How It Works

Three steps to better defect management

Getting started with Defectly takes minutes, not days.

1

Report the defect

Log the issue with a clear description, photos, and category. Defectly creates a unique reference and starts tracking immediately.

2

Assign and coordinate

Find the right contractor, assign the work or request quotes, and keep everyone updated through built-in messaging and notifications.

3

Resolve and verify

The contractor completes the work, submits evidence, and you verify the fix. Leave a review to help others find reliable trades.
