A Day in the Life of a Lab Inspector Using SeeSOR

 Ever wonder what a lab inspection should feel like?

For many inspectors, the day involves juggling paper checklists, snapping photos on their phone, handwriting notes, and later—spending hours typing up a report. It’s slow, error-prone, and exhausting.

Now let’s compare that to a day in the life of an inspector using SeeSOR, ASC Group’s digital inspection and compliance platform.

 8:00 AM — Inspection Prep (5 minutes)

Without SeeSOR:
 You spend 30–60 minutes gathering the correct checklists, printing them, reviewing past reports, and trying to remember which lab had unresolved issues.

With SeeSOR:
 You open your tablet and view today’s inspection checklist—already tailored to this lab's requirements. Previous inspections, CAPA items, and lab history are instantly available to review if needed in preparation of today’s inspection(s).

9:00 AM — Onsite Walkthrough

Without SeeSOR:
 You carry clipboards and your phone. You take photos, jot notes, and hope nothing gets misplaced before you’re back at your desk.

With SeeSOR:
 You inspect using your tablet. For each checklist item, you mark scores, add notes, and take photos—all inside SeeSOR. Photos are attached to specific questions. Findings auto-sync to the cloud.

10:30 AM — Documentation & Evidence

Without SeeSOR:
 You spend time transferring phone pictures, organizing them, labeling them, and manually entering them into a Word doc.

With SeeSOR:
 All documentation is already embedded in the inspection. No separate upload or file naming needed.

11:00 AM — Generate the Report

Without SeeSOR:
 You sit down and build the inspection report from scratch—pulling together notes, findings, scores, and attachments. It takes hours.

With SeeSOR:
 You tap “Generate Report.” It’s done in seconds. The report includes scoring, photos, comments, and your branding.

11:15 AM — Assign Follow-Ups

Without SeeSOR:
 You email the lab manager about noncompliant items… and hope they follow up.

With SeeSOR:
 CAPA tasks are created instantly, assigned to the right person, and tracked with due dates. Every interested party gets emailed at every step, from initiation to resolution. You get alerts if items go unresolved.

1:00 PM — Manager Review

Without SeeSOR:
 You send the report, but it sits unread for days. Leadership has no live insight into risk trends.

With SeeSOR:
 The inspection data is already visible in SeeSOR dashboards. Managers can track performance over time and spot issues across labs. Managers even get email alerts for low scores on inspected checklist items.

The Result?

An inspection process that’s:

  • Faster

  • More accurate

  • Easier to manage

  • Audit-ready

  • Stress-free

SeeSOR turns inspections into a streamlined, reliable, and data-driven process—whether you’re inspecting one lab or twenty.

SeeSOR ® has amazing built-in features for our Users to collect and show data! One of these is the Customer Feedback form. What is a Customer Feedback Form in SeeSOR you ask? It's an “Inspection Plan” where the data for the inspection Result is collected from your Customer! A SeeSOR Administrator will set up this inspection plan, but ANYONE with the link to the plan can fill it out - they don't even have to have a login to SeeSOR! The person filling out the form can see checklist items with scoring instructions, as well as add attachments and comments as needed.  Once the Customer Feedback form (Inspection Plan) has been filled out, all data is treated the same as a regular Inspection Result.  The results from these plans will generate email alerts, and Corrective Actions can also be raised from them. This is a great way to collect feedback for your contracts that require you to do so or it can even build a better relationship with your Customer as you demonstrate the desire t...
