Asset inspection is a critical component of infrastructure management, but many agencies struggle with inefficient tools and systems that slow down the process and increase the risk of errors. Across the United States, inspection teams and engineers face a shared set of hurdles that slow down operations, strain resources, and introduce room for error.
Before we dive into solutions, let’s first highlight the everyday friction that agencies and inspectors experience in their day-to-day operations.
If you’ve worked in asset inspections, you’ve probably felt the gap between what your tools should do—and what they actually deliver.
Let’s break it down:
All of this adds up to a fragmented workflow that affects not just productivity, but also the quality and consistency of data. These aren’t isolated pain points—they’re part of a broader disconnect between what inspection teams need and what most systems actually deliver.
At AssetIntel™, we understand these challenges. That’s why we developed inspectX™—not just as a bridge inspection platform, but as a complete, connected solution for managing the entire lifecycle of asset inspections.
With inspectX™ and its built-in capabilities, we tackle these challenges head-on—automating manual tasks, simplifying compliance, and streamlining every stage of the workflow. The platform includes tools that directly support FHWA’s metric review process, and its architecture is purpose-built to align with the latest NBIS regulations and SNBI coding guide. This helps agencies meet federal requirements with greater accuracy and far less manual effort—so they can focus on what truly matters: managing and maintaining their infrastructure more effectively.
So, how does that work in practice? Let’s dive into how inspectX™ addresses each of these challenges, starting with the very first roadblock most users encounter: logging in.
Let’s start with the everyday headache of logging in. Across teams, people are stuck juggling multiple credentials just to get basic access—slowing them down and exposing systems to unnecessary risk. inspectX™ streamlines all of that with Single Sign-On (SSO) integration that fits right into your existing IT setup.
inspectX™ supports a wide range of identity providers, including:
No more password fatigue or access delays. With OIDC-based authentication, users can log in using the credentials they already know and trust—whether they're in the office or on-site (field).
This not only eliminates redundant logins but also enhances system security and compliance with internal IT policies. Agencies can manage access centrally, enforce stronger authentication protocols, and onboard or offboard users with ease.
In short, inspectX™ helps you keep things secure and simple—without the back-and-forth.
Once users are in, the next hurdle is managing all the data—from inspection reports to photo libraries. Paper trails, messy folders, lost files—we’ve all been there. For agencies juggling thousands of inspection reports and photos, keeping data organized, accessible, and compliant is a daily challenge.
inspectX™ tackles this head-on with built-in tools designed to take the manual work off your plate.
Once an inspection is approved, the last thing your team should worry about is saving the report in the correct location. This add-on takes care of it automatically.
You control the naming conventions, folder structures, and storage destinations—whether that’s SFTP, Google Drive, OneDrive, AWS, Azure, or AssetIntel™’s secure cloud.
It’s designed to adapt to your ecosystem and reduce human error while saving valuable time.
Photos and supporting files are critical for compliance and documentation—but keeping them organized shouldn’t be a full-time job.
This add-on organizes your multimedia using pre-set folder structures and naming rules, storing them directly to your cloud of choice.
No more digging through folders or manually tagging files. Your data stays organized and ready for review—automatically.
Together, these tools turn chaotic data management into a seamless, automated workflow—getting your inspection records where they need to go, no clicks required.
Staying on top of inspection progress, compliance deadlines, and inspector efficiency can feel like a constant juggling act. inspectX™ helps agencies replace the reactive scramble with proactive insight.
No more guesswork or late follow-ups. This add-on delivers real-time notifications when:
You control what gets flagged, who gets notified, and when—making operations smoother and more accountable.
Want to know how long an inspector spent on a bridge? Or which bridge types consistently take longer in your region?
This add-on tracks:
It automatically generates reports that help managers spot bottlenecks, measure efficiency, and set realistic benchmarks—backed by real-world data.
Together, these tools transform inspection oversight from reactive to strategic, all within the inspectX™ ecosystem.
Even the best inspection software falls short if it doesn't play well with others. inspectX™ is built with connectivity in mind, making it easy to keep your inspection data in sync across platforms.
Manual data entry? That’s a thing of the past. With live BrM integration, inspectX™:
inspectX™ is seamlessly integrated with AASHTO BrM, allowing smooth data transfer between the two systems. This ensures inspectors, managers, and DOT agencies are always working from a single, consistent data set.
Onboarding historical data or moving large volumes between systems? The built-in migration portal simplifies the process with:
Whether you’re rolling out a new system or managing legacy data, inspectX™ ensures the handoff is smooth.
Transparency matters—and inspectX™ makes it easy to share the right information with the public while maintaining internal control.
With a customizable portal, inspectX™ allows agencies to:
Its transparency made simple: empower the public with easy access, while maintaining the security and structure your agency needs.
Maintaining data accuracy and meeting federal compliance standards are critical to the success of any asset management program. inspectX™ supports both by helping agencies comply with the FHWA’s National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) and the new Specifications for the National Bridge Inventory (SNBI). With built-in validation tools, SNBI-compatible data structures, and streamlined reporting workflows, inspectX™ reduces errors, ensures inspection consistency, and simplifies data export for federal submissions.
Data entry errors—whether minor typos or structural inconsistencies—can lead to compliance issues and inefficiencies across the inspection process. The Error Checker tool helps agencies catch these problems early by validating information as it’s entered.
It allows users to:
This proactive approach not only improves data reliability but also reduces the need for time-consuming corrections later in the process.
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) performance metrics are a key component of modern bridge inspection programs. The FHWA Metrics feature within inspectX™ enables agencies to track compliance with these standards throughout the year, rather than relying solely on post-inspection reviews.
Key capabilities include:
By integrating compliance tracking into day-to-day workflows, inspectX™ helps agencies maintain alignment with federal requirements while reducing administrative burden.
inspectX™ brings together everything agencies need to manage inspections with precision—from login to compliance, and everything in between. With tools that simplify access, automate data handling, track inspector performance, and keep your systems connected, inspectX™ transforms inspections into a streamlined, fully compliant operation.
For agencies and engineers, it’s not just about checking boxes—it’s about building a process you can trust, day in and day out. By choosing inspectX™, you’re not just keeping up—you’re setting the standard for what efficient, secure, and transparent asset management should look like.
Ready to streamline your inspections, minimize errors, and ensure effortless compliance? inspectX™ and its built-in capabilities equip you with the tools needed to revolutionize your workflows and stay ahead in asset management.
