Integrations & data

Inspection software that talks to your other systems

What is recorded on the shop floor should not be typed in a second time. Not in the ERP, not in Excel and not at the accountant.

Dashboard with inspection data flowing on to other systems

In most organisations inspection data lives on an island. An inspector records something, and then someone else retypes it: into the maintenance system, into a spreadsheet for management, into an email to accounting. Every retyping step costs time and introduces mistakes.

PinPoint is built as a data product. Every finding is a completed questionnaire with photos, a status and a history, so structured data you can pass on. Through the API, an export or the MCP server it ends up where it is used, without anyone entering it again.

Why now?

Every integration you do not have today, you pay for every week in retyping. And the longer data stays on an island, the harder it becomes to do anything with it later.

An example from our own company: receipts to the accountant

As a business owner you do a lot of admin that has nothing to do with your trade. So we use PinPoint ourselves for our receipts. It is not an inspection, but the principle is the same: record it where it happens, and never touch it again.

Open the questionnaire

A simple "Receipt" questionnaire in the app, on the smartphone, at the moment you pay.

Description

The questionnaire briefly asks what the receipt was for. A few words are enough.

One or more photos

A photo of the receipt, or several for a long invoice.

Upload, done

A fixed integration through the API sends the photos and the description to Yuki, our accountant's bookkeeping software. Nobody has to forward anything any more.

The same setup works for anything that now arrives by email, WhatsApp or a loose photo: a damage claim to the insurer, a defect to the maintenance system, a work order to invoicing.

Which integrations there are

Some integrations come with every environment. Others we build as a separate project, with their own price, once there is a concrete need.

Export: Reports as PDF, data to Excel and CSV, photos included. In every environment.
Power BI: For those who prefer to do the maths themselves: inspection data in your own dashboards, next to the rest of your numbers.
API: Read and write assets, rounds, findings and photos from your own systems. The basis of every fixed integration, like the one with Yuki above.
MCP server: Lets an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT read and update your assets, inspection rounds and findings directly, without building a dashboard first. What that looks like in practice.
Sign-in (SSO): An integration with your Active Directory or another SSO system, so your people sign in with the account they already have. As a project.
ERP, maintenance, accounting: Findings that become a work order, a ticket or a booking by themselves in the system you already use. As a project.

An integration is custom work, not a more expensive plan

Every feature of the core is in every environment. An integration with one of your systems is built as a separate project, with a price fixed before we start. This is how our offering works.

What is an MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT query and update data in another system. PinPoint's MCP server gives such an assistant access to your assets, inspection rounds and findings, within the rights of the user. You simply ask a question about your inspections, and the assistant looks for the answer in your own data.

Frequently asked questions

Does PinPoint have an API?

Yes. Through the API you read and write assets, inspection rounds, findings and photos from your own systems. It is the basis of every fixed integration, like the one that sends our own receipts to our bookkeeping software. Which data you need and how often, we work out together during the setup.

What can an AI assistant do with the MCP server?

An assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT can query and update your assets, rounds and findings through the MCP server. You ask, for example, which items have been open for more than a month, or how often a particular defect comes back, and get the answer from your own inspection data, within your rights.

Can we connect PinPoint to our ERP or maintenance system?

Yes, as a separate project. A finding can then become a work order or a ticket by itself in the system you already use, and the status can flow back to PinPoint. We first look together at which data has to go back and forth, and fix the price before we start.

What does an integration cost?

Export, Power BI, the API and the MCP server are part of the platform. An integration with a specific system of yours, such as an ERP, bookkeeping software or your SSO, is custom work: a separate project with its own price, agreed together before you sign. So no integration is ever hidden in a more expensive plan.
