How Professional Experience Shaped the Products
All products were created on the basis of practical work in inspections, photo documentation, expert investigations, property valuation and professional documentation preparation.
Over years of practice it became obvious that most specialists lack specialised digital tools that take into account real workflows: field inspections, material collection, photo structuring, preparation of appendices, calculations, reports and expert documents.
Therefore, when developing the services, special attention is paid not only to interfaces but also to the logic of professional work: recording circumstances, material structure, photo context, offline operation, GPS data, reporting preparation and organisation of expert information.
INSPECTOR

Photo Reports
A web platform for preparing photo reports, organising images and structuring survey materials.
Helper-pro
