i-Reporter
The ultimate paperless solution for reporting
with iPad, iPhone, and Windows tablets.
What is i-Reporter?
What normally an inspector has to do in the inspection work at the manufacturing site or warehouse involves a very long process. From filling in the information on a paper form, taking pictures on the site with a digital camera, and then going back to the office to enter the information on the paper into the PC (data entry), or import the photographed data to PC. Such a process is time consuming and may cause human errors in the process.
i-Reporter was born to solve that problem. It is the paperless solution for reporting with iPad, iPhone, and Windows tablets.
i-Reporter consists of four elements. The ConMas Server that stores data, the ConMas Manager for system management, the ConMas Designer that defines forms, and the i-Reporter application.
i-Reporter is widely used regardless of the type of business, such as manufacturing sites, warehouses, construction sites, etc.
