Field-to-office automation for contractors: daily reports, T&M tickets and change orders that reach the office while the week is still the week

It has to, so offline is the starting assumption, not a feature bolted on later. Everything a super enters is stored on the device and syncs when signal returns. The record stamps the time of work, not the time of upload. That distinction matters: a photo that says 4pm Tuesday is evidence, and one that says 9am Thursday when it uploaded is an argument waiting to happen.

Fair, and most field software earns that reaction. It replaces work rather than adding it. If a super fills in the daily report, the timecard and the T&M ticket stop being three separate jobs that get done twice. Capture works offline and in gloves, and it asks for what your crews already write down, not for a new set of fields somebody in the office wanted. If your crews still won't use it after the audit, we'll tell you so.

To the depth your account exposes, and we confirm that during the audit rather than promising it on a call. Procore runs a developer programme and a marketplace, Buildertrend publishes an API, and Sage, Foundation and Viewpoint each have their own routes, some gated by plan or partner status. Where the access stops, we build a reviewed queue your office accepts with one click rather than retyping.

No. It drafts the change order from the T&M ticket and the related RFI, attaches the photos and the backup, and puts it in front of your PM. A person approves the number and a person sends it. That's a design rule we write down before the build rather than a setting somebody can flip afterwards, and every automated touch is logged so an owner's rep can read what happened and when.

Yes, and often it lands faster. Your version of the gap is getting the T&M ticket signed before the crew leaves, and getting your hours into job cost before the GC's schedule moves. You also push the same job into several GC portals with different rules, which is its own retyping problem, and that one is worth mapping in the audit.

It depends what your phone is. For a residential or remodel contractor the line is your front door, and the trades work on the plumbing side covers it properly. For a general contractor or a sub, the calls are owner's reps, architects, subs chasing payment and suppliers confirming deliveries, so what helps is intake that books the site visit or bid walk and routes everything else. Anything about money or scope reaches a person.

We won't quote a range before seeing the problem. That number would be a guess, and you'd hold us to it. What we can tell you is the shape. The audit is one project and one month. The diagnostic gives you a fixed price, not an estimate that moves. We build against your real projects and real tickets, never a demo dataset. You can stop after any stage.
