Comparing inspection software
available in Quebec
Quebec's market has several serious options. The question that matters: where does the process break between two tools? Here's where DomiSpect stands apart, and where other options will suit you better.
Where does the process break?
A report writer, a calendar, a signature tool, invoicing software, a spreadsheet for follow-ups. Each does its part well. Between each part, someone retypes. Most software organizes parts of the process. DomiSpect connects the whole process.
Separate tools
- Before Contract as a PDF by email; appointment in a personal calendar
- Field You collect photos, notes and recordings
- Office You listen back, search your phrase library, write and format
- Office You proofread everything alone, then send a PDF
- After Invoice in another program; follow-ups in a spreadsheet
The software files your work. It doesn't connect it.
With DomiSpect
- Before The contract is signed by link; the appointment carries the client and the inspector
- Field You shoot photos and dictate; each proposal waits for your "Apply"
- Field Your findings are recorded on site, with or without network; the report assembles as you go
- Office A full read-through flags what's missing; you check, then sign
- After Portal, invoice paid online, actions and re-inspection
Inspection done. Report almost done. File connected.
Before / With DomiSpect
One piece of data goes in once. The whole company uses it.
| Step | Before | With DomiSpect |
|---|---|---|
| Client data | Name and address typed into the calendar, the contract, the report, the invoice | Created once, reused everywhere |
| Quote and contract | PDF by email, taxes by hand, signature elsewhere | SOU quote with GST/QST; CTR contract signed by link, SHA-256, immutable |
| Scheduling | Personal calendar, text messages | Shared calendar tied to the client, the property, the inspector; field mode closed without a signed contract |
| Fieldwork | Photos on the phone, paper notes, writing in the evening | Domi mode, proposals to apply, labels read on site, offline |
| Writing | The evening is spent writing, from photos, a notebook and a dictation to transcribe | The evening is spent reviewing drafts that are already structured |
| Quality control | Proofreading from memory, late | Review AI + pre-signature checks (RBQ profile, sections, photos, limitations) |
| Signature | An image pasted into a PDF | Time-stamped, tied to a verified RBQ profile, SHA-256 fingerprint, audit log |
| Report and delivery | "v2 final" PDF as an attachment | Timestamped report, SHA-256, immutable; portal by revocable link |
| Invoicing | Separate software, manual reminders | FAC invoice with GST/QST, online payment, automatic receipt |
| After the report | Nothing, or a spreadsheet | Finding → action → evidence → closure → linked re-inspection |
| Compliance | In the owner's head | Insurance with alerts, verified RBQ, Law 25 register, audit log |

When another solution suits you better
No software fits everyone. Here are the cases where we're not the best choice.
You want something proven for 15 years
DomiSpect is launching. If longevity and a large existing user base are your main criteria, vendors that have been around longer, in Quebec and elsewhere in North America, have that advantage over us.
You want a report writer, on its own
No contract, no invoicing, no actions, at the lowest possible cost: a specialized writer will be cheaper. Dictation is only one of DomiSpect's inputs; its value is in the chain.
You're looking for the lowest price
Our plans start at $149/month. Some market options cost less. Our bet: the time recovered is worth more than the price gap — but that's yours to judge.
You practise outside Quebec
The full chain works in French and English, but the standard, the regulatory checks and the taxes available are Quebec's. Provincial packs are planned, with no date.
You need an API or SSO today
Public API, SAML SSO and connectors are planned, not available today. If your IT requires them now, another solution will serve you better.
You want to import your files in one click
There is no automatic importer. Migration is supported by our team, file by file. A client-side project portal for commercial work is also planned, not delivered.
4 questions to ask every vendor
When I leave the building, what percentage of the report is written?
If the answer is "you just need to format it," you'll keep working evenings.
Who reviews my report before I sign it?
A required-fields check is not a review. Ask what is actually verified.
How many other tools will I still need?
Calendar, contracts, signature, invoicing, follow-ups: add up every subscription, not just the inspection software.
How do I export all my files if I leave?
Ask before signing, not the day you want to switch. At DomiSpect: exports provided on request; self-service export planned.
Looking to go digital instead? The table above compares products. If your question is "what is digital inspection software, and which level am I at?", start with the four levels of digital inspection.
