Link Inspect Pro was developed to help inspection companies manage their inspections and relationships with their clients. The team behind LIP has over 30 years of experience performing and managing inspections of residential, commercial, and industrial properties for condition and compliance. Using this knowledge and experience, the team created a platform for any inspection company to start with a Lead, take it through Estimate, Contract and Scheduling, Performing the Inspection, and Finalizing the Report. Also built into the application are scheduling, lead generation and advertising opportunities for both potential and existing clients. LIP has developed an inspection software that can not only do condition and compliance inspections, but also Asset inspections. Companies can start with a preloaded Inspection Workflow or create their own. With many customization options available, a company can easily perform any type of inspection. Perform the inspection offline, have multiple inspectors work simultaneously, markup or caption the pictures as they are taken; the inspector has all the tools they will need to get a quality job done quickly from any device. The goal is to simplify the inspection process so an inspection company can focus on growing and doing quality work. To give companies peace and mind, all data is stored for multiple years to keep track of all reports and inspection histories and along with 99.99% uptime and daily offsite backups, our system is protected by 256-bit Advanced Encryption.
