A Modern Approach to Inspection & Rounds

The Challenge: Managing High Volume Inspections

Beyond standard preventative and corrective maintenance, Facilities Management, Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S), and Clinical Engineering teams face the heavy administrative burden of mandatory periodic inspections.

These resource-intensive tasks are non-negotiable and include:

• Safety Equipment Inspections: Verifying fire extinguishers, exit signs, eye-wash stations, and emergency lighting.
• Environment of Care Checks: Identifying trip hazards, unsecured oxygen tanks, hallway obstructions, or improper storage.
• EH&S Assessments: Conducting comprehensive department and room safety inspections.
• Custodial Reviews: Confirming floor cleanliness, trash removal, and room turnover.

While these inspections ensure safety and compliance, the traditional tools used to manage them often create more work than they save.

The Conventional Approach: Manual Process & Data Gaps

Teams relying on home-grown tools or legacy CMMS solutions struggle to keep pace with these demands.

Paper-based processes create inefficiencies, introduce errors, and leave significant data gaps that hinder reporting. Furthermore, inflexible systems lack the logic to handle grouped tasks. For example, a facility with 200 exit signs generates 200 individual work orders—a cumbersome process that floods the technician’s queue and complicates data management multiple times a year.

Organizations no longer need to accept this administrative trade-off. Nuvolo replaces manual friction with intelligent automation.

The Modern Alternative: Nuvolo Connected Workplace

Nuvolo transforms this disjointed process with “Work Rounds.”

This feature empowers teams to conduct and record routine inspections on a scheduled basis, covering pre-arranged and sequenced stops. Whether identifying locations (e.g., rooms) or specific assets (e.g., fire extinguishers), administrators replace hundreds of individual tasks with a single, streamlined Work Round in seconds.

This strategic shift translates directly into operational speed for the field team.

Elevating Routine Inspections with Mobile-First Efficiency

Technicians execute Work Rounds directly from their mobile devices, turning complex compliance requirements into a simple, guided workflow.

The native application leads them through a sequenced route—location by location or asset by asset—where they complete digital checklists instantly.

• Accelerate Verification: Users scan barcoded assets or locations with their mobile device to verify presence and automatically log the inspection.
• Remediate Seamlessly: When an asset fails an inspection, the technician opens a corrective work order immediately at the point of service, ensuring no issue falls through the cracks.
• Schedule Intelligently: Nuvolo’s advanced scheduler runs Work Rounds at any interval (daily, weekly, quarterly) or specific pattern (e.g., every 3rd Thursday). When due, the assignment automatically populates the technician’s “My Work Rounds” module.
• Gain Real-Time Visibility: As technicians report progress on-site, dashboards for open, completed, and in-progress Work Rounds update instantly, providing immediate audit-readiness and operational transparency.

Conclusion: Close the Loop on Compliance and Efficiency

Nuvolo Work Rounds eliminates the friction of manual inspections, transforming static paper checklists into dynamic, data-rich workflows. By consolidating high-volume tasks into a single mobile experience, organizations reduce administrative noise, improve technician productivity, and ensure total audit-readiness without the headache of managing hundreds of individual work orders.
