I had the privilege of using GMS (the system being referenced) at Chestnut Hill and it was brilliant for the inspectors. Never had to go back to the inspection station, all paperwork, signature, status updates, notes and pictures could be done on the tablet. Team had to go to inspection station for weighing, but that's it. Individual inspectors could also be assigned to a team from the inspection desk and when they looked at the pit map on their tablet, they would see the teams they were assigned to.

I'm pushing hard to get this implemented out here in SoCal for inspectors.

Same system also supported judges in much the same way. I used it as Match Observer at Chestnut Hill and loved the ability to get up and roam while observing matches.


And now back to the original topic of the thread....

GMS would be perfect for doing reinspections in the queue line, on the field, in the pit and having a record of the reinspection.
