Field Communication App for Teams — Share, Tag, and Track

Chats and photo threads weren’t built for jobsite coordination. A field communication app gives crews one place to share updates, tag photos and issues, and track work without digging through texts. Here’s how WorkFotos helps field teams communicate clearly—and finish faster.

What is a field communication app?

A field communication app (also called a jobsite communication app or construction field app) centralizes messages, photos, and tasks for crews working on sites, routes, or facilities. Instead of using separate tools for chat, photos, and reporting, teams:

  • Share real-time updates with photos and short notes.
  • Tag people, trades, or areas so nothing gets missed.
  • Track issues and tasks from report to resolution.
  • Export clean summaries for clients, GCs, and managers.
Result: fewer miscommunications, faster approvals, and a reliable history of who did what—and when.

Core features for field team communication

Channels by project or area

Keep conversations organized by site, building, floor, or trade. No more “Did anyone see that photo?” chaos.

Photo-first updates

Snap and share progress, punch items, or safety issues. Tag the area, trade, or person responsible.

Mentions & tags

@Mention people or add #tags (e.g., #electrical, #rooftop) to route updates instantly.

Tasks & status

Convert posts into tasks with owners and due dates. Track Open → In Progress → Done without leaving the thread.

Read-only sharing

Send a clean link with photos and notes to clients or inspectors so they can review without joining your workspace.

Mobile + offline

iOS/Android apps for spotty sites. Capture offline and sync when you’re back online.
