Tools: Handheld Auditing Software

foAudits (Fundamental Objects Auditing Toolset) is a PDA-based, handheld auditing tool for energy audits, inspections and surveys. foAudits has versions for phone, PalmOS and Windows Mobile devices.

You can create your own audits, or use one of the audits that are supplied with the package. Audit templates are first created or placed within a Windows Microsoft database, which is optionally provided with the tool. You can enter and use your own customer list within this database. This allows you to have one person to set up audits for a number of inspectors in advance of each day’s work.

Once completed in the field, the audits are then Hotsynced (copied), ActiveSynced or otherwise moved back into the Windows database. From there you can use the supplied reporting features, or move the captured data to another one of your systems.
