CompanyCam Review, Pricing & Features

What is CompanyCam?

CompanyCam is a jobsite management tool that enables real-time photo documentation of job sites, renovations, and more. The platform was designed for contractors who need to document their job sites. All photos and notes are cloud-based from the point of capture and data are organized by date, time, and location.

The application allows contractors to take unlimited cloud-based photos across different projects. CompanyCam integrates with popular field service management tools like Housecall Pro, meaning that you can seamlessly transfer your data across applications relevant to your service business.

CompanyCam Review Summary

CompanyCam was founded by Luke Hansen in 2015. The aim of the application is to ease a main pain point for contractors, which is that photos are usually locally stored and jumbled on a personal phone. CompanyCam automates the photo documentation process from the point of capture to storage. With CompanyCam, you’ll create different projects and take photos that will be assigned to each project. You can annotate and adjust photos, as well as share photo reports with collaborators and clients.

CompanyCam is industry-agnostic, meaning that contractors within a variety of industries can use the tool. The company recommends that the tool is helpful to all except for contractors who are working for extended periods of time—a year or longer—at just one job site.

When we tested both the desktop and mobile versions, we found that photos were uploaded instantly to the dashboard. We were able to annotate photos easily, and the interface is very intuitive to use.

Overall, CompanyCam is an extremely valuable tool that organizes photos for contractors who work at many different job sites. Because images upload in real-time and are stored so strategically, contractors will be able to sort through projects almost instantly. This product isn’t recommended for those who work at one site for extended periods of time.

This dashboard makes it extremely intuitive to navigate through the tool. Along with the tabs on the left, you’ll be able to filter through all sections to narrow down your choices if you’d like to see specific items only.

The main purpose of CompanyCam is to capture and store photos of your job sites. You can take photos with your mobile app and they’ll upload to your projects instantly. As you can see in the image below, you can create projects and take photos for projects easily with the mobile application.

You’ll be able to see photos in their assigned projects or in chronological order in the Photo Feed, where all photos will be displayed based on the times they were taken.

Photo Information

As a contractor, it’s important to keep diligent time-stamped documentation to show proof of progress, before and after images, and liability protection. All CompanyCam photos and videos have time stamps, location stamps, and will show which user took the photo. Images and videos also have geotags.

Sorting Through Photos

CompanyCam customers can sort through photos by image size, or by seeing newest first or oldest first. Photos can also be filtered by:

  • Photos or videos
  • Start date
  • End date
  • Project
  • Users
  • Groups
  • Tags

Editing Photos

CompanyCam allows a variety of editing options for your photos. You can zoom in or out, add tags, comment, add descriptions, tag collaborators, and more.

More annotation and editing options include:

  • Add time stamp
  • Add stickers
  • Draw lines
  • Add text
  • Edit brightness, contrast, and saturation

Collaborators

As a contractor, you’ll want to add your teammates and collaborating companies to your projects on CompanyCam. This allows for full transparency and teamwork, and means that multiple people can upload photos for the same project.

While collaborators can be invited to your projects, you can still limit what they see by creating custom permissions for each collaborator. This ensures that they can only see what is relevant to their work.

Reports

The reports feature in CompanyCam pulls everything from a project together into a PDF template. These reports can be used in the middle or at the ends of projects to deliver a visual timeline of project progression.

Integrations

CompanyCam integrates with key applications both within and outside of the field service management field. Some of these important integrations include:

Connecting CompanyCam with your CRM or other field service management tools makes it even smoother to transfer data across your applications.

Additional Features

Before and After OverlayTo share even more vivid before and after photos, you can pull up a ghost overlay of the “before” photo to put on top of the “after” photo. You can also put your logo on photos.
Unlimited PhotosAs a customer, you co-own all photos that are uploaded with CompanyCam. The photos will never delete after a certain period of time, so you’ll never have to worry that photos will disappear.

Is CompanyCam Right For You?

CompanyCam is a highly functional and well-designed photo capture tool that helps contractors organize photos for their various projects.
