December 3, 2014 (ATLANTA, GA) <\/strong>– BuildingReports\u00ae is pleased to announce the launch of ScanSeries\u00ae<\/a> for Android\u2122<\/span>, making BuildingReports the first fire and life safety compliance reporting provider to offer inspection applications for the four major mobile operating systems, including iOS\u00ae, Android, Windows Mobile\u00ae and PalmOS\u00ae platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exclusive to members of the BuildingReports network, ScanSeries for Android provides the entire suite of inspections apps, including FireScan\u00ae, SecurityScan\u00ae, SprinklerScan\u00ae, SuppressionScan\u00ae and SafetyScan\u00ae. The application is available for immediate download from the Google Play app store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BuildingReports is initially supporting the application with the Motorola TC55<\/a> device. The release comes on the heels of extensive beta testing with service companies in the field, similar to the process preceding the launch of ScanSeries for iOS<\/a> in late 2013.<\/p>\n

BuildingReports\u2019 ScanSeries is also supported on a number of other popular devices, including the Janam<\/a> XP20 and XP30 PalmOS\u00ae scanners, the Motorola MC55 and MC65 Windows Mobile Scanners, and the Intermec Ci70<\/a> Windows Mobile scanner. BuildingReports supports Janam and Intermec devices for service organizations that must comply with the North American Class 1, Division 1 and Division 2 standards.<\/p>\n

ScanSeries for Android includes features not available on older mobile device platforms. Data entry has evolved from stylus-based input to touch-friendly interfaces, speech-to-text, auto-correction, and automated spell check features. In addition, features like GPS for locating properties that they need to service are particularly handy for a mobile workforce. Connecting to BuildingReports web-based reporting system from the field is also simplified with support for all of the latest cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to providing fire protection and life safety service companies with the latest inspection solutions on their choice of mobile operating system,\u201d said Jason Kronz, president and chief technology officer. “These are devices that have to be able to withstand daily abuse in many different types of environments, but also need to provide us with features to help us expand and advance our electronic inspection platform. After extensive research and testing, we decided to partner with Motorola, who has been a trusted provider of our devices for years.\u201d<\/p>\n
