Key Features to Look for in Inspection Apps for Property Managers

In the fast-paced world of property management, choosing the right inspection app makes all the difference. The right app boosts efficiency for your property or inspection manager and drives business growth when used effectively.

A strong inspection solution streamlines processes, ensures compliance, and enhances tenant satisfaction. However, with so many options available, how can an inspection manager choose the best app? Here are some key features to consider.

 

  1. 360-Degree Virtual Tours 

360-degree Virtual Tours are transforming modern property inspections. This powerful feature helps property managers capture comprehensive views of a property, creating an immersive experience for landlords, tenants, and stakeholders. Moreover, it provides a thorough visual record and reduces disputes by offering clear, detailed documentation of the property’s condition at any time.

In addition, Inspection Express delivers high-quality 360-degree Virtual Tours that are clear and easy to use. Since they consist of stitched images rather than videos, they are accepted in tribunal.

2. 360AI Comments for Enhanced Reporting

Efficiency is crucial in property management, and 360AI comments completely change the way inspection reports are created. This feature uses AI to generate accurate, consistent, and professional comments based on captured 360 degree images.

 Whether it’s highlighting maintenance issues or providing compliance recommendations, 360AI helps ensure reports are detailed and actionable without the need for manual input, saving valuable time, something property managers already lack! 

360AI comments are only available using Inspection Express, we’ve attached a short video showing how quick it is!

3. Face Blurring for Privacy Compliance

As privacy laws tighten, it’s crucial to choose an inspection app with face blurring. This feature automatically detects and blurs faces in images and videos. As a result, it ensures compliance with privacy regulations and protects tenant confidentiality.

This not only protects sensitive information but also builds trust with tenants who can be assured their personal data is handled responsibly. Though a seemingly small feature, it saves you from having to go in manually and blur all the faces! What a time saver! 

 

4. Paired Exits for Seamless Transition Management

Have you seen paired exit inspections? Paired exit inspections were created to make spotting differences between entry inspections and exits easier, and it’s truly game-changing to use. 

The paired exits feature enables your property and inspection manager to compare entry and exit inspections side by side, identifying any changes or damages with ease. This functionality allows for transparent discussions with tenants regarding potential deductions from their security deposit and helps property managers maintain accurate property records. It’s a win for everyone, and you’re bound to impress your clients with the level of transparency you can provide.

5. User-Friendly Interface and Mobile Accessibility

A good inspection app should be easy to use and accessible from any device. Property managers are often on the go, so having a mobile-friendly interface that allows them to conduct inspections, generate reports, and access data from anywhere is essential. Additionally, finding an app that offers integrations with other property management tools is ideal. 

We’re dedicated to ensuring our mobile app remains user friendly – in fact, at the start of the year, we announced it would be one of the main things we would focus on. Read what we’ve got in store for 2025 here!
