test results directly into a digital system, offering a centralized space to manage and track work orders, inventory, project hours, equipment, and invoicing.
