Marley Inspections is a leading provider of cooling tower inspection and maintenance services. With operations spanning across various industrial sectors, their inspectors are tasked with performing detailed evaluations of cooling towers, often in challenging environments such as high altitudes and bright sunlight.
Solvative partnered with Marley Inspections to modernize their cooling tower inspection process by replacing manual, paper-based workflows with a custom-built mobile application. Designed for challenging outdoor conditions, the solution streamlined data capture, enabled real-time reporting, and improved coordination between field inspectors and backend teams, resulting in faster, more accurate, and efficient operations.
SPX faced inefficiencies with their traditional inspection process, which relied on manual logging and documentation. Inspectors had to use paper-based forms, which were cumbersome, prone to errors, and delayed the reporting process. To address these challenges, Solvative collaborated with SPX to design and develop a robust mobile application tailored to their unique needs.
The Challenge
Manual processes and environmental barriers slowed inspections and report delivery.
Key challenges identified:
The Solution
A custom inspection app built for speed, precision, and harsh outdoor environments.
Key elements of the solution:
The Result
Operational performance surged across reporting speed, accuracy, and field productivity.
Streamlined workflows reduced on-site data entry time by nearly 40%, allowing inspectors to focus more on accurate physical assessments rather than paperwork. With faster logging, photo annotations, and automated reporting, inspectors are now able to complete significantly more inspections per day—without compromising attention to detail.
The sunlight-optimized monochrome interface delivered a night-and-day improvement in field usability. Inspectors reported far less visual strain, faster navigation, and greater confidence that data was captured correctly. These enhancements led to a 90% satisfaction increase, reinforcing the solution as a must-have tool for their daily operations rather than a technical burden.
A fully digitized inspection ecosystem built to grow with SPX’s operations.
This transformation replaced outdated field documentation with a modern, tech-enabled process that improves reliability, strengthens admin insights, and enhances user experience in the most demanding environments. Solvative delivered a scalable platform that supports future expansion while ensuring inspections remain accurate, fast, and stress-free.
