Overview

Company Background

Founded by active home inspectors who experienced the pain points of existing software firsthand. Inspector Studio was built to be the platform they wished existed — combining reporting, scheduling, CRM, communications, AI, payroll, and reputation management into a single platform with no add-on fees. Every feature is designed from the perspective of someone who actually performs inspections.

Target Market

Home inspectors of all sizes — from solo operators to multi-location firms. Particularly strong for Florida inspectors needing specialty forms and for teams wanting payroll, automation, and client management in one place.

Technology Approach

Cloud-based with modern web architecture. Built on Laravel with real-time updates. Native iOS and Android mobile apps with full offline sync capability — inspect anywhere, even without cell service, and data syncs automatically when you reconnect.
