Major new release version 3 now available
Winter is coming and as our developers rejoice seeing less sunlight, they recently surfaced from their BatCave to show us the latest version of the BaseStone mobile platform.
The latest release includes updates to our web, iPad and iPhone applications. Here are the highlights:
Improved Data Matrix and QR code functionality
On the iPad and iPhone applications, you can now scan QR and Data Matrix codes more easily and select the data to become the issue title. This is an huge enhancement to both snagging and asset-tagging processes on BaseStone. And new code lookup functionality will be coming soon!
Business Collaborator Integration
We’re delighted to announce our latest integration available on the BaseStone web application. If you’re using Business Collaborator, you can now import the files seamlessly onto BaseStone. Get in touch with us to discuss more.
Optional save to camera roll
We receive concerns from many of our users about storage on mobile devices so we make every endeavour to minimise the amount of space BaseStone takes up. Small and mighty is what we aim for. The latest release on the iphone lets you choose whether to save the photo to the camera roll or not to help control space on your device.
The key features already existing on the application include the ability to:
- Conduct site inspections
- Snag and report progress
- Markup/annotate and redline drawings
- Create as-builts
- View and add photos, RFIs, files, comments
- Quality inspections
- Report defects
- Site survey inspections
These features give the user benefits such as:
- Everyone has access to the latest drawing, plan and information in the field
- Improve productivity
- Reduce paper and printing costs
- Ensure issues are captured accurately
- Create reports instantly, no need to copy up notes from the field
- Visibility of issues on site
- Reduce mistakes and abortive work
It has been a busy period for the team as only last month we were “Highly Commended” at the British Construction Industry Awards and also had a great time at Digital Construction Week which included a talk by our CEO Alex as well as exhibiting. Our CTO Simon also discussed BaseStone and Building Information Modelling at an event organised by 3D Repo to kick off Digital Construction Week.
