Field Communication App for Teams
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.
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.
