A software application that operates on mobile computing devices to allow outside operators to initiate maintenance requests from the field. Work Requester seamlessly integrates with most maintenance management systems to enhance communications between maintenance, operations, and safety departments for early detection of safety violations and reductions in mean time to corrective action, thus reducing the likelihood of catastrophic losses. Once integrated with IntelaTrac Procedure Manager, IntelaTrac Work Requester prompts field operators to create maintenance requests for non-conforming assets, based on a rules-based engine with integrated fault detection and specified corrective actions.
