After the paper sheet: Zeus keeps the job itself (photos, notes and the record of what was done) on your phone, signal or not.
Where Zeus comes in
Print the sheet today. Stop filing it next month.
Every checklist here is free and always will be. What a printed sheet cannot do is come back: it has to be photographed, filed, and found again when a client asks what you checked. Zeus runs the same inspection on your phone and keeps it against the address: findings, photos and the PDF report, with or without signal.
Start free, no card
Free plan, no card. Inspections and your own checklists are on the free plan.
