The ITP Software Built for the Front Line
Sitemate’s ITP Software is powered by Dashpivot, and allows site teams to easily log inspection test plans at the job site. Storm, Sitemate’s AI agent, can fill out reports with test criteria, hold points, and even photos, then site supervisors can review, edit, and sign off directly on the form via e-signature.
Why ITP management Is Harder than It Should Be
Slow manual ITP completion
Inspectors using paper-based forms take a long time to complete inspection test plans on site.
Missing and illegible ITP records
Paper-based ITP forms can easily get lost or damaged before they reach the office.
Cannot preview past ITP records
Completed paper-based ITPs are usually filed away, which limits visibility on previous inspections, causing a disconnect between site teams and clients.
Compliance gaps due to missed hold points
Without a clear system to track hold points and sign-offs, inspections can be missed, which compromises compliance with project specifications.
A Smarter ITP App
AI-assisted ITP creation
Storm can help turn user prompts into complete inspection test plan forms, pre-filled with details specific to the user input.
Hold points linked to sign-offs
Each hold point in the ITP can be tied to the relevant sign-off, keeping approvals traceable back to the exact stage of work.
Supervisor review before progressing to next stage
All completed hold points are automatically routed to supervisors for review and sign-off before work can progress to the next stage.
Compliance gaps due to missed hold points
The ITP Software uses Dashpivot’s cloud storage system where all completed ITPs are stored, where previous plans can easily be found for any reviews.
Understanding ITP Software
What is an ITP Software?
An ITP Software is a tool that site personnel use to create and manage inspection test plans (ITPs), which are documents that outline the sequence of inspections, tests, and hold points required to verify that work meets the specified standard. In this case, the scope of inspections refers to checking of work activity and site conditions. These plans are usually set up before work begins, and cover details on what needs to be checked, at what stage, and by whom. With an ITP Software, teams can keep a digital record of each inspection and test carried out, as well as the sign-offs needed at each stage.
What does the ITP Software help record?
- General information like project name, site location, and work activity
- Applicable specification, drawing, or standard for the activity
- Sequence of inspection and test points, including hold and witness points
- Party responsible for each inspection or test, such as contractor, client, or third party
- Inspection and test results against the required criteria
- Acceptance criteria and any non-conformances identified
- Name and signature of the person verifying each stage
- Supporting photos and attachments
How does an ITP typically get carried out during construction?
An ITP is typically worked through stage by stage as construction progresses, with each activity mapped to a specific inspection or test point. At hold points, work must stop until the responsible party has reviewed and signed off the stage. Witness points allow work to proceed as long as notice was given, whether or not the witnessing party attends. As each point is completed, the result is recorded against the specified acceptance criteria, with any non-conformance raised and resolved before the next stage begins.

Feed Storm the ITP details
Workers carrying out inspections can use Storm to capture voice recordings, photos, and prompts for each test point in the ITP, eliminating the need to manually input information.
-
Data mapping Storm scans through the voice recordings and photos taken, and immediately populates data into the fields of the ITP. The data is also sorted into the right test point and hold point automatically.
[Flow] Review and escalate Workers carrying out the inspection will verify the auto-populated fields to ensure everything is correct, and then escalate it to the relevant approver through automated notifications.
-
Approver sign-off
Approvers will then review the ITP for any outstanding hold points or witness points before signing off on the stage of work. Any outstanding items will first be flagged for follow-up before work can proceed.

Streamlining the ITP process with Flowsite
Flowsite automatically transfers completed inspection test plan data from Dashpivot into quality dashboards and client reporting systems, removing the need for manual re-entry. Quality and project teams get real-time visibility of sign-offs and compliance status, so work can be reviewed and approved with minimal admin work.
Comparison: Paper ITP vs Digital ITP
Most project teams already know paper and spreadsheets aren't cutting it. Here's what changes when you move your method statements to a digital system.
Paper |
||
|---|---|---|
| Data gathering | Storm auto-populates fields using photos and voice recordings | Manual data entry, which is time-consuming |
| Hold and witness points | Automated alerts notify relevant parties when a hold point is reached | Requires manual tracking and phone calls to notify parties |
| Escalation | Automated notifications escalate critical findings immediately to supervisors | Requires manual hand-offs and notification |
| Storage | Forms stored in the cloud, accessed by searching or filters | Requires bulky binders, cabinets, and manual searching |
| Supervisors' approval routing | Structured approval routing and notification tracking | Requires physical sign-offs, which can delay approvals |
| Audit readiness | All ITPs can easily be traced and made available for auditing | Requires manual compiling |
| Action tracking | Automated progress tracking | Requires manual follow-up |
