Sidelight Get early access

One record, from booking to report.

Sidelight runs the booking page, agreement, deposit, work order and offline field capture for home inspectors, kept together as one record per job. It opens to home inspection firms soon, and property managers are next.

  • Ticked: included when Sidelight opens.
  • Empty: not built yet, coming next or later.

Sidelight is opening to home inspection firms first. Leave your email and we will be in touch. Nothing is signed up, charged or shared.

Confirmed means signed and paid.

A client picks a time on your booking page and the slot is held while they finish. The booking is confirmed only when the agreement is signed and the deposit has arrived. Until both are true, the record says what is missing, and the slot goes back on the calendar if the hold runs out.

Sample record. Not a real booking.

Your brand on your page
Clients book on your own address, such as book.yourfirm.com, with your name at the top. Sidelight is a small credit at the foot of the page.
Deposits through Stripe
Deposits are collected with Stripe Checkout before the slot is confirmed, so the office never chases a deposit by phone. Until live payments are switched on, deposits run in Stripe's test mode and no card is charged.
Prices that do not drift
The price, deposit and balance a client sees are stored with the booking, so the office and the work order show the same numbers.

The office sees every job.

Sidelight Pro, the signed-in workspace for the firm, lists bookings and work orders for the whole office. Inspectors see the jobs assigned to them. Anything that needs a person, such as a deposit that arrived after a hold expired, is flagged for the office instead of being fixed quietly.

Sample record. Addresses are invented.

Nothing captured is lost.

Sidelight Field, the phone app, saves every note and photo on the device before it says saved, then uploads when there is signal. Original photos are kept byte for byte and checked on arrival. One device edits an inspection at a time, and a handoff is recorded.

LOCALSaved on the phone
Written to the device first, in a basement or an attic with no signal.
UPLOADINGSent when there is signal
Uploads go in order when the connection returns, and are designed to pick up again after the app restarts.
SYNCEDChecked on arrival
The server has checked each photo against its fingerprint.
FAILEDShown, never hidden
A failed upload shows its reason and a retry button.

What opens first, and what comes next.

Sidelight opens to home inspection firms with the whole path from booking to the field. Client reports follow, then tools for property managers.

One company, three doors.

A sidelight is the narrow window beside a front door. It lets you look before you commit. Sidelight starts here, with inspectors and property managers. The same door, frame and sill will open more doors later.
