Assigning & managing inspectors

  • Assign the inspector geographically closest to the property where possible
  • Notify the inspector via Spectora message AND WhatsApp group after every new assignment
  • If an inspector cancels last minute, reassign immediately and call the client to inform them
  • Always send a 24-hour reminder to both the client and the inspector the day before
Reports workflow in Spectora
  • Inspectors upload findings and photos from the Spectora mobile app directly on-site during the inspection
  • Once the inspection ends, job status changes to Report Pending — office staff are notified
  • Review the report: check all defects are logged, photos are clear and labeled, summary matches findings
  • Upload the finalized PDF to the job record in Spectora under Attachments
  • Click Deliver Report — the client receives a secure, branded report link by email automatically
  • Send the client a WhatsApp message to let them know the report is ready
  • Mark job status as Complete once the report is confirmed received by the client
Quotes, payments & invoicing

  • Clients can pay online via card or bank transfer through the Spectora payment portal
  • Always confirm payment status in Spectora before dispatching an inspector
