travels farther than explanation

Lens video
Lens is a video layer for walkarounds, repair explanations, and customer-facing proof. It is one of the clearest ways Home Base can feel different from a generic shop system.

Why it matters
Video makes the explanation harder to lose and easier to trust.
That turns Lens into proof infrastructure, not just a media feature.
Flow
Video turns trust into something visible. It helps the shop explain repairs with more confidence than text alone.
Capture walkarounds, repair explanations, and condition updates from the floor without a separate media workflow.
Uploads, thumbnails, captions, and playback are handled in the background so the team stays focused on the work.
Customer-safe share links give the front desk a cleaner way to explain what is happening and why it matters.
Use-case framing
That keeps it grounded in shop outcomes instead of turning it into a standalone media feature.
Show the actual issue while the estimate conversation is still active.
Keep customers informed without asking the shop to type long explanations repeatedly.
Use the final delivery moment to reinforce confidence in the shop.
