Frequently asked
Is AI extraction a must-have?
Treat it as leverage on transcription, not a substitute for verification. The question to ask any vendor is how their design separates suggestion from accepted fact.
We already have a mobile forms tool. Why change?
If it models spaces and assets with evidence, enforces review, and exports a structured schedule with an image package, you may not need to. Those four capabilities, not mobile forms themselves, are the differentiator.
How long does team adoption take?
Plan around the smallest unit of habit: space first, then asset, then photo standard. Crews that adopt the naming discipline early get clean exports from the first building.
