Servicio de Impuestos Internos/Internal Revenue Service (SII), in its modernization process, commissioned Tecnova to implement a Mobile Application, which would facilitate the inspection of real estate. This process is carried out by appraisal officials, where information is captured, both on the land and on existing buildings. For this, a portable technological means was available, eliminating the deployment of information on paper in the field work.
Project Objectives
The main objectives of the project can be summarized as follows:
- Have a mobile application that can operate in physical locations where there is no network connectivity (offline mode).
- Eliminate the need for paper or additional physical items such as cameras and annotation tools.
- Provide SII auditors with a computer tool that solves their information capture and export needs.
- Deliver an application that does not require deep habit changes, process redesign, or extensive training for auditing users.
- Maintain the confidentiality of the data stored on the device.
Finally, the implemented solution covered the following areas of field inspection work:
- Upload information online. The examiner can upload information on one or more fiscal roles to the mobile device, understood as role as the identifier of a property or land.
- Self-management on roles. The application allows the inspector to manage the roles, being able to view or delete the information associated with a role: documents, photos, maps, so on.
- Complete technical guide. The solution manages the technical guides with which a role is audited, being able to complete all the audit information on site in digital form.
- Use of mobile utilities. To complement the completion of the technical guides, the examiner can make use of the camera and capture images on which he can add annotations. Later, they can store these images in the folder associated with the audited role.
- The application allows them to download the information captured so that it can be received by the core systems of the SII for processing.
