Challenge
A property services business inspects communities by recording video from the road. The footage then has to be reviewed, tied to individual properties and shared with managers.
Nothing on the market did this. The business was working with files, spreadsheets and maps in separate windows.
Approach
We built the application around how the inspectors and reviewers work.
- A back end that receives and stores large video files reliably.
- A review screen that plays footage beside a map and jumps between marked moments.
- Search across communities, properties and inspections.
- Comments from managers attached to each inspection.
- An automated build pipeline and monitoring, so releases are routine.
Result
The business runs its inspections on software designed for the job.
- Footage, map and notes in one screen.
- Inspection history for every property.
- 830 recorded changes as it was refined with its users.
Our advice
Custom software is worth building when the work is central to your business and no product fits. Start with the one screen your staff will use most.
