The Ultimate Guide to Property Inspect’s New Features for 2022

January 6, 2022

Over the past year, our team of dedicated developers at Property Inspect have been working tirelessly to deliver a whole host of new and exciting features for 2022.

This December, we introduced one new addition to the Property Inspect suite of services each and every day leading up to Christmas, in a feature-packed extravaganza we’re calling Property Inspect Advent.

However, it must be said, we’re not developing features just for the sake of it. Each new addition to our end-to-end property inspection software is a response to an industry in need of the latest technology and solutions to tackle everyday challenges.

As we continue to develop our industry-leading web and mobile applications, it’s important that we keep our finger on the pulse of the latest trends. That’s why we pride ourselves on our versatility, responsiveness and tech knowledge, drawn from 40 years of experience in software development and web applications.

Ultimately, what this means for Property Inspect users is that we can pinpoint exactly what is needed and roll it out for our new and existing clients, making their workflows much more efficient and their lives easier.
