In this episode, host Rob Claus welcomes Jeff Womelsdorf and Jon Ajinga, co-founders of InspectorPrime, to discuss their journey building a report writing solution developed specifically for commercial property inspections. As Marine Corps veterans, Jeff and Jon share how the routines, processes, and discipline from their service shaped the development of their software and how they identified a gap in the market that existing tools weren't filling.

What You'll Learn:
• Commercial inspection software requires a purpose-built approach, not a residential tool adapted for commercial use.
• A user-friendly client portal can make reports more accessible and improve the overall client experience.
• Real-time field note submission enhances efficiency and accuracy during inspections.
• Built-in quality assurance allows inspectors to review and finalize reports before delivery.
• Building on Airtable provides stability, flexibility, and full data ownership for inspectors.
• Customization options allow inspectors to tailor the platform to their workflow and align with the ComSOP.
