The Route To More Efficient Inspections

Every morning, six inspectors leave their homes in Pima County, Arizona, to visit anywhere between five and sixteen houses or buildings. Before they go, each inspector downloads a route that’s been strategically designed to account for the time it will take to drive to the site and perform the inspection.

Pima County encompasses 9,000 square miles, much of it rural, and is home to nearly one million people. The Building and Site Development Division has made a public commitment to assist property owners and professionals in completing projects cost-effectively, safely, and sustainably.

As part of that commitment—and to make sure the county is operating as efficiently as possible—the division started using Navigator for ArcGIS®, a mobile app from Esri that’s part of ArcGIS Online.

Rich Franz-Under, Pima County’s Green Building manager, shares the county’s experience.
