Quality inspections & audits
Run template-driven checklist inspections with automatic pass/fail scoring, a critical-item override that fails the inspection outright regardless of the overall score, and non-conformance follow-up that's raised the moment a checklist item fails - no re-typing, no separate tracker.
Every inspection renders as a scorecard - a score-percentage ring plus a row of small pass/fail/N-A dots for each checklist item, so overall results and the detail behind them are both visible without opening anything.
Mark specific checklist items as critical when building a template. A single failed critical item fails the whole inspection outright, no matter how high the overall percentage comes out - a fire exit blocked isn't a 95% pass.
Ships with fire safety walkaround, scaffold handover check and supplier QC audit templates. Build your own for solar, vehicle or any other checklist and reuse it across every inspection of that type.
No re-typing. Every failed checklist item is raised as a non-conformance with a corrective action field, an owner and a due date (14 days out by default) the moment the inspection is saved.
The Non-conformances tab lists every failed item across every inspection with its status, owner and due date, and flags overdue ones - so nothing failed quietly disappears.
Templates, inspection volume, overall pass rate and open non-conformances at a glance, plus a pass-rate breakdown by category so you can see which type of inspection is failing most.
Print or export a clean report of any inspection - checklist, scores and any non-conformances raised. Export the whole non-conformance register to CSV for a supplier meeting or a client handover pack.
Filter inspections by template, category, result or subject. Light/dark theme remembers your choice, and sample templates and inspections let you explore scoring and non-conformances before logging your own.

Each checklist item is marked pass, fail or not applicable. The score is the percentage of applicable items that passed, checked against a pass threshold you set in Settings (80% by default). But any single failed item marked critical fails the whole inspection outright, regardless of the overall score - a 95% inspection with one failed critical item still fails.
Every failed checklist item automatically becomes a non-conformance on the Non-conformances tab, with a corrective action field, an owner and a due date (14 days out by default). Nothing has to be re-typed or copied across from the inspection.
Yes. Templates ship for fire safety walkarounds, scaffold handover checks and supplier QC audits, but you can build your own from scratch - add any checklist items you need and mark specific ones as critical.
Tools like Site Induction Tracker, PPE Issue Tracker or Tool & Equipment Calibration Tracker are registers - they tell you when something next needs renewing or replacing. Inspection & QC Audit Manager is a checklist scoring tool - it records what happened during a specific inspection, scores it pass or fail, and tracks the follow-up work when it fails.
Yes - open any inspection and use Print / export for a clean, printable report of the checklist, scores and any non-conformances raised. Non-conformances can also be exported to CSV from the Non-conformances tab.
Yes - Inspection & QC Audit Manager uses the same shared Metre2 account as Vector, Forma and every other Keystone app. Sign in once and it works everywhere.
