AuditBase hits #4 in Productivity on the App Store

#4 in Productivity

AuditBase reached #4 in Productivity on the New Zealand App Store. It's available now on iOS and Android.

  • #36 overall on the New Zealand App Store top charts, across every category
  • 5 stars from its App Store reviews

The all-apps chart is where a niche field tool sits alongside banks and streaming services. A tool for building inspectors has no business being on it. That it got there says how many people wanted the evening report writing session gone.

The problem

Inspectors and auditors we knew were all running the same broken workflow.

A full day walking a site with a phone camera and a notebook. Then a full evening at a desk, doing the work a second time.

Pulling photos off the camera roll and trying to remember which hallway that crack was in. Then retyping handwritten notes into a Word template fit to send a client.

The reporting took as long as the inspection. Sometimes longer.

And every handover between site and desk was a chance for detail to fall through the cracks - an unlabelled photo, a note that made sense at 2pm but not at 9pm.

The fix

We built AuditBase to collapse that entire workflow into the device already in the inspector's hand.

Two decisions shaped everything else.

First, it had to work fully offline.

Second, compliance couldn't be an afterthought. Digital signatures are built in, giving every inspection a verifiable trail from capture to sign off.

On site, you capture each issue as you find it, with the photo and notes recorded together.

When the walk through ends, the report is done. AuditBase builds a branded PDF straight from the phone.

Pick from seven report themes so the finished document looks like your business, not ours.

At a glance:

  • Capture on site with photos and notes kept together
  • Seven report themes for professional PDFs
  • Branded reports generated straight from the phone
  • Fully offline, wherever the job is
  • Digital signatures built in for a verifiable audit trail

The result

The evening report writing session is gone. What used to be a two part job - inspect, then document - is now one. Capture as you walk the site and send the report before you've left the car park.

Build the boring thing that removes someone's worst three hours of the week, and you don't need much else.
