He said that dynamic reporting helped in smart monitoring of work, efficient record management, navigation integrated app for engineers to go to the location of inspection, geo-tagging of work which would avoid duplication, and much more.
However, engineering wing officials were reluctant to use the application since it would double their work to maintain manual and online records.
