Step-by-Step Workflow

Final Walkthrough Photos for Flooring

1

Trigger Photo Protocol on Job Completion

When installer marks job status as 'Ready for Walkthrough' in FSM system, automatically send mobile notification with room-by-room photo checklist tailored to the specific flooring types installed (hardwood, LVP, tile, carpet). Checklist includes required angles: wide room shots, seam details, transitions, corner work, and any special features.

2

Guided Mobile Photo Capture

Installer follows on-screen prompts to photograph each room using standardized angles and lighting guidelines. App overlays previous template photos to ensure consistent positioning. System automatically embeds metadata including GPS coordinates, timestamp, installer name, material lot numbers, and job ID into each image file.

3

Automatic Image Processing and Organization

As photos upload, AI-powered system automatically categorizes images by room name, flooring type, and documentation category (overview, detail, transition, issue). Analyzes images for quality issues like blur, poor lighting, or insufficient coverage, prompting retakes if needed. Organizes into project folder structure linked to job record.

4

Generate Professional Completion Report

System automatically compiles photos into branded completion report including before-and-after comparisons, installation specifications, material details, warranty information, and care instructions. Adds project summary, square footage totals, and installer sign-off. Generates both high-resolution PDF and web gallery versions.

5

Client Delivery and Approval Request

Automatically email client with personalized message containing secure link to photo gallery and completion report. Email includes approval button for final sign-off and care instruction video links. System tracks email opens, gallery views, and approval status. Sends reminder if no response within 24 hours.

6

Archive Documentation and Update Job Status

Upon client approval, system automatically archives all images and reports to cloud storage with 7-year retention. Updates job status to 'Completed - Documented' in FSM, triggers final invoice generation, and adds project to marketing portfolio queue for review. Notifies accounting team that project documentation is complete.

7

Quality Analytics and Portfolio Building

System aggregates walkthrough data to track documentation compliance rates by installer, identify common quality issues by material type, and flag projects with outstanding approvals. Automatically selects best before-and-after photos for marketing portfolio based on image quality scores and project completion ratings.
