What amazing apps we are seeing coming from the IMSI/Design people. After working a very long career on construction jobs these apps are making things much easier to record data, pictures, videos etc… I have walked around doing punch lists but had to write everything down as to location, problem and even a proposed fix to it. This would have been so much easier to use but of course we did not even have cell phones back then either. 🙁
