๐Ÿ“ธ Job Photos, Docs & Field Collaboration

Photos are evidence, marketing, and training all at once, and camera rolls destroy all three. Documentation platforms capture photos against a job rather than a date, tag and annotate them, keep a time-stamped record you can hand an insurer or a homeowner, and share a clean gallery instead of a 40MB text thread. The same category covers plans and markups, signed forms, as-built notes, and the 3D or measured capture tools that increasingly replace a second site visit.

Before you buy in this category

  • Photos must be organised by job automatically. Any workflow that relies on filing later will not survive.
  • Check unlimited storage claims and what happens to old projects if you downgrade.
  • Time stamps and GPS metadata are what make documentation defensible in a dispute.
  • Sharing should be a link a homeowner can open without an account.
  • If it integrates with your job management tool, photos stop being a separate habit โ€” strongly prefer that.
