Team checklists, inspections and audits for every location β done together, live. Everyone on shift works on the same checklist, and every item shows who checked it and when. Your data is hosted on a server in Germany, with privacy under the GDPR and no tracking or analytics SDKs. Not OK? Take a photo and the issue is logged automatically. Managers get a push notification when a checklist isnβt done by its due time. Pricing depends on your number of locations, with the whole team included. Ready-made templates for gyms, retail stores, medical practices, restaurants and facilities get you started in minutes. LIVE TEAMWORK Several team members can work on the same checklist at once. Answers appear instantly on every device. Streaks, points and an optional team leaderboard keep routines going β the admin switches the leaderboard on, and every member can hide themselves. INSPECTIONS WITH PHOTO PROOF Every item is answered OK, Not OK or N/A. Photos are taken right in the app and can be mandatory for important items. Anything that is not OK automatically becomes an issue with a note and photo, and it stays on its locationβs list until the resolution is documented. REPORTS AND RECORDS See what was done, what was missed and what is still open β by day, checklist and team member. Export any check as a PDF inspection report: result per item, notes, photos, issues, who checked and completed it and when, with a report ID. Admins can also create a monthly log per location as a PDF (completion rate, missed checks, open and resolved issues) and export checks, answers and issues for any period as CSV β a clear record for internal audits. SHIFT PLAN (OPTIONAL) If you like, plan your shifts in ImpulsCheck too β included in your subscription and switched on per team: shift types per location, recurring shifts (every week or every 2β4 weeks), single shifts, open shifts that members can pick up, absences and copying a week. Everyone sees who is on duty today and their own plan, and gets a notification when the plan changes. Checklists can be linked to shifts: whoever is on duty sees them first and gets the reminders. The shift plan does not replace working-time recording. READY-MADE TEMPLATES Choose your industry during setup β gym, store/retail, medical practice, food service, workplace/facility or general β and start with ready-made checklists for opening, closing, hygiene, safety and maintenance, including a HACCP hygiene checklist for kitchens. Every template can be adapted, and you can create your own checklists at any time.

Verdict
