Overview
Context
Inspectors document damage in flooded properties and prepare reports for insurance companies
Problem
Inspections are long and repetitive: many steps in tough conditions, everything is manual → it takes time and leads to errors
Expected Result
A tool that automates data collection, guides the next step, and speeds up report preparation → faster work and fewer errors

Users
Inspectors Working in Tough On-Site Conditions
Age 40–50
Mid-career inspectors
Manual Work
Photos, notes, tape
Tech Skeptic
Prefers simple tools
Harsh Sites
Tight, dirty, dark
Constraints
LiDAR Works Only On iOS
Because Android LiDAR wasn’t stable enough, v1 supports iOS only
No BA, No Specs
I gathered requirements myself, so the design was the source of truth
Inspection-First MVP
For the MVP we focused on the inspection flow first, then planned extra features
Roles & Responsibilities
How I Worked with the Team

Customer Journey Map
I Learned How Inspectors Work and Where Time Is Lost

Insight: Inspection Has Many Steps
I realized the flow has more stages than I thought: claim intake, scheduling, planning, inspection, drying, report
Hypothesis: Guided Flow Is Faster
Combining separate steps into one structured flow could save time and reduce errors
Insight: Manual Data Entry Causes Errors
I saw that information is spread across email, notes, and messaging apps, which leads to mistakes
Hypothesis: LiDAR Speeds Up Measurements
LiDAR scans could cut room measurements to ~2 minutes vs manual tape
User Flow
Turned The Journey Into A Clear Status Flow

Claim Lifecycle Has Distinct States
A claim moves through several statuses from New to Closed
Inspection Can Be Split Into Steps
Leak, actions taken, and damage work well as separate stages in the flow
Drying Works As An Optional Flow
Drying can be attached only when needed without complicating the main inspection
Wireframes
Locked In The Structure Of Key Screens

Layout Must Support The Flow
Testing different layouts helped keep the inspection steps simple to follow
Data Visibility Is Critical
Arranging fields around the claim made it easier to see the full picture at a glance
Claim Screen Needs Quick Actions Nearby
Keeping data, notes, and primary actions on one screen makes inspectors faster on site
Receiving a New Claim
Problem
No single intake channel for incoming claims
Solution
Impact
Single process: no lost claims, clear ownership




Scheduling a Visit
Problem
Visit scheduling happens manually and isn’t captured in the system
Solution
Impact
Fewer calls and back-and-forth messages




Planning The Day, Route & Workload
Problem
The day's schedule and route are assembled from several unrelated sources
Solution
Impact
All claims and tasks in one place — nothing to keep in your head




On-Site Inspection
Problem
Inspection data is scattered across separate actions and tools on site
Solution
Impact
Step-by-step flow = fewer errors




Capturing Leak Cause & Actions
Problem
Leak cause and actions are captured inconsistently
Solution
Impact
Inspectors fill out claims consistently, and reports are reviewed and compiled faster




Room Measurements & Damage Capture
Problem
Room measurements and evidence are collected manually
Solution
Impact
Inspectors collect data faster and make fewer measurement errors








Drying & Follow-Up Visit
Problem
Drying and the follow-up visit aren’t a formal stage — they exist only as the inspector’s personal reminders
Solution
Impact
The follow-up visit doesn’t get lost: all drying work is tied to the claim




Report
Problem
The final report is compiled manually some time after the inspection
Solution
Impact
Report preparation is faster and more structured
