The Requirement
A leading Indian paint company wanted to make its building inspection and pre-quotation workflow faster and more structured.
Field teams had to inspect a site, identify visible defects, understand the issue, determine the appropriate material and then carry that information forward into the estimation and quotation process.
The requirement was to build a mobile and web-based building inspection application that could:
- digitise the site inspection workflow;
- capture building and defect information in one place;
- use AI to assist with defect identification;
- recommend the relevant material based on the identified defect;
- connect inspection information with the subsequent estimation and quotation workflow;
- continue supporting field inspections even when internet connectivity was unavailable.
Our Role
We worked as the application development and delivery partner, taking responsibility for both the product implementation and coordination across the different teams involved.
Our scope included:
- translating the existing inspection process into a structured digital workflow;
- mobile application development;
- web application development;
- offline field functionality;
- defect image capture and management;
- integration with the AI layer;
- connecting AI output with material recommendation logic;
- inspection and reporting workflows;
- QA and release coordination;
- coordination between the client, development and AI teams.
We acted as the central delivery layer so that the application, AI capability and operational workflow functioned as one connected system rather than separate workstreams.
The Solution
We developed a building inspection platform that brings the complete inspection journey into one system across mobile and web.
Field teams can:
- create and manage inspections;
- capture building and site information;
- photograph visible defects;
- maintain inspection records;
- continue relevant field activity while offline;
- receive AI-assisted defect analysis;
- view the relevant material recommendation;
- carry inspection information forward into the operational workflow.
AI-Assisted Workflow
The AI capability was embedded directly into the inspection process.
Site Inspection → Defect Image Capture → AI Analysis → Defect Identification → Material Recommendation → Estimation & Quotation Process
When a field user captures an image of a defect, the image is passed to the AI layer for analysis.
The AI output helps identify the visible defect. That result is then mapped to the relevant material recommendation and surfaced back inside the inspection application.
This means the photograph captured during the site visit does more than serve as documentation. It becomes an input into the next stage of the business process.
Business Process Automation
The platform connects activities that previously required multiple manual steps and information handoffs.
It brings together:
- field data collection;
- defect documentation;
- AI-assisted analysis;
- material identification;
- inspection records;
- reporting;
- information required for the subsequent commercial workflow.
The application therefore functions as more than a digital inspection form. It acts as a workflow automation layer connecting field operations with the processes that follow.
Operational Outcome
The platform created a more connected and structured route from building inspection to material identification and the subsequent estimation and quotation process.
It enabled field teams to:
- capture inspection information and defect imagery within one system;
- use AI-assisted analysis during defect identification;
- access relevant material recommendations within the same workflow;
- reduce dependence on disconnected manual checks and information flows;
- continue inspection activity in locations with limited or unavailable internet connectivity;
- maintain inspection information across a common mobile and web platform.
The result is a building inspection process where field activity, technical analysis and downstream operations are connected through one digital workflow.
