Release Notes (Inspection Manager) | December 2024

✨ Empower Your 360 Inspections with Flexible AI Detection and Offline Support

Customise your 360 Inspections like never before! Our latest enhancement introduces the flexibility to enable or disable AI detection for key components—comments & conditions, sensitive spots, assets and pathways—providing you with seamless control over your workflow. Whether working online or offline, you can switch effortlessly between AI-powered workflows and manual steps, ensuring a tailored inspection process that adapts to your needs. Updates to AI detection settings apply instantly to your next 360 image, giving you greater control and precision.

With the new Offline Mode, you can confidently manage inspections even without an internet connection. Toggling Offline Mode automatically disables AI detection, activating manual workflows for uninterrupted functionality in any environment. This enhancement ensures that whether you're capturing images in areas with limited connectivity or opting for manual precision, your inspection process remains streamlined, efficient, and fully customisable.

✨ Revamped Camera and Syncing Experience in the New Inspection Manager App

Enjoy a smoother, more efficient experience with our latest updates to the New Inspection Manager app. We've overhauled the camera system to include wide-angle zoom-out capabilities for all compatible iOS and most Android devices, delivering enhanced flexibility for capturing the perfect shot. The photo-taking process is now faster and more fluid, ensuring every click feels seamless.

Additionally, we've significantly improved the syncing process for inspections. Syncing is now faster, and persistent issues with failed syncs have been resolved, allowing you to focus on inspections without interruptions. This update ensures a streamlined workflow and a better overall experience.

✨Enhancing Virtual Tours: Precision, Privacy, and Personalisation

Experience the next level of virtual property inspections with our latest improvements to Virtual Tours. Property managers can now add inspection comments with pinpointed screenshots for precise documentation. New privacy tools provide options to blur sensitive information directly in the CMS and app, ensuring secure, compliant reports. Virtual tours are now editable with customisable pathways, giving users full control over tour flow and navigation.

And for a professional finish, brand logos can now be displayed on each tour, reflecting your brand with every view.


✨Expanded Video Functionality for Inspections

Bring a new level of detail to your property inspections with our expanded video functionality. The Inspection Manager App now supports video capture for both ingoing and outgoing inspections, allowing users to attach one 30-second video to each item and one 3-minute video to each area. Additionally, a new 10-minute Property Overview video option provides a comprehensive visual record for any inspection type. Overview videos are accessible in reports, or with a QR code on PDF copy for easy viewing by tenants and administrators, offering an unmatched level of accuracy and engagement.



✨Extend Paperless Ingoing Timer Options

Say goodbye to last-minute stress with the new "Extend Paperless Timer" feature, designed to simplify deadline management for property inspections. Users can now quickly extend ingoing inspection deadlines by 1, 2, or 3 days with a simple dropdown menu, available right next to the "In Tenant Review" status. This streamlined approach keeps you in control, ensuring inspections are completed on time and with ease.



✨Flexible Maintenance Request Display in Inspection Manager Reports

Gain greater control over your Inspection Manager reports with the new "Maintenance Requests" toggle for Bricks + Agent integrated accounts.

Release Notes (Inspection Manager) | June 2024

Close and Email your Routine Inspections from our New Inspection Manager App

Have you moved to the new Inspection Manager App yet? If not, this months release might just convince you that it’s time! We have streamlined your inspection workflows as you can now mark your Routine inspections as "Closed" and email the inspection to both Landlords and Tenants when using our new mobile app.

To use the new app please first ensure that all inspections on the app you are currently using are synced and finalised. It is very important to ensure that all inspections are finalised before removing the old app from your device, deleting the app without finalising all inspections first can result in data loss.

Once you’ve completed that step, then you can install and use the new app for any new inspections going forward. The new app is available on both iPhone and Android devices. Simply search for "Proptech Labs Property Manager" on the app store and install.
