For anyone in the inventory reporting game, the latest feature update from Inventory Hive promises to deliver substantial time savings.
‘Smart Fill’ allows users to automatically populate differentiated conditions and levels of cleanliness of a property from a library of over 3,400 descriptors.
The updated version will now also incorporate existing describing options and auto-fill text, enabling users to combine pre-populated text with their own notes, making editing and copying text much easier, alongside the new and improved interface.
Quick capture solution
“Given the critical importance of cleanliness and condition details in deposit dispute resolution, this user-friendly feature helps inventory assessors quickly capture essential information,” said Richard Abbots, CEO at Inventory Hive.
“These changes come directly from our user suggestions. Their input is central to ongoing development. It’s always our goal to give our users the greatest advantage in the industry, and we’re confident this latest update will continue to do that.”
Previewing capabilities have also been improved in the update. Users can now view the entire list of items along with their corresponding condition and cleanliness ratings in a single list and jump straight to items for quick edits. This feature allows for quick access to full report previews, facilitating a comprehensive view of a room or property without needing to switch between screens.
Easing end of tenancy process
Sandy Bastin, Head of Adjudication services at TDS commented: “When dealing with end of tenancy deposit deduction proposals, the level of detail contained within check-in and check-out reports is key.
“The added ‘Smart-Fill’ feature should assist with ensuring condition reports are completed, providing adequate and more detailed descriptions that properly reflect the cleanliness and condition of the property.
“Greater detail increases the chances of the parties being able to agree proposed deductions at the end of a tenancy, without the need for adjudication, and is beneficial at the point of adjudication. This additional feature works well in conjunction with the tenant’s ability to comment on the reports findings.”
