SAMPLE REPORTS
Spectora's reports are designed to meet your needs — clear findings, photo documentation, and professional presentation that protects you legally and impresses your clients.
WHY SPECTORA
Tornado-Alley construction, red clay foundations that shift with the season, storm shelter assessments — Oklahoma inspectors work conditions you don't see elsewhere. Spectora handles every state-specific finding.
From Inspection to Invoice in One Tool
Schedule inspections, sign agreements, write reports, collect payments, and manage your clients — all in Spectora. No spreadsheets, no chasing PDFs, and no juggling disconnected tools. Just one login for your entire inspection business workflow.
Inspect, Sync, Send.
Spectora's mobile app captures photos and findings on the spot — and saves locally if you lose service out on a property. Voice notes turn into findings, photos auto-organize by system, so by the time you're back to the truck, your report is already 90% done.
Built for Oklahoma's Two Metros
Most Oklahoma inspectors work both the OKC and Tulsa markets at some point — different agents, different lenders, different schedules. Online scheduling, e-signed agreements, and automated reminders keep your day organized whether you're in Edmond or Broken Arrow.
Grow Referrals From OKC to Tulsa
Automated Google review requests after every report, plus a referral source tracker so you know exactly which agents and clients send you business across Oklahoma's two biggest markets.
