Launched in April 2017 by Ben Prouty, Shepper provides individuals and businesses all over the world as a means to check on distant properties or assets through a network of Shepherds, mostly retirees and students, who are paid to take photographs and file reports.
It is used by a range of small and large business to check on all types of property and assets on a regular basis as well as providing basic tasks.
The app has already 3,000 shepherds in London, Paris, and Sydney.
