The Stack

What Runs Where

Nine layers, with Spectora holding the record. Everything else is either switched on inside it or connected to it.

Home inspection is one of two industries where this rests on delivered work rather than inference.

System of Record
Spectora
Scheduling, agreements, the report writer, payments, client and agent records.
Intake
Spectora Online Scheduling
A request becomes an inspection with the agent and the source attached.
Documents
Spectora Agreements
Signed before the visit; the inspection cannot proceed without it.
Messaging
Spectora Automated Messaging
Confirmation, reminder, report delivered, review request — each written once.
Payments
Spectora Payments
Collected before the report is released.
Phone
OpenPhone
One business number that rings every inspector, with missed-call text-back and every call on the order.
Reviews
Review Automation on Report Delivery
Fires on its own, routed to one platform per request.
Visibility
Google Business Profile
Categories, service areas and hours kept right; reviews answered from the record.
Accounting
QuickBooks
Fees and agent commissions land once.

What We Switch On

Inside Spectora

  • Online scheduling with fee rules, so the price is calculated rather than guessed
  • Agreements attached to every inspection type and required before the visit
  • The message sequence from booking to review, in the owner's voice
  • Payment before report release
  • The review request on report delivery
  • Agent records and the referral report they make possible

What it does not do. Spectora does not run marketing or a long-lived customer record; at this size the inbox and the review profile do that work.

The Path

One Job, Start to Finish

  1. The Request

    An agent or a buyer books online or calls; it becomes an order with the agent and the source attached.

  2. The Agreement

    Signed before the visit; the order cannot progress without it.

  3. The Visit

    Reminder the day before, en-route text on the day.

  4. The Report

    Payment collected, then the report released — the only leverage point in the engagement.

  5. The Review

    The request fires on delivery; the agent gets a follow-up that keeps the referrals coming.
