Automation Designed for Revenue and Reliability
Automations handle follow ups, reminders, and communication automatically, based on rules you control. From increasing add on revenue to keeping contractors, inspectors, and clients in sync, your business keeps moving without manual work.
Included Automation Use Cases:
Upsells
Automatically follow up when a client does not book an add on service. Send targeted emails or texts that increase attachment rates without extra selling. Inspectors using upsell automations add an average of $76 per inspection in additional revenue.
Contractor Notices
Automatically notify third party contractors by email or text when they are needed. For example, when a sewer scope is added, your contractor is instantly informed without manual coordination.
Internal Notifications
Keep your team aligned automatically. Notify inspectors when they are assigned a new inspection so they do not need to constantly check their calendar.
Service-Specific Automation
Create different automations for different services. For example, send an 11-month follow-up reminder for “new construction inspections” or trigger service specific messaging based on what was booked.
Smart Reminders
Set custom rules for emails and texts based on client actions. For example, only send a reminder if the contract has not been signed or payment has not been completed the day before the inspection.
Increase Revenue with Automated Upsells
Intelligently upsell your ancillary services through Actions, our rule-based email and text system that immediately gives you a return on investment.
Tailor Communication With Contact Tags
Make your messaging more relevant by tagging contacts:
Repeat Agents
Agents you frequently work with can get a different set of email & text message reminders than the agent working with you for the first time.
Investors
Investors often have different needs than a family buying their next home. Give them a different set of automated actions.
First-Time Home Buyers
Know it's a client's first rodeo? Give them extra love with an email sequence offering more education and knowledge.
Get your team paid.
Automate how inspectors get paid so payroll is fast, accurate, and stress-free. Spectora Advanced lets you define pay rules once and applies them consistently across every inspection, so you spend less time on math and more time running your business.
Pay Split Options
By Service: Set different pay rates for different services, including flat rates or percentages. Whether it’s a standard inspection, radon, sewer scope, or add-on service, Advanced automatically applies the correct split every time.
By Inspector: Customize pay rules at the inspector level to support raises, incentives, or seniority. Easily override default splits so loyal inspectors are rewarded without creating manual exceptions each pay period.
Payroll Reports: Generate clear, detailed payroll reports in seconds. View pay splits by inspector and service, see how each payout was calculated, and export reports for easy processing every pay period.
When you're doing more than just home inspections.
Link additional service events directly to an inspection so every step stays organized in one place. With Spectora Advanced, you can create separate calendar events, assign the right team member to each task, and keep everything connected across web and mobile.
Radon Drop-off / Pick-up
Automatically track when equipment needs to be dropped off and picked up and assign these events to the appropriate team member. Keep equipment moving without manual coordination or missed steps.
Water Tests
Create events for water sample pick up and drop off and assign them to the right person. Stay organized with clear timelines and responsibilities, without extra reminders.
The right inspector. Every time.
As your team and service offerings grow, not every inspector can perform every service. Spectora Advanced ensures inspections are always assigned to qualified inspectors, keeping scheduling accurate and operations running smoothly.
Online Scheduler Accuracy
The Online Scheduler intelligently assigns inspectors that can perform the primary service being requested or, optionally, all services being requested. This prevents misassignments and keeps your schedule efficient without manual checks.
Office Staff Warnings
If office staff attempt to schedule an inspector who cannot perform a requested service, Advanced surfaces warnings before the assignment is made, helping prevent costly mistakes.
Minimize drive times.
As your team grows, efficiency depends on smart routing. Service Areas allows you to define where inspectors work so scheduling stays fast, accurate, and cost effective.
Maximize Efficiency: The Online Scheduler only offers inspectors who work within the service area. If inspectors are auto selected, the closest qualified inspector is chosen to reduce drive time and increase daily capacity.
Staff Alerts: If office staff attempt to schedule an inspector outside their service area, Advanced displays warnings to prevent inefficient assignments and unnecessary travel.
Make better decisions.
Spectora Advanced turns your operational data into clear, actionable insights so you can make confident business decisions based on real performance, not guesswork.
Business Intelligence: Build custom dashboards that surface the metrics that matter most to your business. Track revenue by inspector, inspections by ZIP code, top referring agencies, revenue by service, and more.
Prebuilt Charts and Graphs: Get started quickly with dozens of prebuilt charts and visualizations designed for common inspection business questions, without manual setup.
Spreadsheet Exports: Export any data into a CSV file for deeper analysis, sharing, or reporting outside of Spectora.

FAQs
Advanced works for any home inspection business, whether you're flying solo, managing a small team, or running a multi-location operation. If administrative tasks are eating into your inspection time and you want to earn more without working harder, Advanced helps you automate the busywork and focus on what actually makes you money.
Why is Advanced a separate tool
Not everyone needs the extra horsepower. Our core software gives you everything to run great inspections, while Advanced adds powerful automation and analytics for inspectors ready to grow. It keeps costs down for those starting out and gives you room to scale up when the time's right.
How does billing work for Advanced?
You'll get billed at the same time every month for all billable inspections in the past month. Your billing date defaults to the date you begin using Spectora Advanced, but you can always change your billing date to whenever you like.
What counts as a billable inspection?
You only get charged for published inspections. Inspections that you cancel or delete will not be billed. You'll have full access to features like Advanced Metrics and Pay Splits as long as you have Advanced enabled.
It's important to note that any published inspection while using Advanced is billable, regardless of whether you use any particular feature within that inspection. (i.e. Actions, Inspection Events, Pay Splits, Service Limitations, etc.)
It's also important to note that you're billed based on your Spectora Advanced status at the time of publishing. That means there might be a few scheduled inspections that you will get billed for after first enabling Advanced despite not having Advanced tools on those inspections. Should you ever decide to cancel Advanced, you won't be billed for inspections you haven't published yet (despite having Advanced features on that inspection.) We believe this balances out and keeps things more simple.
Is this a replacement for ISN?
It can be! While our standard features meet the business management needs of many inspectors, large and fast-growth companies with more complex needs have historically turned to ISN. Many of these companies asked us to build comparable tools with the hope of having a single point-of-contact for software and to avoid integration issues. We listened to our userbase and built Spectora Advanced!
Do you have resources to help me get started
Yes, absolutely. We have Solutions Specialists who can help determine if Advanced is the right fit, and Implementation Specialists available to guide you through setup. Depending on your needs, we'll connect you with the right resources to get you up and running smoothly and start seeing results fast.
