Property Operations

Property inspection workflow

Inspection schedules, checklist evidence, photographs and remedial actions are split across paper, files and follow-up messages.

Business problem

Inspection schedules, checklist evidence, photographs and remedial actions are split across paper, files and follow-up messages.

What teams see

  • Work waits between schedule inspection and load property checklist.
  • Owners reconstruct status from Google Calendar and Web forms.

Why it happens

  • No shared state spans Google Calendar, Web forms, Cloud storage.
  • Decision and exception rules are applied inconsistently.

Why it becomes expensive

  • Capacity is consumed by coordination and rework.
  • Late exceptions weaken visibility and service quality.

Business outcomes

  • Shorter approve inspection record cycle
  • Fewer handoff and missing-information exceptions
  • Clear ownership from schedule inspection to approve inspection record
  • Inspectable decisions and recovery

Measurable KPIs

  • Turnaround time: Elapsed time from schedule inspection to approve inspection record.
  • Manual intervention rate: Share of items needing a person outside defined review conditions.
  • Exception age: Time unresolved exceptions remain without a completed action.
  • Successful completion rate: Share of valid workflow items completing without terminal failure.

How the workflow works

  1. Schedule inspection — Accept and identify the property inspection workflow trigger. Google Calendar
  2. Load property checklist — Execute load property checklist with validated sample data and an auditable result. Google Calendar
  3. Capture findings — Execute capture findings with validated sample data and an auditable result. Web forms
  4. Attach photo references — Execute attach photo references with validated sample data and an auditable result. Cloud storage
  5. Classify issues — Execute classify issues with validated sample data and an auditable result. Google Calendar
  6. Assign actions — Execute assign actions with validated sample data and an auditable result. Web forms
  7. Verify closeout — Execute verify closeout with validated sample data and an auditable result. Cloud storage
  8. Approve inspection record — Execute approve inspection record with validated sample data and an auditable result. Google Calendar
  9. Audit and KPI update — Persist the execution outcome, audit facts and workflow measurement events. SEIDO execution store

Integrations and ownership

  • Google Calendar: Provide workflow input
  • Web forms: Lookup and update context
  • Cloud storage: Receive controlled outcome

Human responsibility: Property manager

Failure and recovery

Google Calendar is temporarily unavailable.

Retry with capped exponential backoff; preserve the run and move it to the inspectable failure queue after the limit.

Required data for load property checklist is malformed or missing.

Stop downstream actions and show the missing fields, source evidence and correction action to the named reviewer.

The trigger or provider event is delivered more than once.

Return the existing execution identified by the idempotency key and do not repeat downstream business actions.

The human decision expires before completion.

Escalate to the configured substitute, retain the original request and record both expiry and reassignment.

When not to build this

  • Monthly volume is too low to justify integrating Google Calendar, Web forms, Cloud storage.
  • An existing configured platform already handles property inspection workflow with adequate ownership and reporting.
  • Reliable source data or supported API access is unavailable.
  • No business owner has authority to define the decision and exception rules.
