Overview

Scrub Ducts Report Generator – One-Click “Before & After” PDF Builder. Scrub Ducts is a regional cleaning company that documents every job with before-and-after photos to prove service quality and satisfy insurance auditors. Building those reports by hand was slow and inconsistent.

Apps By TAP built a .NET MAUI app that turns a job’s photos and details into a polished, branded PDF in minutes—cutting report preparation time by 90% and getting invoices out faster.

The Challenge

  • Manual report creation: Reports were assembled in Word or Excel, taking 60–75 minutes per job and delaying invoices.
  • Inconsistent branding and formatting: Reports looked different from technician to technician.
  • Photo handling overload: Each project produced 20–80 images that needed resizing and captions.

Our Approach

Cross-platform MAUI app

A single .NET MAUI app runs on Windows and Android today and is ready for iOS, so the same tool works in the office and in the field.

Smart data capture

Checkboxes for each service (air duct, dryer vent, hood) capture what was done, so every report includes the right sections without retyping.

Drag-and-drop photo loader

Technicians bulk-select images and the app auto-rotates and compresses them, removing the most tedious part of the old process.

PDFsharp engine

The PDFsharp engine generates a branded, paginated report in under 10 seconds: cover page, job summary, side-by-side before and after grids, and technician signature.

Technology Stack

  • C# and .NET MAUI – one codebase for Windows and Android. See our mobile apps and desktop software services.
  • XAML – a clean, touch-friendly interface.
  • PDFsharp – fast, fully branded PDF generation with no third-party report service.

Results & Impact

  • Reports are produced in under 7 minutes instead of more than an hour.
  • 90% less report preparation time for technicians.
  • Faster, polished reports translate to quicker client sign-off, faster invoicing and higher perceived professionalism.

The Report Generator works alongside the ScrubDucts.com website and the AI SMS booking assistant we built for the same client.
