## Quality you can close, one issue at a time.

### The challenge

NVR builds homes under the Ryan Homes, NVHomes and Heartland Homes brands in 36 metropolitan areas across 16 states and Washington, D.C., and promises every customer a 100% complete home. That promise was held back by a quality assurance process that ran on photos, scattered notes and project managers acting as the go-between for every party. Reports took longer than the inspection itself, and vendors had little reason to use the tools they were given.

### The build

Clipboard, an enterprise QA app that works offline on iOS and Android. It began as a discovery and planning sprint that produced a product vision, a high-fidelity prototype and a roadmap, and grew into a long-running product partnership. Teams capture issues with photos and structured fields for location, category and subcategory, assign them to vendors with due dates, talk inside the issue, and review quality trends by product, vendor and project.

## The result

NVR's teams work from structured data instead of photos and phone calls. Issues have an owner and a due date, vendors and managers see the same record, and the trend view helps the company catch quality problems before they reach the homebuyer.

## Project images

* *The Drafts screen with two saved inspections, each showing its item count and a Continue button.*
* *The Inspection screen with an empty list of items and a Submit button.*
* *The Add Item screen with fields for a photo, description, location and category.*
* *The Location picker listing rooms such as attic, basement, crawl space and dining room.*
* *The Add Item screen filled in with a photo of an exterior brick issue.*
* *The Inspection screen listing a mortar issue under Exterior and a drain issue under Kitchen, with a Submit button.*

## Questions about this project

### What is NVR Clipboard?

Clipboard is an internal quality assurance app Shockoe built for NVR, the parent company of Ryan Homes, NVHomes and Heartland Homes. Teams use it to document home quality issues, assign them to vendors, and track them until they are closed.

### Who uses Clipboard?

Project managers, field staff and vendors. Each works from the same issue, so questions and updates stay in one place instead of passing through a project manager.

### Does Clipboard work offline and on both iOS and Android?

Yes. It is an enterprise app that works offline and runs on both iOS and Android, so teams can log issues on a job site without a connection.

### What does Clipboard track?

Issues with photos, location, category and subcategory, plus task assignment, vendor selection and due dates. Trend analysis shows quality by product, by vendor and by project management.
