Krank Inspeq Powering AI Equipment Inspections
The construction industry is no stranger to challenges when it comes to equipment inspections. Traditionally, these processes have been laborious, inconsistent, and costly, often requiring specialised inspectors for high-value machinery.
However, Krank is shaking things up with the launch of Inspeq, its next-generation, AI-powered inspection app, now available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Designed to simplify and streamline equipment inspections, Inspeq is set to transform how dealers, rental companies, and equipment traders conduct and document inspections across diverse asset types.
The Problem with Traditional Equipment Inspections
For years, equipment inspections have been plagued by inefficiencies. With no universal industry standard, many companies rely on outdated, manual processes that are not only time-consuming but also prone to inconsistencies. These inspections often require highly trained specialists, which means only high-value machines receive detailed reports, leaving lower-cost assets with inadequate documentation.
To put it bluntly, the current system is riddled with bottlenecks. The lack of a flexible, scalable solution has long been a pain point for industry professionals—until now. Inspeq changes the game by introducing a user-friendly, highly adaptable tool that caters to a wide range of machinery, ensuring that all equipment, regardless of value, gets a thorough and reliable inspection.
An AI-Driven Solution Designed for the Industry
Krank’s Business Development Director, Joaquim Leal, encapsulates the industry’s struggles: “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.”
Unlike conventional inspection methods, Inspeq is a flexible, next-generation platform that enables users to conduct in-depth equipment assessments without the need for specialist training. Driven by extensive customer feedback, Krank developed Inspeq to meet a clear market demand.
Mark Turner, CEO of Krank, highlights the importance of this innovation: “Customers consistently asked for a lightweight and flexible inspection tool, so we developed Inspeq—a solution that streamlines the inspection process and utilises NextGen AI technology so users can spend less time on paperwork and more time on what matters.”
By integrating AI-powered automation, Inspeq not only simplifies inspections but also increases efficiency, making it easier for businesses to maintain comprehensive records of their assets without the usual administrative headaches.
What Sets Inspeq Apart?
Krank’s Inspeq is built with adaptability at its core, offering a robust suite of features that make equipment inspections smarter, faster, and more reliable.
Key features include:
- Over 30 Pre-Built Inspection Templates: Covering a broad range of machinery, from motor graders to crawler cranes.
- AI-Powered Voice Transcription: Automates data entry, allowing users to dictate findings in real-time, reducing reliance on manual input.
- High-Resolution Imagery & 360-Degree Walkarounds: Enables users to capture detailed visual documentation of equipment conditions.
- Offline Functionality: Ensures inspections can be conducted in remote areas without requiring an active internet connection.
- Full Customisation Options: Future updates will allow users to tailor inspections for specific asset types, ensuring an even more tailored experience.
Unlike traditional methods, which require written notes and manual data processing, Inspeq’s AI-driven approach eliminates inefficiencies, allowing for real-time data capture, automated transcription, and rapid report generation.
Enhancing Transparency and Trust in Equipment Transactions
One of the standout benefits of Inspeq is its ability to improve trust in the equipment marketplace. Whether buying or selling, the condition of a machine is critical—yet physical inspections, especially for international transactions, can be logistically challenging and costly.
By offering a digital-first approach, Inspeq democratizes the inspection process, ensuring that all equipment receives thorough assessments. This shift increases transparency in transactions, providing both buyers and sellers with high-quality, verifiable reports at the touch of a button.
“Our unique configurator enables us to customise each customer’s database to suit their specific asset types—excavators, cranes, skid steers, trucks—whatever,” explains Mark Turner.
This adaptability ensures that businesses can maintain accurate, detailed records of their equipment, helping to reduce disputes, improve asset valuation, and streamline resale processes.
Getting Started with Inspeq
Inspeq is now available for download on both iOS and Android, as well as on desktop platforms. The free version includes ready-to-use report templates and allows users to complete up to five AI-powered inspections before needing to upgrade.
For businesses that require more extensive usage, Krank Enterprise subscriptions unlock additional features, enabling unlimited inspections, deeper customisation, and enhanced reporting functionalities.
For those interested in exploring the future of smart inspections, the app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store here and from the Google Play Store.
A Smarter Future for Equipment Inspections
With its AI-powered capabilities, Inspeq marks a turning point for the equipment inspection industry. By eliminating inefficiencies, enhancing data accuracy, and offering greater flexibility, Krank has created a solution that benefits dealers, rental firms, and machinery traders alike.
As the industry moves toward more digitised solutions, innovations like Inspeq are paving the way for greater efficiency, transparency, and smarter asset management. One thing’s for sure—manual, time-consuming inspections are becoming a thing of the past.
