How it works
Each day, the foreman or lead on a job opens the daily log entry from the mobile app. Weather pulls automatically based on the jobsite location — no typing. The foreman taps in the crew count, taps a few short bullets in "Work completed today," notes any blockers ("waiting on inspector — Friday earliest"), and the next-day plan ("rough-in continues, plumbing sub arrives 9am").
Photos attach in the same flow — the foreman pulls 3-5 progress shots from the camera roll, tags each with a category (Progress, Issue, Material), and the log is done. Total time: about 60 seconds when the foreman is on a roll. The log is permanent and tied to the job from then on.
On the office side, the project manager sees an aggregated dashboard: all jobs, today's log status (filed/missing), and recent entries. Missing logs surface as flags. The dashboard makes it visible at a glance whether your crew is documenting like they're supposed to, without having to ask anyone.
Who it's built for
General contractors
Daily logs are the difference between getting paid and losing a dispute. GCs running multiple subs use logs as the contemporaneous record of what each trade did, when.
Roofers
Weather-pulled logs document exactly why a crew came off the roof at 1pm when storms rolled in — your defense if a homeowner challenges billed hours.
Concrete contractors
A photo trail at every phase (sub-grade, forms, rebar, pre-pour, finish) is your defense for the next decade against warranty claims and insurance disputes.
Remodelers
Client-visible logs let homeowners see daily progress without seeing every issue. The client gets the clean version; you keep internal notes private.
Insurance restoration
Logs and photos are the documentation adjusters want to see. Auto-organized by job means no scrambling when the claim file is requested.
Subcontractors
Daily logs are evidence of work performed when the GC drags out payment. Permanent, timestamped, photo-attached.
Why it matters
Daily logs are the single most underutilized tool in contracting. The shops that keep them religiously win disputes; the shops that don't lose them. When a homeowner three months later says "you took eight days to do something we agreed would take three," the daily log is the evidence that breaks the standoff. Without it, the contractor is arguing from memory — and the courts won't care about memory.
Insurance carriers and OSHA investigators want contemporaneous records. A daily log written the day of the work is dramatically stronger evidence than a reconstruction filed six weeks later. Adjusters know the difference. Plaintiff's attorneys know the difference. Make the log a 60-second habit and you have an arsenal you never have to build under pressure.
And the operational value compounds. Six months from now you're bidding a similar job and you can pull up the daily logs from the last one — crew count, weather impact, blockers, supplier issues. The patterns become obvious. Your estimating gets sharper because your historical record is real instead of fuzzy.
CompanyCam covers photos. Vexor covers everything.
CompanyCam organizes job photos but stops there. If the photos are part of a daily log with weather, crew, and work completed — and you also want quoting, scheduling, time, and invoicing — Vexor replaces the stack.
