Thread Forms pairs with TBL’s web application to digitize recurring inspections, testing, and maintenance tasks in facilities. By replacing paper-based processes, it ensures accurate data capture, improved compliance, and real-time tracking of work orders. Tasks within Thread typically fall into four main categories: * Fire & Life Safety: Ensures that critical safety equipment, such as fire alarms and fire sprinkler systems, are inspected and tested to meet regulatory requirements. * Maintenance: Maintenance tasks to keep equipment running efficiently, reduce downtime, and extend asset life. * Rounds & Readings: Involves routine checks of equipment and systems to track performance and detect early issues.
