Best Inspection Report Software There Is
InspectionXpert is an amazing tool, I actually liked it so much I wrote an article about it in the May/June 2018 issue of my professional associations magazine "The Ontario Technologist". It has saved me a lot of time and frustration having to create multiple inspection drawings and report and InspectionXpert does a really great job of streamlining the whole process.
PROSVery design change friendly. Older revisions of technical drawings can be changed out with newer ones very quickly without tampering with the drawing. Minimal adjustment of balloon position is necessary in some case and this feature saves us thousands of dollars per year.
CONSOCR sometimes does not work and you have to delete the measurement value and type it in manually this also applies to tolerances. This was experienced on .pdf files that were scanned in. Files that were exported from CAD directly did not exhibit this issue to the same extent. we do not do our own CAD work so we use InspectionXpert exclusively with customer supplied .pdf files.
Vendor Response
Jason, Wow, thanks so much for the kind words! We're so grateful to have you as a customer, and glad to hear you enjoy using our software. We are working on improving the OCR. If you're interested, we'd love to get your feedback on new versions of our software. Please respond to this comment, or reach out to us through our website.

Quality Engineer who uses Action Management, Audit, Calibration & Documents modules on a daily basis
The design and subsequent layout is very user friendly, I personally I like that the different modules all have their own search boxes so that your Clipboard and "Mental Clipboard" don't have to keep numbers in them, they can be dumped in each module and referred back to in the future. I also find the search function across all modules to be very helpful considering the amount of records that my company has created.
CONSI find the Audit module to be difficult to follow in regards to how the months are displayed visually, only the 12 months of the year are visible when the module opens. It has been my experience across various companies and corresponding industries that annaul Audits for example, are often performed after their scheduled date and would therefore not be visible, as an improvement I would reccomend expanding this to include the 3 months both proceeding & following the scheduled Audit month. I don't believe this would drastically effect the overall layout of the module window as currently there is a "dead space" between the ending of even our longest worded Audit Title until the 12 calendar months are shown. If it would not be too development and/or CPU intensive I would recommend an algorithim be implemented in to the search function of the Calibration module specifically that includes in the search results potential spelling errors within the Number, as again in my experience, many spelling mistakes are made on calibration labels/mis-interpretations of their spelling & numbering. For example the Number 053 may be written on a calibration sticker but be mis-interpreted as 058, 038, 088 etc when inputting on to Q-Pulse meaning it will not show up in the results when someone searches for what they have read on the sticker.

Excellent tool, great support
InspectionXpert has provided a repeatable, easy method for ballooning inspection drawings. The Excel based output is easy to integrate into our current reporting system, saving us time and effort. Very happy with the product provided.
PROSQuick learning curve, easy to customize outputs, saves time in creation and storage of ballooned inspection drawings.
CONSSoftware updates occasionally create breaks in software, v1.0 to v2.0 updates removed features that were commonly used.
Vendor Response
Jason, Thanks so much for being a customer of InspectionXpert. We're glad to hear that the software is helping you save time. We hear you on the updates, and we're doing our best to improve how we release updates to our software, and improving communication on those fronts.

Inspectionxpert is Awesome!!
I have been able to streamline our print ballooning and dimension record making eith this software!
PROSI have been using inspectionxpert for about 5 years now and I love it!! I was for a very long time ballooning prints in solidworks or in Adobe PDF. This software make ballooning so much easier!! I learned aboutnthe CMMexpert portion of it just recently and its a huge help. It saves me fro km having to type over 300 results into a 1st article form. Also their customer service is top notch and they offer as much free training as you want!
CONSSo far in the time I have not found anything that I do not like about the software

InspectionXpert is a major time saver.
I wish I would have started using it sooner. My customers always give me positive feedback on how great our certification packages look. Our supervisors want all of our old in-process inspection procedures updated with bubbled drawings and inspection reports generated from InspectionXpert.
PROSI like that the software is simple to use and has both metric and standard dimensional outputs available. The software having AS9102 forms and our internal quality forms attached as templates that we can export the bubbled dimensions into is a huge time saver.
CONSWould be nice if it was easier for the users to import their own forms.
Vendor Response
Jason, Thanks for your feedback, and for being a customer of InspectionXpert! We're so glad to hear you're getting value from the product. If you have specific feedback about how we could make bringing in your forms easier, we'd love to hear that too.

Great software, the best customer service
I have been using IX for a couple years now and they have the best customer service hands down. This is a great tool that saves us a lot of time, and they are an AMAZING company that really does want each customer to succeed.
PROSThis software is quite easy to learn, very intuitive, and there are plenty of how-to guides and videos. If you find anything you can't quite figure out, one call to their customer success team will have you sorted out.
CONSSetting up the export templates was somewhat time consuming, but their team provided help if needed.

Great product that is always improving
Overall it's a great product have not found one better. It saves us time and headaches and we have been successful with it. Once OCR is in place it would be a complete product. Customer support has been exceptional with these guys.
PROSEase of use, ability to export to excel, drawing compare feature is awesome! Lots of flexibility and preferences can customize to your liking.
CONSOCR is not good. I know they are working to improve it but it's so poor I wouldn't have even included it. I think a big part of this is due to customers having different fonts they use and I believe our font we use on most of our drawings was a big culprit. There is the ability to train your font to the OCR system and I believe they should of offered this as an option to customers, we would of paid for it. We use a NX font variation and was not able to get it into the correct format for training.
Vendor Response
Thanks so much for your feedback. We'd love to work with you further on improving the OCR so that it works for your drawings.

Q-Pulse FAI
A asset to our FAIR process.
PROSQ-Pulse FAIR is our main resource to generate FAI reports. Keeping all necessary documents in a primary location for individual reports is a great advantage. Completing forms, ballooning drawings and gathering documents are all easy processes.
CONSThe file location system (not Windows Explorer) is in dire need of an update. Navigation of folders is very limited and restricting.There doesn't appear to be a way of feeding back to the developers with any recommendations for improvement (other than surveys like this one). A monitored forum, for all users of Q-Pulse, to be able to offer feedback and improvement suggestions would be an improvement in itself. I believe this software sould be continually updated but i've not seen an update in several months.
Reason for choosing Ideagen Quality Control
This was already a product owned by my company but wasn't being used for First Articles. It was implemented by me as a FAIR tool, several years ago.

Great Customer Service!
I recently had a FAIR that was due, and I could not export it to Net inspect. CSR at Inspection Xpert took my call and helped me right away. She kept emailing and checking to see how the solution was coming along with Net Inspect. I really appreciate the following up, especially because this was a high priority problem that needed a solution FAST.
PROSIf there is any question or concern that you might have, Customer Service is great at explaining. Even trying to jump on your computer and help you. A lot of companies do not go the extra mile, but Inspection Xpert does!
CONSNothing, this software is easy to maneuver around.
