Work you can prove was done
Send someone to fix something, and get back proof rather than a text message saying it's handled.
Instead ofA group text, a photo on someone's phone, and taking their word for it.
NowEvery issue walks a stamped trail from reported to verified — and whoever did the work can't be the one who signs it off.

Useful for: Capturing that something is wrong. Most businesses manage that much.
Check what your current setup can already do:
- Can the person verifying work be different from the person doing it?
- Are before-and-after photos attached to the same record?
- Can contractors see only the work and information assigned to them?
- Can your team retrieve a clear record of who did what and when?
Where custom work can help
- Reported where it happened, with a photo and a location, in seconds.
- Assigned to the responsible person or vendor — who sees only their own work, never your costs and never another vendor’s.
- Every step stamped with who and when: acknowledged, started, fixed, verified.
- Closure belongs to you. The contractor can mark it fixed; only your side can mark it verified, or send it back with a reason.
- Overdue work surfaces by itself instead of being remembered.
