AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use natural language processing to extract dates and availability from contractor emails. Use optical character recognition to verify certificate details. A human reviewer must validate the certificate content before it is marked compliant.
What your team sees
Key screens: Compliance dashboard, contractor booking interface, document review queue. Use a dashboard for status overview, a booking form for contractor communication, and a review area for PDFs. The first view is the dashboard, followed by the booking interface and document review queue.
Accounts and administration
User roles for managers and reviewers, audit trail of actions, version history of the register, approval states for certificates
Integrations and data access
Google Calendar, Outlook, Gmail/IMAP, cloud storage (Google Drive/OneDrive)
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will facilities leads at property management firms use it to solve "compliance certificates expire unnoticed, leading to fines or insurance invalidation"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. A paid pilot proves it by tracking a specific set of high-risk certificates (e.g., fire safety) for three months, comparing the time spent on admin before and after, and measuring the number of renewals completed on time.
- Measure, then decide. Track percentage of renewals completed on time and hours saved per month on admin tasks. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. First cut: one property portfolio, one inspection type (e.g., fire alarms), manual review of the first batch of certificates
After the MVP. Automate the human review step using OCR to verify certificate validity, integrate with accounting software for invoice matching, and add multi-language support for international sites
What the build depends on. Stable internet connection, access to contractor email inboxes, ability to send emails on behalf of the user

Paid pilot
A paid pilot proves it by tracking a specific set of high-risk certificates (e.g., fire safety) for three months, comparing the time spent on admin before and after, and measuring the number of renewals completed on time.
Success metrics
Percentage of renewals completed on time, hours saved per month on admin tasks
Retention and expansion
Earns recurring revenue as long as the client has certificates to manage, with upsells for additional inspection types
Why clients would pick it
The value comes from the specific parsing logic for contractor emails and the integration with calendar systems, which becomes harder to replicate as the library of contractor communication styles grows
Alternatives and positioning
Excel spreadsheets, manual calendar reminders, generic email automation tools
Main delivery costs
Server hosting, API costs for email parsing and calendar integration
Safeguards
Strict permission settings to prevent the system from cancelling existing appointments, manual override buttons for complex contractor replies, and a requirement for human approval before marking a certificate as compliant
