Would you dive without the right equipment, in the coatings industry quality control reporting is essential so stay ahead of your competitors and use IRIS Intelligent Reporting System.

Consistent, Compliant Quality on All Devices

Success in the protective coatings industry is becoming more reliant on the ability to maintain quality of painting inspection reports. Clients expect this essential paperwork to be delivered to the same standards of quality, consistency, and compliance every time.  

Coating contractors and inspectors are under increasing pressure to meet these expectations – and it’s hard, time-consuming work. 

If only you could compose a painting inspection report that ensured quality was maintained. Wouldn’t it be even better if each report were delivered in the exact same format, too, so that the reader knows exactly what to expect – and that the report conformed to international standards?

It’s probably too much to ask for a system that would do all this for you, and save you time, reduce your costs, and that is easy to use.

Say hello to IRIS. The digital painting inspection report technology used by contractors and inspectors to transform their reporting. 

Industry-leading technology with the power to transform your business

Contractors and inspectors spend a large portion of their time compiling reports. This time could be spent on doing what they do best – their ‘real’ work. Instead of this, they are expected to transform their notes and photos into reports to share internally or to send to clients. Compiling, collating, and formatting these reports can take hours – and the results are often not as professional as they should be.

IRIS allows all the reporting work to be completed at the touch of a button or click of a mouse. It’s safe and secure, fast, and efficient. You can use the system on-site, adding notes and photos that are then auto-formatted into a report template, even if you are offline. As soon as you have internet access, the report can be uploaded and sent to a client.

Saving your reputation by including regulatory changes

Staying updated with changing regulations can be difficult. If you accidently fail to consider new regulations within an inspection report, not only could it invalidate part of the report, or the entire report, it is damaging to your reputation. It also costs time and money to correct.

IRIS helps you mitigate this risk by including regulatory changes as they occur. That’s a huge weight off your shoulders.

What can you do on IRIS?

Unlike some other similar systems, IRIS is compatible with android and iOS – so users can access it from all smartphones and tablets, as well as laptops and desktops. Using your mobile device, you can:

• Add general site notes
• Add photos directly while on-site
• Review the report in PDF and send it to contacts
• Sign off on the report

Your desktop account links to your mobile device, allowing you to send daily reports from either. If the report needs input from multiple users, these can be set up with the system recognizing unique logins and recording usernames and signatures. This also enables fast and efficient report building when data is added over time, with that data recorded automatically by date.

From the desktop, you can:

• Create and send non-conformance reports
• Create and send technical queries
• Create and send Hand Arm Vibration (HAVS) Reports
• Create and send a Completion Certificate
• Manage Equipment (such as dry film thickness gauge, ambient conditions gauge, adhesion testing, and porosity testing equipment)

Easy compliance

IRIS enables easy compliance, too. It’s simple to add your:

• Surface preparation data including testing, selecting ISO, SSPC, and ASTM standards
• Paint application session, recording paint manufacturer and product, ambient conditions, batch numbers, application type etc.
