DomiSpect

What the platform does

• Sales, quotes and contracts Service requests, clients and geolocated properties; numbered quotes with GST/QST that the client accepts or declines from a public link, without an account; contracts with a frozen text, typed-name signature, consent checkbox, SHA-256 hash and timestamp, immutable once signed; a signed-contract gate before fieldwork, on by default.
• Inspection engine Standard packs, templates, sections and components copied into each inspection; typed findings, limitations and versioned observations; live or batch capture; mandate scope at section or component level, with scope conflicts blocking signature. The Québec residential pack follows the structure of BNQ 3009-500; a commercial pack structured on ASTM E2018-24 covers projects, buildings, condition ratings and cost ranges.
• Photos and evidence Capture and compression on the device, thumbnails, brightness and blur checks, duplicate detection by perceptual hash, non-destructive annotations (arrow, rectangle, ellipse, blur, text), a designated cover photo, and every photo attached to a section, a component or a finding.
• Domi, the AI assistant A contextual chat that proposes findings, statuses and limitations for the active section — applied only after the inspector confirms; photo analysis that drafts at most two findings from an image; rephrasing of a note or drafting of the executive summary; nameplate reading by on-device OCR with optional structuring of the extracted text. Monthly quotas per plan, a two-level cache and a per-call log with estimated cost.
• Offline field mode A snapshot of the open inspection, an idempotent queue of five mutation types (component status, new observation, photo upload, checklist close, deferred AI analysis), up to 300 MB of photos held locally, automatic resume with exponential backoff, and a signature that stays blocked until the queue is empty. The inspection must be opened before the signal is lost; sales and CRM remain online features.
• Pre-signature checks and sealed report Deterministic checks before signing: inspector identity, completed checklist, empty offline queue, scope conflicts, RBQ/REIBH gate and a server-side check of the BNQ structure. Sealing then follows a fixed order — hashed JSON snapshot, PDF composed on the server from that same snapshot with deterministic bytes, then the immutable signed version. Four renderings of the same report: screen, Letter print, PDF and client portal.
• Client portal, invoicing and payments A revocable portal link per inspection, valid 90 days, with view counter, web report, PDF and print; invoices with GST/QST tied to the inspection, quote and contract, numbered, immutable once paid, settled by online payment from a public link or marked manually, with overdue follow-up and transactional emails carrying the firm’s legal block.
• Teams and Québec compliance Multi-tenant organizations with seven cumulative roles, email invitations and a protected last owner; corrective actions with seven statuses, evidence and comments; company RBQ licence verification against Données Québec open data, inspector certificate tracking with the REIBH dates built in, E&O and liability insurance alerts, Law 25 registers (consents, access requests, incidents, retention policies) kept as records, and an audit log.

Architecture

Server-rendered React application with server functions, deployed as a PWA and wrapped in a native Android and iOS shell that loads the published application; PostgreSQL with row-level security enforced on every business table, on a database owned by the company and separate from the development platform, with distinct production and staging environments selected by host; email, OAuth and TOTP two-factor authentication; private media storage with short-lived signed URLs; an IndexedDB offline layer with a replayable mutation queue; PDF composition and AI calls on the server side; OCR running on the device; bilingual FR/EN dictionaries with a parity test; continuous integration with unit, end-to-end and cross-tenant isolation tests and a nightly read-only production smoke test.
