Protos Group & TrueScreen: Certified Inspections and Surveys

Protos Engineering is one of the most prominent companies in Italy’s engineering consultancy sector, specializing in advanced technical services related to tax credit management and regulatory compliance. With over €2 billion in validated tax credits, Protos stands as a key reference point for handling large volumes of information and documentation. The company boasts a network of more than 20,000 end customers and collaborates with 12 financial institutions as partners, demonstrating the trust and strength of its approach.

Protos’ activities are built on a solid operational structure that ensures regulatory compliance and the secure management of a vast amount of data. This requires the efficient management of inspection processes and site surveys, which are a core part of their work. In this context, TrueScreen’s technology provided an innovative and flexible solution, allowing Protos to reduce case management times by 3.5 times and certify over 10,000 cases, always ensuring compliance with DM 49/2018.

TrueScreen’s patented forensic methodology allows for the legal certification of multimedia files, including photos, videos, geolocation data, and documents, all in real-time. This was a crucial factor for Protos, as the images and data collected during inspections and site surveys are vital to documenting project progress and ensuring regulatory compliance. TrueScreen ensures that every photo and document is authentic, intact, and immutable, in line with the stringent standards set by DM 49/2018 for certification. Thanks to this technology, Protos significantly improved its management of inspections, ensuring that every piece of data was structured, certified, and compliant with current regulations.

One of the key aspects of the collaboration was TrueScreen’s ability to customize the data acquisition processes. During inspections and site surveys, gathering certified and organized data is crucial to ensuring that information is accurate and complete. TrueScreen developed a system that enables Protos to collect and structure data efficiently, with reporting for site surveys that complies with DM 49/2018. This solution drastically reduced the risk of errors or non-compliance, improving the accuracy and security of information.

To further optimize field inspections, TrueScreen developed two custom native apps for Protos, complete with the company’s branding, which enhanced the speed and efficiency of their technicians during inspections. These apps allow technicians to collect and certify data in real-time, ensuring that every piece of information is authentic, compliant, and immutable.

Another key benefit was the integration with Protos’ existing information systems. All the data collected during inspections and site surveys is centrally stored, improving information management and simplifying workflows. This integration has streamlined case management and enabled quick, secure access to certified data, enhancing control over business processes.

Protos Engineering needed technology that could guarantee authenticity, compliance, and speed in its inspection and site survey activities, which include data collection and certification to ensure legal validity. TrueScreen delivered a modular and customizable solution tailored to Protos’ specific needs.

One of the most notable results was the reduction in case processing times. By automating and digitizing the inspection processes, Protos was able to reduce case management times by 3.5 times, a significant improvement that allowed the company to handle more site surveys and inspections in shorter periods.

In terms of regulatory compliance, TrueScreen ensured 100% certified documentation in compliance with DM 49/2018, providing a level of legal security that has become a cornerstone of Protos’ case management. With this system, Protos has certified over 10,000 cases, ensuring that every document collected is secure and compliant with current regulations.
