Manual Survey Workflow vs. AuditPRO Asbestos App Survey Workflow
(Example scenario: 1 medium-size facility, 40–60 ACM locations, typical Australian WHS-required asbestos survey)
- Field Survey Time
Manual Workflow
- Paper notes, manual sketches
- Separate camera device, later matching photos to notes
- Re-entering location codes/room IDs
- Typical time: 3.5–4.5 hours
AuditPRO Workflow
- Direct digital capture on mobile/tablet
- Photos auto-linked to the exact survey item
- Tap-to-select condition, material type, risk, sample taken, etc.
- Pre-loaded site plans → faster navigation
- Typical time: 2–2.5 hours
Time saved: 1.5–2 hours per site (approximately 40–50%)
- Data Entry & Administration
Manual Workflow
- Transcribing handwritten notes
- Manually inserting 40–90 photos into Word/PDF
- Renaming photo files
- Typing all register entries from scratch
- Typical time: 3–4 hours
AuditPRO Workflow
- No transcription: all data captured accurately on-site
- Photos auto-attached to each ACM record
- Condition & risk fields automatically structured for the register
- Typical time: 0.5–1 hour (mostly review)
Time saved: 2.5–3 hours per site (approximately 75–85%)
- Asbestos Register Production
Manual Workflow
- Build register manually (Excel + Word)
- Multiple formatting passes
- Cross-check photos, samples, and room numbers
- Typical time: 2–3 hours
AuditPRO Workflow
- Register generated instantly from survey data
- Includes:
- ACM location
- Photos
- Risk assessment
- Recommended controls
- Sample IDs
- Typical time: 10–15 minutes
Time saved: 1.5–2.5 hours per site (approximately 80–90%)
- Report Finalisation & Client Delivery
Manual Workflow
- Compile register + site plan + photos
- PDF creation
- Uploading and emailing
- Typical time: 1–1.5 hours
AuditPRO Workflow
- Instant export to PDF
- Cloud sharing via dashboard
- Typical time: 10–20 minutes
Time saved: 40–60 minutes per site
TOTAL TIME SAVINGS (Per Site)
Manual total: 10–13 hours
AuditPRO total: 3–4.5 hours
Overall Reduction: 6–8.5 hours per site
Equivalent to a 60–70% reduction in survey + reporting time
Value at Portfolio Scale (e.g., 80 Sites Across WA)
Manual:
10–13 hours × 80 = 800–1,040 hours
With AuditPRO:
3–4.5 hours × 80 = 240–360 hours
Time saved across portfolio:
560–680 hours saved
= 14–17 full work weeks of survey/report production eliminated
= Significant cost savings & faster compliance
Why this matters for Government & Large Enterprises
These efficiency gains deliver:
- Faster asbestos compliance across large estates
- Lower survey cost per site
- Greater report consistency & accuracy
- Immediate access to compliant digital registers
- Reduction of errors and omissions
- Dramatically shorter turnaround time for critical decisions
