Mid-summer isn’t just about keeping up with current site conditions, it’s when facility teams start getting ahead of what’s coming next. Whether you're preparing for Q4 traffic, reviewing vendor scopes, or confirming brand rollouts, early fall prep depends on having the right eyes on the ground.
Here’s a look at the most common priorities we’ve been asked to verify across retail, restaurant, and service-based portfolios over the past several weeks:
ADA and Exterior Compliance
Before fall brings shorter daylight hours and weather shifts, many teams are using this window to close out compliance punch lists.
We've captured:
Missing or sun-faded ADA stall markings
Improperly mounted entrance signage
Curb ramps without visible contrast
Subtle details that are easy to overlook but critical to document and resolve while weather still permits.
Lighting and Signage Visibility
Exterior lighting becomes a bigger focus heading into late summer. We’ve completed evening verifications for:
Non-functioning wall packs and pole lights
Backlit signage not illuminating at dusk
Menu boards with full or partial outages
This helps ensure visibility, safety, and brand presence stay intact as daylight fades.
Pavement + Lot Condition
We’re seeing a surge in surface checks as teams prepare for upcoming repairs, restripes, or resurfacing. So far, we’ve flagged:
Active cracking and early pothole formation
Striping wear disrupting directional flow or ADA clarity
Standing water or signs of poor drainage
Curb damage and loose wheel stops
Reports are often used to prioritize projects ahead of winter or support bid review.
Brand Rollouts + Promotional Visibility
As fall campaigns launch, we’ve been supporting marketing and facilities teams by confirming:
Seasonal clings and signage installed to spec
Menu boards updated with new product info
Gondola resets completed at required locations
In-store merchandising aligned with planograms
Visual confirmation helps prevent brand inconsistencies from slipping through the cracks.
Grounds + Exterior Maintenance
Exterior upkeep plays a big role in perception, especially before seasonal foot traffic picks up. We’ve helped flag:
Overflowing dumpsters or missed waste hauls
Illegal dumping in loading or receiving areas
Overgrowth obstructing signage or walkways
Site damage or graffiti that hadn’t yet been reported
These are quick checks, but they go a long way in keeping locations guest-ready.
How ProxyPics Fits In
Fall prep usually means long hours and limited bandwidth. Site visits get pushed, vendors miss small details, and photos come in too late, or not at all. That’s where we come in.
ProxyPics is built to support facility teams by extending your visibility, not replacing your process. We verify the work you’ve assigned, the standards you’ve set, and the conditions you need to see without sending your team across the country or relying on vague third-party updates.
We work with your scope, your checklist, and your priorities. Whether you’re confirming ADA compliance, catching wear before it becomes a capital expense, or checking on rollout execution across multiple locations, we make sure each task gets done exactly the way you outlined it.
You control the scope: we follow it, down to the angle and shot list.
Photos are captured by background-checked proxies trained to spot what matters.
Our panel is truly available on demand - day, night, holidays. All we need is an address.
Reports come back organized, complete, and ready to drop into your next meeting.
It’s not about taking over, it’s about giving your team more eyes in the field, without the travel, delays, or gaps in documentation.
