Home and Commercial Inspection Report Software

VANGUARD  v.27

Home and Commercial Inspection Report Software
New for 2026. Our biggest update ever!

VANGUARD Key Benefits
● The fastest photo insertion in the inspection industry! Lightning fast Photo Insertion! Insert photos in bulk. It takes literally only a few seconds to add a few, dozens, or even hundreds of photos.
● Photos can be added with two, three, or four photos on a row. Select any number of Photos and the photos will be added to your report with the number of photos on each row that you have selected. For example, if you select three photos to a row and  insert 30 photos, all at once, Vanguard will put your photos on 10 rows with three on each row. If you selected four photos to a row, you would have seven rows of four photos and one row with two photos.
● Automatically add Caption Fields below each photo. When you insert photos, you now have the choice of either having Caption Fields under each photo of no Caption Fields. When you insert photos they will insert exactly as described above, but if you chose the With Captions option, each individual photo will have a Caption Field directly under it.
