Automating survey reports - from inspection to delivery
Trim Surveys gives marine surveyors a structured, repeatable way to run vessel inspections – record observations via guided sections, upload photo evidence in the field, record voice notes for later transcribing, and most importantly generate professional PDF reports for your customers at the push of a button.
How it works
Four straightforward steps, from setting up your surveyor profile to delivering the finished report.
Set up your account
Add your surveyor details and logo once — they appear on every report.
Create a survey
Enter the vessel and client particulars, then choose the vessel type.
Record observations
Work through each inspection section, adding notes, photos and recommendations.
Export the report
Print or export a professional PDF report, or share a link with your client.
New for Version 2.0
We’ve given the application a full overhaul, redesigning the user interface making it more intuitive. We’ve also included:
- A searchable database of over 3000 vessel makes and models to choose from, and the power to autofill vessel statistics from online data sources.
- Record voice memos in the field directly against an observation for review back at the office
- A search of current price listings for matching vessels to help with suggested valuations
- An updated PDF report format with traffic light recommendations
