Health & Safety Consultancy: Inspector Progressive Web App: ALDB PWA

ALDB & Associates, a health and safety consultancy in Malta, relied on paper-based inspections and a third-party forms tool (Forms on Fire). We built a custom offline-first Progressive Web App that enables field inspectors to conduct site inspections, risk assessments, and generate professional reports — even without internet connectivity.
