Inspections

Property inspections that end in a work order, not a PDF

Checklist inspections with per-item pass/fail, photo evidence, and a corrective work order created straight from the failed item.

Why inspections usually fail as software

Most inspection tools stop at a document. Someone walks the unit, ticks boxes, exports a PDF, emails it, and then re-types the problems into a maintenance system — or forgets to. The finding and the fix live in different places, so nobody can prove a repair was ever made.

In Ayillo the inspection is a record on the unit. Each line item carries a pass, fail, or not-applicable result, a photo, and a note. A failed item creates a corrective work order that links back to the item it came from, so the evidence trail runs from the walkthrough to the closed repair.

The inspection types you actually run

  • Move-in and move-out condition, side by side, for deposit decisions that hold up.
  • Annual unit inspections across a whole property in one pass.
  • Safety checks — smoke and CO detectors, egress, extinguishers.
  • Equipment inspections — boiler, roof, elevator — tied to the asset register.
  • Common-area walks for hallways, laundry, garage, and grounds.

What happens after the walk

Findings roll into the operations calendar and the unit's 360 profile. Deposit disputes are answered with dated move-in and move-out photos of the same item. Preventive schedules pick up equipment findings so a failing water heater is on a plan instead of in someone's memory.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Does it work offline in a basement?

The inspection form holds your entries in the browser and submits when the connection returns, so a dead spot doesn't lose the walk.

Can a failed item become a repair automatically?

Yes. One click on a failed item opens a work order pre-filled with the property, unit, item, note, and photos, and links it back to the inspection.

Can I compare move-in and move-out?

Yes. Both inspections sit on the same unit record, so items line up for deposit decisions.
