Property inspectors were filling paper forms, posting them to head office, and waiting weeks for processing. With thousands of properties requiring regular safety checks, this manual process was unsustainable.
Here’s how we digitized property safety management for a global travel operator.
The Challenge
A global travel operator managed thousands of rental properties across multiple countries, each requiring different safety checks based on local regulations and guest demographics. The manual inspection process was slow, error-prone, and couldn't keep pace with regulatory requirements.
The Core Issue:
Inspectors filled paper forms on-site, posted them to head office, and the filing process took weeks. With thousands of properties requiring regular safety checks (some multiple times per year), the administrative burden was overwhelming.
The Regulatory Complexity:
Different countries had different safety requirements, and property categorization affected which checks were needed — families with children required different safety standards than adult-only accommodations.
The Solution
Our Approach:
Complete digitization of the inspection process with intelligent compliance routing.
The Innovation:
