:: Welcome to WRDS - Inspection Companies ::

The property inspection companies provide a vital service to Property and Casualty Insurance carriers by conducting field inspections to collect data to assess and manage risk. Unfortunately, the entire inspection process is never completely automated. Many aspects of the inspection workflow, data collection and processes are not integrated, resulting in repetitive data entry and/or loss of data. There is no “one-stop” solution that brings everything under “one roof”. This substantially reduces the productivity of staff in both field and office, reduces the consistency of data collection and report preparation, increases the turnaround time of inspection and ultimately increases the cost of the inspections.

Digitek offers an online Inspection Management web application, called Web-enabled Relational Database System (WRDS). The WRDS application is a state-of-the-art, web-based business solution that makes all information about an inspection available at the click of a button from anywhere and at any time. Configurable for inspections for both Personal and Commercial Lines, WRDS system provides dramatic increases in productivity for field inspectors, QA staff and Management staff.
