Handover in 15 minutes – on your smartphone

Instead of writing a 90-minute handwritten protocol, you photograph each room – CIRO automatically recognises condition, materials and defects and fills out the protocol for you. You review, add your own notes, and the tenant signs directly on the screen. The finished PDF lands immediately in both sides' files – no follow-up work at your desk.

Smartphone-based handover with AI auto-detection of condition and defects
Handover protocol audit-proof with photo, timestamp and digital signature

Audit-proof documentation

Every photo is timestamped, the tenant signs directly on the screen, the protocol is stored audit-proof in both sides' files. When the deposit dispute comes up three years later, you have every defect with photo, date and signature ready – instead of a faded photocopy from a binder.

How your handovers change

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The law doesn't prescribe a specific form for handover protocols – what counts is documented, verifiable evidence of the property's condition. CIRO stores each signature with timestamp, device and IP address, alongside photos and notes. In a dispute you have a complete record of when, where and by whom something was documented and confirmed.

You can complete the protocol unilaterally, add your signature and send it by email. CIRO documents the delivery including a timestamp. You still have a solid record of the property's condition at the handover moment, even without a counter-signature.

The AI evaluates your photos and proposes an initial assessment – type of damage, affected area, relevance for the protocol. It doesn't replace an expert opinion, but it saves you the routine descriptions and keeps the wording consistent. You can correct or discard every suggestion before saving – you stay the decider.

Yes. Once you record a meter reading in the handover protocol it's in the system with date and property – at the next utility billing it's automatically used as the opening or closing value. You don't have to enter it twice, so a transfer error between protocol and bill simply can't happen.

Yes. The CIRO app works offline – photos, text and meter readings are saved locally, and as soon as you're online CIRO syncs everything into your account automatically. Handy in basements or older buildings without WiFi: you stay productive, your tenant doesn't wait, and nothing gets lost.
