Already using a defect inspection app? Switching to Defiq Inspect is easy
If your firm already captures defects in another app, the jump can feel heavier than it is. You worry about retraining inspectors, recreating cover pages, rebuilding room lists, and interrupting next week’s vacant possession (VP) jobs in Malaysia or Singapore.
That worry is normal. It is also usually overstated.
You do not need a big-bang cutover. Keep the current tool for jobs already in flight. Try Defiq Inspect on one unit. Cover and area layouts are set once in the web admin portal — not a weeks-long migration. If you want a human walkthrough, message us on WhatsApp.

Why switching feels harder than it is
Inspectors often stay on a tool they are not happy with because the switching cost looks larger than the daily pain: evenings in Word, weak client PDFs, or a camera that dies when the tower has no signal. See why inspection companies choose Defiq Inspect if you are still comparing capabilities.
With Defiq Inspect you do not import years of old photos. New jobs start clean. Historical reports stay in the old app until you choose to stop using it. That is the simplest way to avoid business disruption.
Try it first — two low-risk paths
These are not the same product. Pick the one that matches how you want to test.
| Path | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Free Trial | 3 units/month, capture + branded PDF | Prove capture → PDF on a real site visit |
| Starter first month | 60 units/month, first month free, no credit card via pricing | Run a normal month of jobs before you pay |
Start Free Trial from the website: app.defiq.app/login (use the same Google account later on iPhone or Android). Compare Starter, Professional, and Business on pricing.
Cover page and area layouts — set once, then inspect
You do not rebuild your whole report by hand for every unit. Setup is convenient; inspectors should not panic that moving over will freeze the calendar.
Day one (any plan)
Create a project, pick a built-in room list (high-rise or landed presets), claim areas, and shoot. The Defiq MVP report already includes a cover, photo grids or sequential registers, legends, and the usual handover pages. Walk-through: how it works · first project.
Your own look (Professional+ admin portal)
On app.defiq.app, an admin sets templates once. Field capture stays on the phone.
- Cover page — Templates → Report design → Cover. Pick a preset or free canvas, save. Tutorial: edit the report cover.
- Area layouts — Templates → Area layouts. Edit the room list once (Foyer, Living, Master bedroom…), apply it to units before site. Tutorial: set up area layouts.
That is configuration, not a data-centre move. Office staff adjust branding on the laptop; inspectors keep the sticky room-and-issue capture they need on site.
A simple parallel-run plan
- Finish this week’s jobs in the app you already have.
- Run one Defiq unit in parallel (Free Trial is enough for that).
- Generate a client PDF and compare it to what you ship today — sample report.
- When you are ready for a team, invite colleagues on Professional — add team members.
You are not forced to flip a switch on Monday morning. Come across when the PDF, capture speed, and support feel right.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to migrate all my old inspection photos?
No. Keep historical jobs in the app you already use. Start new units in Defiq Inspect. There is no requirement to import years of camera-roll or third-party archives before you try a live vacant possession job.
Will switching disrupt this week’s site visits?
It should not. Run Defiq Inspect in parallel on one unit while you finish in-flight jobs in your current tool. Cover and area layouts are set once in the web admin portal; inspectors keep capturing on the phone.
How do I try Defiq Inspect without paying first?
Use Free Trial (3 units per month) from app.defiq.app/login, or start Starter with the first month free and no card on pricing. The two paths are different — Free Trial is not the same as Starter.
Is the cover page and room list hard to set up?
No. Built-in high-rise and landed area presets let you inspect on day one. On Professional and above, an admin sets the PDF cover under Templates → Report design → Cover and room lists under Templates → Area layouts on app.defiq.app.
Can someone walk me through the switch?
Yes. Message WhatsApp +65 8137 8867, email support@defiq.app, or use Contact. Say you already use another inspection app.
