● Why HI exists

Same Team. Same Engine. A New Trade.

HI isn't a from-scratch product built on guesses about home inspection. It's a proven inspection platform, pointed at a new vertical, with a real migration path for anyone who doesn't want to start over.

"We built RVi for RV inspectors and realized partway through that nothing about it was actually RV-specific — it was a template engine that happened to ship with RV checklists. HI is that same engine, pointed at home inspection, with a direct path in for anyone who already has their work saved in HomeGauge."

RVi started as a tool built to fix real problems RV inspectors run into every day: data entry that's slow to work with in the field, no visibility into whether a report is actually complete, and inspection data that lives on one device until someone remembers to sync it. The platform is cloud-native from the ground up, so what you enter in the field is just there — no transferring files, no waiting for a sync.

Building RVi taught us something we didn't expect going in: almost nothing about the platform itself was actually specific to RVs. Categories, checklist items, comment libraries, rating scales, real-time collaboration, PDF generation, buyer punch lists — all of that is generic inspection infrastructure. The only genuinely RV-specific part was the content of the templates themselves.

So we pointed the same engine at home inspection.

HI runs on the same backend, the same real-time collaboration, the same reporting and punch-list system RVi's customers already use in the field. What's different is the template content underneath it, and a direct import path for HomeGauge's .ht5 format — so switching doesn't mean rebuilding years of checklist work from scratch.

We're not claiming years of home-inspection-specific domain history. What we're offering instead is a platform that's already been proven under real inspection workloads, an honest migration path from where you already are, and a company small enough to actually respond when you tell us something's wrong.

Curious how that plays out feature-by-feature against HomeGauge, Spectora, or Palm-Tech?

What We Believe

The principles that guide every decision we make.

Inspectors First

We build for the people doing the work, not the people buying the software. If it doesn't make inspectors' lives easier, we don't build it.

A Proven Engine, Not a Guess

HI isn't a first attempt at inspection software. It's built on the same platform already handling real RV inspections in the field.

Modern by Default

Cloud‑native. Mobile‑first. Real‑time collaboration. We don't bolt new features onto old architectures — we build for how teams work today.

Fair Pricing

No enterprise sales cycles. No hidden fees. Pricing that scales with your business, not against it — including a low-volume plan that doesn't charge you for capacity you don't use.

Independent by Design

We're not part of a larger platform consolidation. Your roadmap gets shaped by what you tell us, not by someone else's acquisition strategy.

Listen & Iterate

We don't ship and forget. Your feedback — whether feature requests or bug reports — directly shapes our roadmap. We respond quickly because we're a focused team, not a massive corporation.
