The eField application extends the back office ePZB Building Application into the mobile workforce to improve efficiency and customer service. These solutions effectively eliminate paper, increase convenience, reduce errors, and bring real-time information to Building Inspectors in the field. The eField application enables field personnel (Building Inspectors) to access their daily schedule or itinerary remotely. It gives inspectors the option to retrieve permits and historical records related to their assigned inspections. eField automatically sends inspection results, violations, and comments back to the office system and enables inspectors to generate on-site inspection results or violation notices. Inspectors are constantly updated on inspection assignments and routing changes, whether the device is connected wirelessly or outside any wireless network range. The eField application is a progressive web application, which means it works on all devices ranging from desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile phones. The eField application gets updated automatically with latest updates without users needing to do any downloads or Admins needing to push any updates.
