XL Pro Platinum Suite is the most powerful Home and Commercial inspection report and Report Design System ever.

XL Pro Platinum Suite is a powerful and comprehensive MS Office based reporting system for professional home and commercial inspectors built with one of the most popular programming languages ever, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).  XL Pro Platinum Suite expands the power and flexibility of Microsoft Office in ways you probably never knew were possible by adding an entirely new home inspection component to Office that uses Excel as its primary interface. By integrating the home inspection component into Office, you have the best of both worlds, a very powerful inspection report system with the unparalleled power of Office. 

Six Applications

XL Pro Platinum Suite is four complete report systems, an Inspection Database, and the Sweet Home 3D drawing program.  First there is the powerful XL Pro HomeTrex version 9.0.  XL Pro Platinum Suite also includes MasterCheckList Pro, a separate report system that is ideal for investment and commercial properties.  The Inspection Database is a MS Access Database (Access is not required) that will track all your inspection job information such as client names and phone numbers and

XL Pro Platinum Suite allows you to do a report that is entirely checklist based, entirely narrative, or any combination.  XL Pro Platinum Suite is 100% Texas and  North Carolina compliant.  It also has full support for the ICC International Property Maintenance Code.  XL Pro is also the first inspection report system also to give you a choice of placing photographs in the individual sections or together in a photo section. 

When you clients see your XL Pro Platinum Suite generated reports, they will have the impression that their building type is your specialty because the report will be tailored to that specific building type.

XL Pro Titanium Edition is a powerful and comprehensive MS Office based reporting system for professional home and commercial inspectors built with one of the most popular programming languages ever, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).  XL Pro Titanium Edition expands the power and flexibility of Microsoft Office  in ways you probably never knew were possible by adding an entirely new home inspection component to Office that uses Excel as its primary interface.   By integrating the home inspection component into Office, you have the best of both worlds, a very powerful inspection report system with the unparalleled power of Office. 

Whether you are doing pre-purchase home inspections, new construction, or commercial building inspections, XL Pro Titanium can create the report you need.  Created by inspectors for inspectors, it is no wonder that the XL Pro Series reports are among the industry's most popular reports.

Titanium Edition is better than ever with the new version 9.0.

Here's what's new in Titanium Edition 9

	Category Assignment Tool Previously only available in XL Pro Platinum Edition, Titanium Edition now includes the powerful Category assignment tool (The CAT™).
	Symbols and Icons Library Previously only available in XL Pro Platinum Edition, Titanium Edition now includes the Library of 56 Symbols and Icons that you can use anywhere in your report.  The symbols and Icons can be used in place of checkmarks or X's, they can be used to highlight text, or they can be used to annotate photos.
	Report Templates Creating Inspection Report Templates is faster and easier than ever before.  The New "Save as Report Template" button saves your newly created template with a name and description that you assign.
	New Command Bars XL Pro Titanium has expanded its Command Bars to bring all its powerful report functions to the forefront.  The Command Bars are available to you at all times wherever you are in the report and whatever you are doing.
	Updated Job Information Form The new Job Information Form makes setting up a new inspection report easier than ever.
	Auto-summary Previously only available in high-end inspection report software, Titanium Edition now includes the Total Control Summary generator.  Tag a comment for inclusion in the Summary and TCS will take you to the Summary page where you select exactly where you want the comment to appear.  All you do is click a the OK button and your comment will be in the Summary.  You will instantly return to where you were working.  No other Auto-summary gives you the power and flexibility of Titanium Edition's TCS Auto-summary feature.
	Omission Guard Missing something on an inspection is one of the biggest fears of most inspectors.  Three out of four inspectors go home or to the office to complete their reports.  The main reason cited for not doing inspection reports on-site is a fear of missing something.  Titanium Edition's Omission Guard makes it almost impossible to miss anything.  Every comment field is highlighted in RED until a check box indicating "Inspected", "Not inspected" or "Not present" is checked.  That's not all.  If you accidentally check two conflicting checkboxes such as "Inspected" and "Not inspected", the comment field for that item will also be highlighted in RED. Omission Guard also fills any fields marked as "Not present" with light gray shading making it easier for you to complete the report and easier for the the home buyer to read it.
	Rapid Page Fill There are times when you inspect a room or a system and everything is OK, there are no defects or deficiencies to report.   There may be times when an entire system is not present.  In such cases, you want to be able to complete the page related to that system or room as quickly as possible. Titanium Edition's new Rapid Page Fill allows you to check all check boxes in a column with a single click of the mouse.  Click the Rapid Fill checkbox once to place a checkmark in all checkboxes, click it a second time and it will fill all the boxes with an X, click it again to clear all the checkboxes.
	Windows Vista and Office 2007 Ready XL Pro Titanium Edition version 8 now works with any edition of Windows XP or Vista and any edition of Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007.  Office 2007 has features and options not available in Office 2003.  We have an Office 2007 optimized version available at no additional charge .

The BestInspectors.Net XL Pro Series of Inspection Reports generate an unlimited number of plain paper or PDF reports.  Unlike other computer based systems, this report does not require special preprinted forms.  It is suitable for use in the field on a laptop, notebook, tablet PC or UMPC.  It can be printed in your office and completed in the field on plain paper.  There are no subscription fees, per copy fees, or any hidden fees of any kind. The report is customizable with the inspector's name or company name.
