Krank Launches INSPE, an Online Solution for Equipment Inspections

Krank has launched Inspeq, a groundbreaking app designed to streamline and enhance the equipment inspection process in the construction industry. This app addresses the longstanding challenge of developing a flexible and efficient tool that is customizable to diverse asset classes, providing a comprehensive solution for dealers, rental companies, and equipment traders.

The current approach to equipment inspection is time-consuming, complicated, and costly, as well as lacking industry standards. The complexity of doing it well often necessitates specialist inspectors, which in turn results in detailed reports being reserved for high-value machine sales. Inspeq addresses these challenges by offering a customizable easy-to-use inspection process suitable for various equipment types within the construction sector.

"The industry has struggled to create an effective inspection tool that accommodates diverse asset classes, but now Inspeq provides a user-friendly, adaptable solution that simplifies the process while ensuring high-quality, consistent results," said Joaquim Leal, business development director at Krank.

Driven by extensive customer feedback, Inspeq was developed to fill a significant market gap. "Customers consistently asked for a lightweight and flexible inspection tool, so we developed Inspeq - a solution that streamlines the inspection process and utilizes advanced AI technology so users can spend less time on paperwork and more time on what matters," said Mark Turner, CEO of Krank.

In the first iteration of the app, Inspeq offers more than 30 detailed inspection templates, for machines ranging from motor graders to crawler cranes. Future releases of the app will offer extensive customization, enabling users to adapt the inspection process for specific asset types. This adaptability ensures efficiency, reducing the time and complexity traditionally associated with equipment inspections. The app is accessible on iOS, Android, and desktop platforms and supports offline use.

It features advanced tools such as high-resolution photographs, 360-degree video walk-arounds and well as voice notes, additional photos, and text annotations.

Follow the on-screen prompts

The app also provides a unique AI-powered voice transcription module that streamlines inspections by eliminating manual data entry. Whether it’s logging hour meter details or evaluating paintwork, users can simply follow on-screen prompts to identify components needing attention. Inspeq then automatically captures verbal reports in real time, using transcriptions of the user’s voice directly through their phone. With the aid of AI, Inspeq significantly reduces the time required to produce detailed inspection reports, making the entire process faster, smarter, and more efficient.

The app aims to enhance credibility and quality assurance in the buying and selling process, particularly for international transactions where physical inspections can be prohibitively time-consuming and expensive. By democratizing the inspection process, Inspeq allows for thorough inspections on all machines, not just high-value ones, improving transparency and trust in equipment transactions.

Turner said, "Our unique configurator enables us to customize each customer's database to suit their specific asset types – excavators, cranes, skid steers, trucks - whatever.”

Inspeq is now available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, and is compatible with smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. For a limited time only, users can perform up to five AI-powered reports for free via the app, they can then subscribe to complete additional inspections with their own Krank Enterprise account.
