Startup Idea: Oil and Gas Facility Inspection Software

Startup idea to develop a specialized software application for the Oil and Gas industry that allows inspectors to efficiently gather, organize and report on facility inspections. The solution should run on mobile devices enabling field data collection and include features such as customizable forms, photo capturing, remote data transmission and real-time reporting.

I work in the oil and gas industry. One of the ongoing issues we have is keeping up with facilities inspection.

Facilities can include pipelines, oil storage and transload facilities, well heads, etc. Currently the data is collected by an inspector who goes to the site and fills in an Excel spread sheet. what we need is:

1. Photos of the facility tied to an inspection form that runs on a phone or tablet.
2. A form that is easy to navigate that outlines the facilities condition
3. Different forms for different types of facilities (i.e., the well head form might have a place for pressure, status, etc.)
4. The capability to send the report over wifi or cell to our main servers.
5. Mapping and work prioritization capabilities so the inspectors know which areas need to be covered on a particular day.
6. Safety features - if the inspector has reported to a site and there has beed no activity in a certain amount of time,a supervisor would be notified.

We use spread sheets. Have looked for a solution but it is very specialized. Search terms might include "facility inspection, Oil and gas inspection software, etc."
