Since its inception in 2015, our PAL-NB software has been instrumental in streamlining process management and progress monitoring of new building and conversion projects, earning high praise from both our supervision teams and clients.
PAL-NB Mobile: Revolutionizing Site Supervision
In our continuous pursuit of HSE enhancement, innovation and performance quality and efficiency, we’ve developed the PAL-NB mobile application with the aim of further automating and standardizing the supervision process and enhancing process compliance by site inspectors. The app is designed with several key objectives:

- facilitating the creation of Safety and Quality NCRs drafts directly from mobile devices on site
- enabling automatic uploading of inspection photographs to PAL-NB system
- minimizing the use of multiple devices
- reducing screen time.
Who are the beneficiates?
The direct and primary beneficiaries of this technological leap are on-site safety, supervisors, and site managers.
