Petaluma Improves Productivity by Empowering its Mobile Inspection Teams

Wireless technology helps inspector’s complete tasks more efficiently in the field

The City was looking for a mobile government solution that could streamline inspection management services and improve productivity in the field.

The Solution

The City implemented Accela Wireless™ for its building inspectors, giving them access to permit-related data in the field and improving data quality and storage for the entire agency.

The Result

The City has seen a marked improved in how inspections are processed by the Department. Inspectors are happy with their mobile system and office staffs are pleased with the reduction in paperwork and phone calls.
