The Client

COAX Software had been on the market for more than ten years. The COAX Team had earned a solid reputation for delivering complex software solutions for many businesses in the construction industry. Positive reviews and careful screening of available options led our new client, Site Survey, to turn to us for solutions.

Site Survey is an app that enables property professionals to produce detailed photographic Schedules of Conditions quickly. These reports are factual records that are typically created for legal or other contractual obligations. Creating these accurate documents significantly reduces inspection time, produces high-quality, accurate information, and reduces manual administration of photos.

The Challenge

The COAX Design Team accepted the challenge presented by Site Survey and walked through creating the app as it stepped through the subsequent phases of development. Requirements were that the new application provides solutions to these current issues facing the client with its existing platform:

Inconvenient manual data collection.
Large amounts of manual data accumulation.
No centralized data storage.

Organized members experience inaccessibility of gathered inspection data.
No regulated data structuring process.
