Software for audits

Yes. Lumiform runs on iOS and Android, so auditors complete inspections on any mobile device, including tablets. The app works offline, which means auditors can walk the floor, move between aisles, and capture photos and responses without needing a Wi-Fi connection. Data syncs automatically once connectivity is restored. No laptop required at any point during the inspection itself.

When an auditor takes or uploads a photo during an inspection, it attaches directly to the question it was captured against. The photo stays linked to that specific checklist item in the completed report. Operations managers reviewing results can see exactly which finding each image corresponds to, without cross-referencing separate files or folders.

Yes. You can schedule forms in Lumiform and configure automated notifications so staff receive reminders at set intervals, including daily. When a form is due and not yet completed, the system prompts the assigned user. This replaces the manual process of checking a spreadsheet each morning to see who is overdue, and it works across all locations simultaneously.

Yes. The Analytics section in Lumiform displays aggregate results across all locations with visual summaries including scores, overdue inspections, negative responses, and action completion rates. You can filter by store, region, date range, or question category to compare performance across branches. This gives operations managers the graphs and percentage breakdowns needed to show, for example, that 20% of stores are not following a specific procedure.

Access is controlled by roles and permissions set in the Administration section. You can configure Lumiform so that each location only sees its own audit results. Store-level users complete and view their own inspections, while operations managers and regional leads retain visibility across all locations. Individual stores do not see each other’s results unless you explicitly grant that access.

Lumiform supports corrective actions that can be assigned, tracked, and resolved after an inspection is submitted. Managers can create actions linked to specific findings, including photo evidence, and route them for follow-up. The form approval workflow also allows a designated approver to formally sign off on a completed inspection. This means submissions are not simply closed out; they can trigger structured follow-up steps.

Lumiform stores all completed inspections and their results in the Forms section, filterable by location and date. Before starting a new audit, a manager can review the previous completed report for that store to see what was flagged. The Analytics section also surfaces overdue actions and recurring issues by location. Auditors do not see prior results automatically within the new form itself, but the history is accessible on the desktop.

Lumiform’s form builder includes conditional logic. You can configure a question so that if an auditor answers that a section does not apply, for example no sample wall or no info desk at that location, all follow-up questions for that section are automatically skipped. This keeps the inspection relevant to each store’s actual setup and prevents auditors from working through questions that have no bearing on what is in front of them.

You can create entities in Lumiform to represent your store locations. Once locations are set up, auditors select the relevant store when starting an inspection rather than typing in details manually. This ensures consistent location data across all reports and makes it straightforward to filter and search results by store in the Analytics section. Bulk setup of large location lists is possible; contact Lumiform support to confirm the best import method for your volume.
