The Rainbow International Plan app allows our users to gather building details in near real-time while walking through a property. Using the camera on the phone, as well as talk to text, we move through buildings and gather all the data necessary for a complete building report. The data automatically syncs with our bank-grade, cloud-based software and creates an actionable report. Digitise your buildings with ease and have a workflow and partner in place for when and if anything happens at that property. This action plan lets your staff and your restoration partner know where to go, who to call, and what to do immediately in the event of a loss, allowing the building to save downtime and get back up and running as soon as possible.
