We frequently receive praise from users when they experience how 3D Inspection System software helps their business.  Here is just a small sampling from hundreds of responses that we have received...

"I too have been using the 3D system for quite some time now, with a PDA then downloading back at the office. Two programs in one so to speak. I take very little paper notes. Soup to nuts in two hrs complete, comprehensive, in essay type form, including pictures in text, automatically generated table of contents, findings page, condition & value page and signature page which I have my SAMS seal on. A totally modifiable program, if you want you can have a check box on your PDA with a ten page essay attached. I've modified my version a lot and my items list is extensive with essay type findings and conditions. By the way support from 3D is very good and prompt. One other note, you can integrate all your Force 5 info into the program."

"Using 3D stands me out from the crowd, which I know makes my competition stew.  My Clients are thrilled with a quality report, all love the way they look.  The process is smooth they tell me, and repeat business they always book."

"I have used 3D since 1997 when I went through training at Midwest Inspectors Institute in Leavenworth, Kansas.  I was shown how a computer generated report can save money.  And after looking at other software, I purchased 3D.  Each year since the program has gotten better.  After looking at other programs on the market 3D is still the best program for the Inspection industry.  Being able to make changes to the report to fit 'My way' of doing Business and to improve the report over the years has been a added feature.  I take many pictures during a inspection and being able to put them in the report where they are alongside the items they pertain to, helps my clients to better understand.  When my report is shown to potential home buyers it sells my company.  I have one agent that sells homes nationwide from coast to coast.  The first thing she asks me if I know of an inspector in another area uses the same inspection software that I use. Then she asks if they are ASHI inspectors.  She says that she wants the best.  My report is my business. "

"Using 3D software is the best thing I have done for my business, I’m a marine surveyor, the marine equivalent of a home inspector.  I write my marine survey reports with it and it has not only made my reports standout from the crowd (of other marine surveyors), but it saves me an estimated 2 to 3 hours per report.  I used to use Microsoft Word for my reports and I found my self typing the same things over and over again, but with the 3D software I can get those items into the report by a tick on the screen.  I’ve been using the software for almost 4 years, and when I started I was still taking notes by hand on my clipboard and then sitting down at my computer with the 3D software.  That saved me about an hour per report once I got used to the software.  After about a year I purchased a pocket PC, loaded the pocket PC version into it and WOW did that save me even more time.  Now when I’m on the boat I am getting a lot of the report done right there.  I plug the [PDA] into the docking station when I get back and then open the report on my desk computer.  I then go through each item and make any corrections and additions, as well as inserting pictures with circles and arrows into the report.  I find that being able to see a picture of problem I am describing makes a world of difference to the readers of the report.  When it is all done I print it with the PDF printer that comes with the 3D software and email the report to my customer.  They get a nice digital copy that they can see all the pictures very well, and I save a lot on paper and printer ink!  Everyone is happy.

"My motto is 'I try to be the best in my field.' To be the best and try to out-distance my competition I do several things.  Most things I keep to myself, but my number one thing is my inspection reports. I have looked at all of them and I picked 3D- after all it is like me, the best in its field.  I take my time and easily add a photo at nearly every spot-it is so easy to do. This helps my buyers and my real estate agent see what a problem is and where it is. When I check a shower or jetted tub, etc. I have a flash showing the water running- there is no question I checked that tub. I have photos of rooms showing walls— if something was hidden at the inspection it can be seen. This 3D Inspection has got me out of hot water so many times. It is like having a check list so I do not miss any thing. It is so easy to be distracted,3D keeps me on track.  And being able to have a drop down to add a heading just adds that extra punch to say what I want to say at the exact moment. I have 3D on my laptop and at the end of my inspection I put the report on a flash disc and work on the report at home on my desk top. Most likely I spend a good 30 minutes longer than most inspectors spend on there report, but I like to take advantage of all the good points of 3D. After all it takes 3D software for me to be the best in my field. With out 3D I would not be the best in my field and with few homes being sold if you want to eat you have to be the best. There is no question that with 3D my customer can see just what I inspected as well as photos of their new home. This helps me get referrals. The agents keep me on there list because they want an inspection they can understand. It save them and me time when they do not have to call for an explanation."

"I can't begin to tell you how the 3D program has changed my life!  I began using the software right out of training and immediately had a distinct advantage over my competition here in Montana.  I came into a market that was saturated with other national chains in the inspection business but was able to surpass them by simply submitting the 3D report to the realtors.  One look and they were hooked.  My clients were very impressed with the product and word of mouth inspections started coming in just a few months!  With the 3D software, I have been able to customize my reports to include different form-sets and attachments that are tailored to each client and each report.  NO OTHER inspection service can do that with their software!  If support is needed, the response is fast.  The easy in-which the 3D system has allowed me to write my reports and deliver a highly detailed inspection has surly contributed to my success and has solidified my placement as one of the top inspectors in Montana.  The ONLY reason I am not the top inspector in Montana is that not everyone has been able to experience the quality service I provide and the best possible reporting tool on the market.  I look forward to years of inspecting and many more changes in the inspection industry.  I know whatever the change, 3D will be there with me.

"As a yacht surveyor, I obviously have enjoyed the part of my job on the boat, on a nice day at the waterfront or performing a sea trial in yachts I could never afford to own myself. However the bliss of this great job always turned to drudgery when it came time to sit down for 6 to 8 hours, (believe it or not), and tediously write the report of my survey in an MS Word format that I designed myself. When I started surveying, only one software designer had developed a reporting system that worked well enough, but offered no flexibility to customize. I chose not to urchase this proprietary software and design my own. After using my own format for several years, and with a lot of courage, I finally made the switch to 3D 2 years ago. After the original investment of time spent learning the software then customizing my reports, I now can deliver a very professional looking report, that doesn't look like boilerplate in less than half the time. Using a PDA, I can also get the report started while on the job. This time saved paid for 3D in only a few surveys. It's now money, (and time), in my pocket."

