A serial entrepreneur, Anthony Perera first thought of the Inspected app several months ago, but once the coronavirus restrictions began he knew he needed to quickly get the app operational. Anthony Perera is also the Founder and President of Florida-based HVAC servicing company Air Pros USA, which is rapidly expanding across the U.S., with local operations in Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Texas, and Washington.

Anthony Perera’s new solution is already helping many Government Agencies and municipal authorities throughout the USA conduct virtual inspections virtually. His new patent-pending mobile application, called Inspected, speeds up the permitting process needed to complete or continue remote video inspections and businesses by allowing inspectors to visually approve work and close permits without having to physically visit the site.

How INSPECTED works:

• Inspectors/contractors and businesses seeking permits can download the Inspected app on their mobile device and create a profile that uses geo-tagging to verify their address. Once completed, they can open a permit request and schedule inspections.
• At the designated time, Inspectors will use the online platform to open a video conferencing dialogue with the permit holder to review the application, ask questions, record photos, and videos, and approve and close the permit.
• Geo-location allows the Inspector to verify accuracy and create a record of the permit with supporting documents.
• The Inspected system makes record-keeping easy and efficient, with everything time-stamped and GPS verified.
