Questions
Things people ask
Does the app work offline if the job site has poor service?
The mobile interface can store data locally when cellular service is unavailable. The app syncs the daily log to the cloud once the device reconnects to a reliable network.
Can we automatically pull weather data into the daily log?
Yes. The app integrates with external weather APIs to automatically populate temperature, precipitation, and wind conditions based on the geographic location of the job site.
How does the general contractor receive the daily reports?
The application generates a PDF document at the end of the shift. It then automatically emails this file using a delivery service like SendGrid to a predefined list of project managers and general contractors.
Can foremen upload photos directly from their phones?
Foremen can take photos using their mobile device camera and upload them straight into the daily log. The application attaches these images to the final PDF report.
Is it possible to track specific equipment and material deliveries?
The log includes dedicated sections for equipment tracking and deliveries. Foremen can select equipment from a dropdown list and type in details about materials received that day.
Where are the historical daily logs stored?
All submitted logs are saved in a central database like PostgreSQL, with the actual PDF files stored securely via Amazon S3. Office staff can access this database via a web portal to search and download past reports.
Can we customize the PDF layout to match our company branding?
We design the PDF template to include your company logo and preferred layout. The generated reports match your standard company documents and formatting requirements.