"In 1999 I took a team of Franchise executives and a software engineer to one of the National Conferences. Our goal was to interview all of the major software firms with the hopes of finding one who will work with us. We needed to have someone’s product look like ours. Our system was no longer viable. After looking at each of the others we all decided 3D was the one which would give us all of the options without losing our identity. Fast forwarding to now, I own a home inspection consulting firm. It is my responsibility to give my clients the advice they are looking for. I currently have over 12 software products in my computer. I have looked at each of them, I have operated each of them, the one which I perform my inspections with is 3D. The thing which I like the most is the speed. From the time I plug my camera into the computer until the time I am hitting print I am able to produce a quality and custom 30+ page inspection report in under 30 minutes. This not only giving me a superior product to give my clients by quality of life for my family.  Gone is the two hour inspection report."

"In 2000, one year into starting my home inspection business, I was performing 2-3 inspections per day, staying up till the wee hours and waking up at 5:00 am just to finish reports using a computerized check list type of system. Business was great but the wear and tear on family and body was not so great. Then at a conference in Clearwater, Fl., I met Carl Fowler with 3D inspections. When he showed me the new features of his program, I believe it was release 6 or 7, I was convinced. Now working on release 11, I can honestly say the program has allowed us to grow and maintain sanity and family life.
  Our typical inspection involves a 2-3 hour process from start of inspection to the actual delivery of the report onsite to the client via e-mail. When we leave the site we have our signed contract, payment and we are done! Each inspector's reports are the same company wide. This was only possible using the handheld computer with Pocket3D, camera and laptop with 3D.
  I was able to produce an inspection form following the procedure we developed to perform inspections. Anyone can produce an inspection form that matches their way of doing business. That is the beauty of this program. The Office Management database is invaluable, the word processor works great and integrates with the inspection form and the Report Writer is unmatched.
  The technical support via e-mail is great! Whenever I have a problem or question, a simple e-mail will be answered within the day if the question is sent early and no later than the next morning. And there is no additional charge for the support. The annual renewal subscription to keep up to date with the latest modifications is very affordable. Our business has grown each year, even with the recent slowdown. 3D Inspection software has played a huge part in that growth. We could never perform the number of inspections and produce the quality reports without it. Thanks 3D!"

"I started my Home Inspection buisness in 1998, the 1st year was a struggle.  I'd seen 3D Software at several confrences and decided to make the investment in 3D.   I was so excited when I got the software, I produced 100 sample reports and delivered them to Realtors, Attorneys. When some of the Real Estate Agents gave my samples to the home inspectors that they were using they commented that there was 'No way I can produce a report like that' and 'I am not going to spend that kind of money on software.' My 2nd year in the profession my sales went up 30%, much of this was due to 3D Software.  As of this letter, we have produced over 4,000 inspections with 3D Software and we still get positive coments from our clients about the professional look.  The softward has performed flawlessly and the support has been Great! Thank You, Carl and the entire crew."

"I have seen several examples of inspection reports from different vendors and none of them can compare to the quality and overall flexibility of 3D’s report writing software. I have always received amazing accolades from my clients when they receive their inspection reports. They are very impressed with the amount of detail that is built into the report. I have always been a strong believer in using the best products because they place me several rings above my competition. Without 3D, I would just be a “typical” inspection company and that is not where I envision my business to be. Service is another integral part of my business plan as well. I have nothing but great things to say about 3D and its support staff. They have been terrific in supporting me when I have had issues. Thank you 3D."

"I do many single component inspections (electrical, plumbing) and I like the ability of 3D to tailor the report to the specific areas that I inspect.  I also have typical responses to these inspections and can customize any response as it applies to the specific inspection."

"We had a very high profile client who had us inspect twenty-three of their shopping centers.  Their inspection needs and reporting desires were very, very specific.  By using the 3D system we were able to custom make, on the go, a specific form set that met their needs.  The ease of the 3D system allowed us to be very specific and proficient in performing the inspections and reporting on the items in question.  Once the reports were completed they threw us another curve ball and wanted to incorporate their shopping center site maps into each and every report.  Well that was no problem with 3D we were able to easily incorporate their PDF maps and we were also able to highlight the areas in question on their maps.  In the end the client was very pleased and we now have a new form set in our repertoire, all because of the ease and custom ability of the 3D Reporting System."

"We have been using the 3D Inspection program since version 5 came out, and our business has gone from strength to strength. The Solicitors in town use us, as they find our reports the most easy to follow and with the extra detail we add, they are receiving more information than they get from our competitors. 3D has made life so much easier on site and cut down the length of time spent in the office doing the finishing touches. Our business would not be as successful as it is, if we were still using the old paper work we had. The ease of being able to email is an added bonus which allows us to deliver our reports very quickly and efficiently. Where would we be without 3D ? Working until all hours of the night, like we used to! We love it."

"You’re only as good as you last inspection! Real quality inspections are distinguished by one element, EFFICIENY!

"The program is so flexible in entering and editing data it surpasses any other program I have worked with in the past.  I was able to learn the program quickly and I find it is very user-friendly.  The Pocket 3D capability of creating the report on my mobile phone at the job site is extremely valuable.  It cuts my office report writing time in half.  I think my final report sets me apart from other surveyors in the area.  The web resource allows for quick reference to research materials.  The additional forms and cover letters offered in the software assists me in a start to finish report complete with invoice and thank you letter.  Best of all is the technical support.  They addressed my needs promptly.  I was able to have both email and telephone contact with people I could understand and not someone overseas with a heavy accent and limited knowledge of the software.  They are the ultimate in customer support."
