Tulare County, CA Chooses Selectron's Mobile Inspection Solution for Its Code Compliance and Building Inspection Divisions
PORTLAND, OREGON — November 21, 2005
— Selectron Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of interactive voice, web, and
mobile solutions for public sector clients throughout North America, announced
that it has been awarded a contract to implement its InspecTrack™ mobile
inspection solution at the Code Compliance and Building Inspection Divisions in
Tulare County, California. Once installed, the new InspecTrack system will help
the County streamline its inspection process by increasing the consistency and
accuracy of building and code enforcement inspections. Inspectors in the field
will use rugged Toughbook® notebook PCs from industry leader Panasonic Computer
Solutions Company to reliably record inspection results and transmit them back
to the County offices in real time.
Tulare County currently has 19
full-time inspectors and anticipates adding as many as 11 more inspectors in
2006. The new system will interface directly with the County’s existing Accela
‘PERMITS’Plus land management database to automate the inspection scheduling,
field reporting and posting process. Inspectors will be able to download
information about the status of a permit and review prior site inspection
results and history while at the inspection site.
The project is being
funded through a grant from the California Department of Housing and Community
Development’s (HCD) Code Enforcement Grant Program (CEGP). The CEGP was
established in 2003 to provide grant funds to eligible applicants for capital
expenditure costs that complement a proposed or existing local building code
enforcement program. To qualify for the grant, Tulare County submitted a grant
request demonstrating how InspecTrack would help expedite the identification and
abatement of housing code violations in a timely and coordinated
process.
“We are pleased that Tulare County has chosen InspecTrack to meet their wireless inspection needs,” says Todd Johnston, President and CEO of Selectron Technologies, Inc. “Selectron has implemented a number of these systems in jurisdictions throughout California, including Santa Rosa, Riverside, San Dimas, Victorville, and Livermore, and we are confident that Tulare County and its constituents will be well-served by this product.”
