How Arno works

A guided inspection flow that captures complete photo documentation before the customer arrives.

Seller flow

1

Receive SMS

Seller receives a text with their inspection link. No app needed.

2

Start inspection

Tap the link, grant camera access, begin.

3

Follow prompts

Each prompt shows the angle and framing required. Overlays guide positioning.

Quality checks review each photo. Failures get specific retake guidance.

5

Submit packet

All photos pass checks, seller submits. Average: 8 minutes.
