In her recent article for Building Services Management Magazine, ServiceTrade Chief Product Officer Brook Bock explains how leading facilities teams and their service contractors are using technology to transform inspections from a compliance obligation into an operational advantage.

Technology-enabled inspection workflows help facilities teams achieve inspections that are complete, accurate, and defensible, giving them transparency, faster reporting, and greater confidence in their compliance. By capturing and organizing inspection data digitally, facilities managers gain powerful insights into asset health, system performance, and future capital planning.

As Brook explains, platforms like ServiceTrade make it possible to:

• Track every fire and life safety asset and inspection digitally
• Capture real-time data from the field, including photos and signatures
• Automate inspection scheduling and reporting
• Maintain auditable, centralized compliance records

These capabilities aren’t just improving compliance — they’re building smarter, safer, and more efficient facilities.
