EZ Home Inspection Software vs. Fulcrum

EZ Home Inspection Software is best suited for residential applications. I had issues when trying to use the software on multi-family developments because the labels were not clear-cut, and I had a difficult time making my original labels mesh with the existing labels that I could find.

We use Fulcrum to record information about vehicles and our product in the field to ensure we have clean and organized records of work completed and issues encountered. This has unlocked immense value for us. It allows managers to review work to maintain high quality. Using Fulcrum has also allowed for large amounts of field data to be gathered and quickly transferred from our field team to our engineering team when necessary.

Spectora Home Inspection Software is the product that we use and understand the most. We tried several reporting software products, and Spectora was superior to other products we tested.

• Saved time when teaching new inspectors to use the software.
• Customer support was adequate.
• Developers are open to customer/users suggestions for additional features.

• Manual data entry of collected field information is no longer required saving anywhere from 1 to 10 hours of tedious work and eliminating human error.
• Clients are impressed with our ability to use digital field notes and our ability to communicate in near real time which helps ensure client retention and expanding our envelope of work with them.
• Instead of spending time trying to find out what, why, where, and when a picture was taken the guess work is removed as photos are georeferenced and can be annotated in the field.
