The Hydrajaws Verify Digital Reporting system allows on-site pull tests to be automatically recorded and compiled into a digital report using the Hydrajaws Verify App on a mobile phone or tablet device. These reports can be sent directly to clients or managers and are stored in the cloud to be accessed remotely anywhere on a browser in a user’s own company dashboard. The comprehensive report will include all test information including a pass or fail result, a visual results graph, fixing details, site location co-ordinates, date and time. Notes, images and photos taken on-site can also be added. Using the Dashboard, a company administrator can review all test reports from all company users. They can also add notes to reports and send them directly to customers. The Dashboard contains all essential information including: - All company devices and their calibration dates. - All company users and licences. - A GPS map containing all test sites. - A list of Hydrajaws Approved International Service Centres. This revolutionary system has many advantages over the current industry technique which include: • Uneditable digital results recorded with time, date and GPS location of each test are indisputable proof a test has been completed. • Streamline your workflow by pre-setting job details before arriving on-site. • Graphs and photos can be viewed with clients to explain why tests may not have met the required standard (not possible using analogue gauges). • Automated processes allow for quicker testing and less set up time - especially on sites with many identical repetitive tests to perform. • This system allows for more accountability for time spent on-site. • Test evidence can be provided electronically from site to clients in a completed report, saving time on unnecessary paperwork (requires Wi-Fi or Mobile Network Signal). Hydrajaws Verify PRO app is fully featured and FREE to use with NO SUBSCRIPTION required. Ideal for single users. Upgrading to Verify TEAMS allows an administrator to manage your testing by creating and editing clients, sites and tasks centrally and assign remotely to your team of field testers. Annual subscription fee applies. Up to 3 users £300 then £125 per additional user up to 10 users. Above 10 users POA. Compatible with Apple devices such as smartphone/Tablet.
