Introduction:
This case study outlines the development of a Mobile and Web App for logging audit data by manual auditors, implemented for a large government sector electricity transmission company. The company relied on manual auditors to assess various parameters at different power station locations and required an immediate solution to streamline the audit process. With a preference for no-code options, the company sought an efficient way to update and analyze audit data in real-time.

Problem Statement:
The electricity transmission company faced challenges in effectively collecting and analyzing audit data conducted by manual auditors at various power station locations. Manual entry and processing of audit technical data resulted in delays, errors, and inefficiencies in the audit process. Additionally, the lack of a centralized system for tracking audit progress and results hindered decision-making and audit management.

Challenges:

• Manual Data Entry: Manual auditors were tasked with recording audit technical data, leading to potential errors and inconsistencies in data entry.
• Real-Time Analysis: The company required real-time analysis of audit data to identify trends, address issues promptly, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
• Dashboard Creation: Developing dashboards to visualize audit progress, pending audits, and audit results presented a challenge due to the diverse parameters and locations involved.
• No-Code Requirement: The company sought a no-code solution to expedite the development process and minimize reliance on IT resources.

Solution:

• Pirl Web and Mobile App Development: A Pirl-based web and mobile application was developed to enable manual auditors to log audit data directly during their inspections. The no-code platform facilitated rapid development and deployment of the application.
• Real-Time Data Analysis: The Pirl platform allowed for real-time analysis of audit data, providing insights into audit progress, trends, and compliance status.
• Dashboard Creation: Dashboards were created within the Pirl platform to visualize audit completion status, pending audits, and audit results. These dashboards provided stakeholders with a comprehensive overview of audit activities.
• User-Friendly Interface: The web and mobile app were designed with a user-friendly interface, making it easy for manual auditors to input data and for management to access and analyze audit information.

Results:

• Streamlined Audit Process: The implementation of the Mobile and Web App streamlined the audit process by enabling manual auditors to log data directly during inspections, reducing manual entry errors and delays.
• Real-Time Visibility: The Pirl platform provided real-time visibility into audit progress and results, allowing management to address issues promptly and make data-driven decisions.
• Enhanced Compliance: With real-time analysis and dashboard visualization, the company improved compliance with regulatory standards by identifying and addressing audit discrepancies promptly.
• Improved Efficiency: The user-friendly interface of the web and mobile app increased efficiency in data entry and access, saving time and resources for both auditors and management.

Benefits:

• Increased Accuracy: By eliminating manual data entry errors, the Mobile and Web App improved the accuracy and reliability of audit data.
• Enhanced Decision-Making: Real-time visibility and dashboard visualization enabled management to make informed decisions quickly, leading to improved audit management and compliance.
• Cost Savings: The no-code development approach reduced development time and costs associated with traditional software development, providing cost savings for the company.
• Improved Audit Management: The streamlined audit process and centralized data repository facilitated better audit management, resulting in improved efficiency and effectiveness of audit activities.
