System and method for managing asset installation and evaluation

A system of managing and evaluating a plurality of assets comprising:

• for a first asset of the plurality of assets:
• a server operable to transmit data for display on a mobile computing device and to produce a sequence of prompts for producing worksheet data, wherein the sequence of prompts include a prompt to enter a serial number of the first asset into a field, a question of whether or not a particular component of the first asset is needed, a question of whether or not installation of the first asset is complete and working, and a prompt to take a digital image of the first asset and digital image of an asset tag for the first asset;
• and
• the mobile computing device operable to:
• receive the worksheet data comprising responses to the prompts on the mobile computing device;
• send a file index over a wireless network before any of the worksheet data is transmitted over the wireless network to the server;
• the server further operable to:
• parse each file index received from the wireless network;
• cross-reference each indexed file against a list of files stored at the server and received previously from the mobile computing device;
• and
• instruct the mobile computing device to send only files that have not been received previously by the server;
• the mobile computing device further operable to:
• upload files that have not been previously received by the server, including the worksheet data, to the server, whereby the worksheet data is synchronized between the mobile computing device and the server;
• the server and mobile computing device operable to perform the above respective steps for each of the remainder of the plurality of assets;
• and
• the mobile computing device further operable to interact with a reporting module of the server to:
• evaluate the worksheet data for each of the plurality of assets and generate a report based on the evaluating, wherein the report includes a summary chart that indicates, for ones of the plurality of assets, the responses comprising positive and negative values that assist in determining whether or not a particular component of the asset is needed and whether or not installation of the asset is complete and working.
