Why Scope
Your software works.
Look at what it leaves you to do.
Not an argument that what you have is broken. It probably does the job it was bought for. The question is what collects in the gaps around it.
- Collecting square footage, age, foundation and parking by hand, and the callbacks it takes when nobody has them ready
- Forwarding job details to the right agent, and hoping the wrong party did not get them
- Working the price out from memory, or from a laminated matrix taped inside a cupboard door
- and five more like them
The old way, and one system
Eight pieces of work on one booking, and what settles each.

A booking that touches all four, the property's facts, the price, who is eligible and the time, is five to seven minutes of somebody's decisions. In Scope it is two or less.
Our own estimate, not a customer's measured result.
None of that is a missing feature. Every one of them is a person joining up two things the software left unconnected, which is why a better version of the same shape does not fix it.
What is left, and it is the whole argument
The inspection is the unit of work. Everything downstream reads from it rather than being told about it, which is a claim about where facts live.
Every product in this category says that. What makes it checkable is that we also tell you where it stops.
- Your rulesA condition on the job sets the price, the time and who is qualified
- Valid schedulesAn address becomes a short list of times that survive every check
- One recordThe office, the field, the client and the agent are on the same inspection
- Money follows workPay derives from the services each person actually performed
What stays exactly where it is
One system does not mean one supplier. The tools your team has opinions about, Scope asks nothing of.
The software your inspectors write in is a tool they have opinions about, and those opinions are usually right. Replacing it is a cost with no return, so we do not ask.
What Scope does not do
- Write your reports
- Own your templates
- Hold your narrative library
- Ask you to move any of it
What we will not claim
Four limits, each one published on the page it belongs to.
Automated email is table stakes
Every serious product in this category sends one, and some of them with more controls than we have. It is not a reason to choose anything.
Not builtThe shape of the product, stated as an absence
A permission model
Scope decides what a job requires, not what a person is allowed to see. There is nothing to configure per person. That is the same design that lets one condition set the price, the time and who is qualified, read from the other end, and if your operation depends on restricting people rather than qualifying jobs it is a real difference worth an hour of somebody's time. Larger teams
Not verifiedWhere we know the difference between unknown and no
Report writing works offline. We have not checked the rest
The report is the part we can tell you about, and it is the part that happens in a basement. What else the app does without a connection, and exactly how it behaves when the signal comes back, is on our own internal list as unverified. Ask on the call and you will get the real answer rather than a comfortable one. Mobile app
Not measuredWhere an outcome claim would need a named customer
We do not have a customer's growth number to put here
The obvious thing here is a company that grew its field work without growing its office, with a name on it. We have not published one, because we do not have written permission from the company whose number it would be, and a number with nobody attached is worth nothing to you. Growing firms
Not ours to claimCertifications and guarantees belong to whoever holds them
We are not SOC 2, ISO or HIPAA certified
We hold none of them today. When that changes this page changes the same day, and you will be able to ask for the report rather than take our word for it. Trust and your data
None of it is a reason to buy anything. A vendor willing to write it down is telling you what the rest of their sentences are worth.
The same argument, at three sizes
Each makes the case for a company of a particular shape, and each publishes its own limits.
Common questions
We have used our current software for years. Why switch now?
Probably not for a feature. The reason to look is the left column above: if most of those are somebody's job at your company, that work does not get smaller by upgrading the thing that is already working.
Will the team struggle to learn it?
The people who resist software usually resist being asked to keep a second system up to date. Training happens per role on your own configuration, and your team practises on it before anything is live.
What happens to our report library?
Nothing. It stays in the tool it is in, and that tool stays. It is the most common thing people are afraid of here and it is the easiest one to answer.
What if it turns out not to work for us?
The terms are monthly and your data is yours to export. There is no version of this where the way you find out is being unable to leave.
Does this replace everything we use?
No, and the section on what stays is the specific answer. Scope holds the operating decisions on an inspection. The tools your team has opinions about are not the ones it is trying to win.
What does the move actually involve?
Six stages, three of them yours, and nothing goes live until you approve it. The switching page walks the whole of it, including what we will not promise about timing.
Bring the workflow your software leaves to judgement
A demo of this page would be a feature tour, which is what it has spent seven sections not being. Bring one of these and we will run it instead.
- The job type your office argues about
- The pricing exception nobody has written down
- The booking that always needs a phone call
- The one thing your current software leaves to somebody's judgement
