Record the day where it happens, signal or not. Deliveries, crews, inspections, incidents and delays, photos you can draw on, and updates from the subs who were on site when you were not.
One log a day on each job. Pick what happened and the form asks for what matters: a delivery records the count, an inspection records the result, a delay records how long it ran.
A basement, a canyon lot, a metal building. The crew records the delivery and photographs the work, and the day uploads itself once the phone finds service.
Photo documentation comes with the log instead of a second app billed by the seat. The crew photographs the work while they record it, marks up the picture to show what they mean, and writes a note underneath. Video works the same way, and every shot lands in the project's photo library without anyone uploading it twice.
Send one contact a link by email, text, in-app, push, or Slack. It opens in their browser with no account, no app, and no password, and what they send back waits for your approval.
A foreman walks the work with the camera running and says what happened. It comes back as text you can read in English, with the words they actually said kept underneath.
Publish a day and the client sees that date in their portal. The entries you keep internal stay internal, on the same day.
A month view colors every day by what it holds and tells you how many working days actually have a log. When someone needs the record, export a day or a range as a PDF.
The daily log features builders ask about, starting with updates from people who do not work for you.
