Field inspectors at managing agents often spend evenings typing up what they have already seen. Inspectors capture photos and voice notes in a mobile form, AI compiles the branded PDF and flagged issues open maintenance tickets, so reports go out the same day.

The challenge
Each routine inspection took forty minutes on site and ninety at a desk — sorting photos, retyping scribbled notes, formatting the report. Write-ups piled into the following week, owners waited days to hear about their own property, and issues spotted on Tuesday didn't reach the maintenance team until the report was finally typed.

+60%The automation
Inspectors now walk each property with a mobile form: photos and voice notes per room, condition ratings in two taps. The moment they finish, AI transcribes the notes, pairs every photo with its room, and compiles a branded PDF that compares condition against the previous visit. The inspector gives it a ten-minute review, then the flow files it against the property, emails the owner a copy, and pushes every flagged issue into the maintenance queue.
How it works
- 01
Capture on site
Photos, voice notes, and two-tap condition ratings, room by room in a mobile form.
- 02
AI compiles
Notes are transcribed, photos matched to rooms, and findings drafted against the previous visit.
- 03
Branded PDF
The report assembles itself in the agency's template before the inspector is back at the office.
- 04
Ten-minute review
The inspector approves or tweaks the draft — that's the entire desk job now.
- 05
File and flag
The PDF files to the property, the owner gets a copy, and flagged issues open maintenance tickets.

The impact
Reports go out the same day as the visit instead of the following week, and desk time per inspection typically falls from ninety minutes to ten. Each inspector can cover twenty-four properties a week instead of fifteen, owners hear about their property faster, and no flagged issue waits for paperwork.
Questions about this automation
What does the inspector capture during the visit?
Inspectors walk the property with a mobile form that moves room by room. They take photos, record short voice notes and set condition ratings in two taps. Everything is tagged to the room automatically, so there are no loose files to sort or handwritten notes to retype after the visit.
How does AI turn the notes into a report?
Voice notes are transcribed, each photo is matched to its room and the findings are written up against the previous inspection of the same property. The result fills the agency's branded PDF template. The inspector reviews and edits the draft before it is sent, so nothing goes to an owner unchecked.
What happens to issues flagged in the report?
Each flagged item, such as a leaking tap or damaged flooring, opens a ticket in the maintenance queue with the photo and room attached. The report itself is filed against the property and emailed to the owner. Simple automations like this are usually live within days, once the report template is set.
