The software, from New York City-based EK Solutions Inc., lets users with portable PCs track outstanding "punchlist" items in the field and download data to office PCs for management and report creation. Using pen-based tablets or other Windows-compatible devices, field users can access a project’s line items and indicate with a simple check box whether each passes muster. Notes can be added to any entry and the data transferred to a server via a network connection.
Inspectors typically track punchlists on paper, requiring someone to type lists for distribution. Punchlister eliminates that and can sort issues by work type or subcontractor. Reports can then be generated for specific parties who have corrections to make. The reports can be either printed or saved as HTML files for electronic distribution.
