The invention is an integrated software system that provides one set of books for work management, accounting and regulatory reporting functions. The account structure of the general ledger is shared across the various entities (or departments) of the utility such that they all record the same information about activities, transactions and balances, thus sharing the same ledger structure comprised of a very limited number of segments, generally five to seven. The segments form an account flexfield. Certain segments of the account flexfield, if not supplied, may be derived from the other segments. The system is based on commercially available database software and allows for single ledger entries that are integrated throughout the accounting and reporting system of the utility. Account flexfields are entered into the system at a certain level of detail, such as, for example, activity, work order, natural account and regulatory account levels and may be summarized at a level of detail other than the one entered. The system provides reports in either an accounting format (financial and managerial) or in the form required by regulatory bodies without having to re-enter or reconcile data or keep separate sets of books.

A computer-assisted inspection system including an integrated software suite provides vehicle inspection services for various clients. The system provides customized workflow based on different inspection clients, different types of inspections and other factors. Different clients may have different inspection needs. Some clients may not care about certain defects that other clients want to know about. The system can provide, on the inspection appliance, different rules that can be activated in response to which client the inspection is being provided for and / or other factors for inspection criteria, valuation / pricing, rule-based validation and automatic grading. The resulting rule-driven user interface is thus customized—allowing the inspector to be more efficient in gathering the precise data desired at the time of data collection. Features include flat car part picking, highly client-customizability, easy to use, ability to run in an environment where the inspector has no constant connectivity to the network (no guaranteed access to the internet, full data replication, intermittent connectivity, synch back up), inspectors can be geographically separated (e.g., all over the country), system is installable over the internet to provide efficient installation to far-flung install sites.
