Moving Over From HomeGauge? How to Import Your HomeGauge Templates Directly into SwiftReporter

General

If you’ve been thinking about moving over from HomeGauge to a faster, modern home inspection software, we just eliminated the biggest hurdle: rebuilding your templates.

We know that switching home inspection software usually means leaving behind years of carefully crafted narratives and custom layouts. Recently, an inspector reached out wanting to make the switch, but didn’t want to lose their massive HomeGauge comment library.

So, we went ahead and built a dedicated tool for it.

We are excited to announce our new HomeGauge Template Import feature. You can now take your existing HomeGauge template files and port them directly into SwiftReporter in a matter of seconds.

What Does the HomeGauge Importer Do?

Our importer automatically takes your .ht5 file and converts all of your hard work into the SwiftReporter format. This means you don’t have to start from scratch. The tool automatically carries over your:

  • Sections and Subsections

  • Inspection Items

  • Selection Menus

  • Info Notes

  • Full custom comment libraries and narratives

How to Import Your HomeGauge Template into SwiftReporter

If you are ready to switch from HomeGauge, the process takes less than a minute. Here is how to do it:

  1. Log into your SwiftReporter dashboard.

  2. Navigate to Templates on the left-hand menu.

  3. Click the Create Template button.

  4. Select Import HomeGauge Template.

  5. Upload your .ht5 file.

The system will instantly parse your data and generate a fully editable SwiftReporter template, ready for your next inspection.

Know an Inspector Looking for a HomeGauge Alternative?

While our current SwiftReporter family might not need this feature, we know a lot of inspectors out there are actively looking for a faster, AI-powered alternative to legacy software.

If you have a colleague who has been hesitant about switching from HomeGauge to SwiftReporter because of their templates, let them know they can now bring their life’s work with them.

They can create a free account, upload their .ht5 template, and test drive the software today. If anyone runs into questions during the import process, just drop a reply below or hit up our support!
