SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COLLECTING, STORING AND PROCESSING INSPECTION DATA Described herein are systems and methods for collecting, storing and processing 5 inspection data. One aspect of the present invention provides a computer implemented method (100) for generating an inspection report. The method includes the initial step (101) of providing a web-based interface for enabling a user to manage inspection data and request an inspection report based on specified input inspection request data. At step (103), in response to a request from a user of the interface, a software application is 10 generated that is executable at a mobile device. The software application is configured for receiving, from an inspector using a mobile device who is to carry out an inspection, data indicative of inspection observations. Step (103) of generating the software application includes two primary sub-steps. At sub-step (105), a database of predefined inspection prompts is accessed thereby to identify a set of inspection prompts based on the 15 inspection request data specified. At sub-step (107) the application is configured to display the set of inspection prompts and provide functionality for receiving, from the inspector, respective responses to those prompts. At step (109), the application is downloaded to a mobile device for use by an inspector. At step (111), the responses to the inspection prompts, input by the inspector input at the mobile device, are received. At 20 step (113), the received responses are stored in the database. Finally, at step (115), the received responses may be processed to generate the inspection report.
