At Inspech, we believe every road has a story to tell. Every crack, repair, and new stretch of asphalt adds a chapter. Until now, inspections have captured those stories as snapshots, useful but incomplete.
Our new Road Networks feature connects those snapshots into something bigger: a moving picture of your entire network. It’s the first step towards turning inspections into foresight, and data into smarter, calmer decisions about the future.
Why Road Networks?
Managing roads has always meant juggling pieces of the puzzle: inspections from different stretches, reports from different times, each useful on its own but complex to see in context. Road Networks changes that.
By grouping inspections into a single, combined view, you can:
- See your network as a whole system, not just separate pieces.
- Compare changes over time on the same road section.
- Start building the foundation for predictive maintenance, so you can plan ahead instead of patching up after the fact.
Think of it as moving from snapshots to a living map, one that grows and changes and tells you where your attention should go next.
Who is it for?
Road Networks is especially valuable for our Evaluate subscription holders: users who go beyond inspection and want to plan smarter.
Today, the feature already allows you to combine inspections across your network into a more complete and unified view. Tomorrow, it will open the door to deeper insights, showing how roads have developed historically and how they are likely to deteriorate in the future.
It’s not just about saving time. It’s about giving decision makers peace of mind, knowing the road ahead is clear.
How does it work?
There are two simple but powerful ways Road Networks can be used:
1. Connecting inspections across locations
If you’re inspecting different parts of a large road network separately, Road Networks lets you merge them into one clear, complete overview.
Example: five inspections across Gooisemeren, near Amsterdam, can be combined into a single, unified picture of the entire network (3 are shown here).
2. Tracking roads over time
When the same road is inspected in different years, the combined view always prioritises the latest inspection, so you see the most up-to-date condition at a glance. Soon, you’ll also be able to travel back in time to see how the road has changed, and even forward, to predict how it will evolve.
A stepping stone to predictive maintenance
Road Networks is more than a feature. It’s a milestone. It marks the transformation of Inspech from a powerful inspection tool into a platform for road analysis and predictive maintenance.
By connecting past, present, and future, Road Networks helps road managers shift from reactive fixes to proactive strategies. It’s like having eyes on your network today, but foresight into what’s coming tomorrow.
And this is only the beginning. With Road Networks, the road to predictive maintenance has already started.
Road Networks is the result of teamwork and curiosity in action.
