The Challenge

Guardian recognized the need to streamline its inspection processes and automate image verification in order to enhance quality control, increase actionable data, and standardize their operations.

To achieve these goals, Guardian sought a AI & technology partner capable of adhering to their established definitions (e.g. what is Guardian’s definition of “Occupancy”), and delivering advanced AI-based Computer Vision models to improve upon their existing methods. Furthermore, they prioritized a partner with Real Estate industry expertise to ensure seamless integration with the inspector workflow.

The Solution

After exploring partnerships with other technology providers, FoxyAI emerged as the ideal technology partner. With its deep understanding of the Real Estate industry and advanced Computer Vision capabilities, FoxyAI brought a unique set of capabilities to the table.

By employing a combination of FoxyAI’s General, Exterior, Interior, Damage, and Renovation & Repair Models in both the front and back-end of their inspection process, Guardian was able to:

Enhance Quality Control

FoxyAI’s Computer Vision models accurately validate occupancy, identify property damage, and pinpoint necessary repairs—all while remaining aligned with Guardian’s strict definitions. As a result, the speed and quality of this process were improved.

Significantly Reduce Timelines and Cost

Guardian reduced time spent on quality control efforts and eliminated the time-consuming task of inspector callbacks by leveraging FoxyAI’s models to analyze property images. This streamlined process resulted in substantial time and cost savings, freeing up valuable resources for other critical tasks.

Overcome Processing Limitations

By utilizing FoxyAI’s Computer Vision models, Guardian successfully mitigated the inherent constraints associated with manual image verification—allowing them to process more than 7.5 million inspector photos on a monthly basis.

Standardize Operations

FoxyAI’s models empowered Guardian to establish standardized operations throughout their property management procedures. From consistent image labeling to precise scene and room identification, the models ensured a unified approach to occupancy detection and property damage assessment, enhancing overall operational consistency.

FoxyAI’s Computer Vision models revolutionized Guardian’s inspection processes, delivering a drastic 50% reduction in time and saving millions of dollars.
