Partner Field Inspection System
The Partner Field Inspection System provides a robust and simple interface for data collection and inspection tracking. Employees in the field work with your existing map data and fill out simple, configurable data forms. Automatic synchronization delivers collected data to your office, where employees can view it on the map, print reports or export to a variety of formats. The Inspection System is the foundation for any number of inspection modules of your choosing. Partner sells and supports both standardized and custom modules.
Modules that are currently available: Distribution Inspection, Damage Assessment and Right of Way.
Modules that are in development: Joint Use, Field Inventory and Substation Inspection.

Distribution Inspection
Partner's Distribution Inspection Module helps every crew with a field computer comply with your organization's mandated RUS inspection cycle.
Each crew has an easy-to-complete computer form that is synchronized upon return to the office. This inspection tracks the condition of overhead, underground and meter equipment. It displays inspections directly on the map. Inspectors report each of these inspections with a color-coded priority so repair crews can be quickly dispatched to correct the problems.
Inspections can then be filtered by any data collected via the Inspection System's on-map Filter Table. This Filter Table also provides various reporting methods and exports.
Distribution Inspection stores a historical archive for every inspection ever created. Over time, this creates the ability to view and analyze your organization's entire inspection history. Site-licensed, the Distribution Inspection Module can be used by anyone, from specific inspectors to field crews.
Aging and reissue methods provide automatic notification, which is established and maintained by your organization when it is time to reinspect your system.
Using the color-coded priority system, equipment that is due to be reinspected will automatically change color based on a time line of your choosing. Distribution Inspection makes inspection compliance for insurance and legal purposes easy to schedule and record.
Damage Assessment
Developed primarily for emergency situations, the Damage Assessment Module is an application that provides rapid field reporting and damage updates.
A field crew working quickly in the aftermath of a storm can indicate types of damage, severity of damage and location by various quick entry methods. If linked to GPS, the damage icons will appear on the map in the exact location of the damage. This allows your main office and crews to stay regularly updated on types of damage and their severity.
Right of Way
Partner's Right of Way Module provides a simple, on-map interface for viewing and organizing your vegetation management process. In the field, this application includes quick entry methods for logging different types of work that have been completed while tracking their schedules and progress. In the office, the module includes many features for reporting, assignment, and aging as well as filtering data and running a variety of analyses and calculations.
