WinWam Software is fast becoming the standard in government field inspections. Thirty-six (36) State governments have purchased WinWam along with many county and city governments. WinWam Software provides inspectors with sophisticated and easy to use tools for performing a myriad of inspections including: Food and Feed Safety, Environmental Health, Seed, Fertilizer & Lime, Animal Health & Welfare, Plant Industry, Weights & Measures.
With WinWam the inspection forms are turbo charged with intelligence. Observations cited on the form can trigger pop-up regulations. The inspector can append notes, create flowcharts, and attach electronic documents and digital photographs. At the end of the inspection, the inspector can capture the Person in Charge’s signature and print an inspection form in the field or back at the home office. Inspections can also be posted a Citizen Portal so that the community can have access to the results.
WinWam Software is easy to deploy, proven and affordable. Please stop by our booth or contact us to learn more about WinWam Software.
