# 3. Plan your inspections and NOIs

Managing an inspection or a Notification of Inspection is challenging, as several people from different organizations may **need to collaborate and take decisions in a very short time**. 

{% hint style="success" %}
In NotifyMe, this can be done effectively with our **collaborative workflows**, designed to standardize and automate this process.
{% endhint %}

A ‘workflow’ is a sequence of ‘tasks’ that are assigned to the people **responsible for organizing and performing the inspections**. The other team members can be given read-only access to these tasks - this gives everyone a **comprehensive review of the current status of their inspection activities**.

When you are planning an inspection visit, you are creating an event in NotifyMe. The **inspection dates can be viewed and shared with your team in the NotifyMe calendar** - this makes the information about any schedule change available in real-time.

Additionally, inspection notifications sent via email by suppliers all over the world **can be captured by the system and used to automatically initialize the workflows**, so that even those persons who are not using NotifyMe yet, can be kept in the loop.
