Inspections & condition

Any inspection, scored your way, approved and acted on

Design the inspection forms your teams need, score them your way, and route them for approval. Once approved, the result updates the asset automatically and the follow-up work can start.

Inspections that lead somewhere

An inspection is only worth what happens after it. Mintema connects every finding to the asset, the approval and the repair.

Your own forms

Combine rating scales, checklists, defects, measurements, photos and signatures into the forms you need.

Your scoring method

Score 1 to 5, 1 to 9, or by condition grade C1 to C4. Reuse the same scales across forms.

Defects with evidence

Every defect carries its severity, measurement, location and photos, and can be flagged as urgent.

Approvals in stages

Inspector, reviewer, engineer, director. Each one approves, returns or rejects, with an optional signature.

Condition updates itself

The approved result updates the asset’s condition and status, and affected assets are flagged.

A report ready to sign

A complete printed report with summary, photos, findings and approvals, generated in one click.

See it live

Rate a part and watch what follows

The score is not the end of the job. It decides what happens to the asset and to the work plan.

  3. 03

    Approve

    The inspection moves through your approval chain, with signatures where needed.

Closed loop

From finding to fix to proof

A defect becomes a work order. The repair is recorded against the defect, and closing the work marks it as fixed. The next inspection starts from that history.

  • Work orders from findings
  • Repairs linked to defects
  • Full history per part

Business value

What a connected inspection process is worth

Every site visit costs money. Mintema makes sure each one produces approved, usable data and the right next step.

Less paperwork

No retyping from paper and no report assembly. The report is generated from the approved data.

Always audit-ready

Every score, photo, signature and approval is on the record.

Earlier repairs

Trends per part show problems while repairs are still small.

Budget where it counts

Approved findings decide priorities, so money goes to the parts that need it.
