How Zipflow Works

1

Complete field inspections on mobile

Field engineers complete digital asset inspection forms on mobile — even in remote locations without connectivity. GPS location, timestamp, and photo evidence are captured automatically.

2

Track maintenance and repair jobs

Maintenance work orders are created, assigned to crews, tracked through stages, and completed with digital sign-off — with a full history stored against each asset record.

3

Manage regulatory compliance

Compliance inspection schedules, permit-to-work workflows, and regulatory documentation are managed in Zipflow with automated reminders and audit-ready reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can field engineers use Zipflow in remote areas without signal?

Yes. Zipflow's mobile app works fully offline. Engineers can complete asset inspections, capture photos, and log fault reports without connectivity. Data syncs automatically when signal is restored.

How does Zipflow handle permit-to-work workflows?

Build custom PTW workflows with multi-stage approvals — from permit request to safety briefing sign-off to permit closure. All stages are timestamped and stored for audit purposes.

Can Zipflow manage compliance inspection schedules for network assets?

Yes. Set up scheduled inspection workflows for each asset class with automated work order generation when inspections are due and escalation alerts when they are overdue.

Does Zipflow integrate with GIS or asset management systems?

Zipflow integrates via API and Zapier, allowing data sync with GIS systems, CMMS, and asset management platforms. Contact us to discuss your specific integration requirements.

How does Zipflow scale for large utility networks with thousands of assets?

Zipflow is designed for large-scale operations. The asset registry supports unlimited records, and the mobile app can be deployed to large field teams with role-based access per region, district, or asset class.
