The inspection takes forty minutes. The report takes another thirty, back at the office, at seven in the evening. You retype notes, sort photos off a phone, transfer meter readings, assemble a PDF and send it. At twenty inspections a month, that is half a work week spent doing work that was already done once, on site.
The report is a by-product of the walk
Capture happens where the looking happens: room by room, each photo attached to the defect it shows, meter readings with a reading date, signatures from tenant and manager taken on the device. The document assembles itself as you go. By the time you lock the door it is sent.
Evidentiary weight is a data question
An inspection report is worth exactly the data it carries. Capture timestamp on the photo, timestamp on the entry, both signatures, and a document that is fixed once generated. A year later, when a deposit is disputed, that is the whole argument.
No signal in the basement
Stairwells, basements and new construction without a connection are normal conditions. Capture runs offline and reconciles cleanly when the connection returns, without duplicates and without silently dropping an entry. That is decided in the architecture at the start, not added later.
The deal
- First Version (MVP) from $27,800, taking over an existing inspection app from $10,500
- Interface to your existing management system clarified before the build
- Offline capture with clean reconciliation
- Market-ready app for iPhone and Android from one codebase
- Data model planned with GDPR in mind, which matters when the records are about tenants

If an inspection app is already running and its developer is gone, see taking over an existing app; if a stalled project needs an honest inventory, see rescuing a failed app project.
