Why businesses switch
Why inspectors switch from HomeGauge to Calisto
One record from the booking to the books
The booking or the accepted quote, the agreement, the payment, the capture, the report, the invoice and the accounting sit on one inspection record.
Your client's home stays on Calisto's servers
Dictation and photo drafts run on Calisto's own AI, and every draft is a suggestion the inspector confirms.
Every country's standard, every currency
Starter standards for many countries, and each record keeps its own currency.
Capture with no signal
Rooms, photos, readings and findings are held on the phone and sent when it reconnects.
One report, on the web and as a PDF
The web report and the PDF come from one renderer, so they never disagree.
Utilization and profit per inspector
A firm sees each inspector's utilization and profitability with no extra product.

Questions about switching
Which standards can I inspect to?
Calisto ships starter standards for residential, commercial and ancillary work in many countries, each written in Calisto's own words within that standard's scope. A starter follows its standard; you can change every item, and add your own.
Who decides when the report is released?
You do. The default holds the report until it is published, the agreement is signed and the fee is paid in full, and you can change those conditions per service or release a report by hand.
Does the report go to anyone but my client?
No. On release the report goes to your client only. Your client decides who else sees it, and can take that access away again.
