Turning site walks into finished reports

Photo, note, action, report. SiteWalk8 records the walk as you do it, with your fields and your drawings, so the report is finished before you leave site.

The Walk

001sitewalk8

Drawing-anchored capture, built for the person holding the phone on site.

Every note carries a photograph, a timestamp, your own data fields and a pin on the plan. Nothing gets re-typed at the desk.

One walk in. Three different documents out.

The shutter opens a note. Your fields sit underneath it. The plan takes the pin. The report assembles itself as you go, then goes out under your logo.

Three Jobs

002use cases

The walk is always the same. The fields you carry and the report you hand over are not.

That's why one app covers a safety inspection, a pre-defit condition survey and an estimating take-off without becoming three apps.

The Process

003how it runs

Four steps. Setup happens once per site, and the last step is a button.

After setup it's camera, voice and thumb: the three things that still work when the other hand is holding a torch.

A worker dictating a site note into SiteWalk8 on a stripped commercial floor.

Walk process

Step 1: Set the site up

Address, access, and the drawing set.

Type the address or pick it from lookup, give it a friendly name, note how you get in and who to call. Then upload the PDF drawing set, or just photograph the plans taped to the wall. Pages render on the device, so the plan is there whether the signal is or not.

Step 2: Build your data fields

The app learns the words you already use.

Photos and a note are always there. Add whatever this job needs: Room, Level, Area, Asset, Condition, Defect type, as text, number or choice, in the order you'll actually fill them. Start from six presets, rename anything, reorder at any time, and add a field mid-walk without losing what you've captured.

Step 3: Walk and capture

The shutter is the start of the note.

No "create record, attach media, save". Shoot it and the note exists, dated, placed, with your fields waiting underneath. Dictate into any of them. Drop the note as a pin exactly where you found it. If something needs the office, raise a question and keep walking; the answer comes back against the note.

Step 4: Generate the report

The document your customer actually reads.

Notes in walk order or grouped your way: by level, by room, by severity. Photographs attached to the findings they belong to, open questions and actions listed with an owner against each, your logo on the cover. Ready before you head off site.

Questions & Answers

006faq

Plain answers to the things trades ask before they'll put an app on a site.

Anything not here? Ask us directly. We'd rather have the conversation than write more copy.

Does it work with no signal?

Yes. Photos, notes, data fields and drawing pins are all captured on the device, and PDF drawing pages are rendered on the device too, so basements, lift shafts and regional sites are fine. Everything syncs when you're back in range.

Can the report go out under our own branding?

That's the point of it. Reports carry your business's logo and details. Your customer sees a document from you.

How do drawings get in?

Upload a PDF drawing set, already split into pages, or photograph the plans taped to the wall. Either way you can pinch, pan and drop pins where you found something, and the pins carry straight through to the report.

Do I have to set the fields up every single time?

No. Fields are set once per site and every note on that site carries them. If you run the same kind of walk repeatedly, save the set as a template and load it on the next job. You can also add a field mid-walk without losing what you've captured.

iPhone or Android? Phone or tablet?

All four. The phone and tablet interfaces were designed side by side rather than one stretched from the other, so the tablet uses its extra room properly: bigger drawing view, more note detail on screen at once.

Is this only for safety inspections?

No. That's one of three jobs it's built around. The same capture engine runs safety walks, pre-construction and dilapidation surveys ahead of a defit, demo or refit, and estimating walks that feed internal pricing and client quotations. What changes between them is the data fields you carry and the report that comes out.

Do I need the rest of Refit8 to use it?

No. SiteWalk8 works completely on its own. If you already use Refit8, it sits on the same account and the data you capture on a walk flows straight into it.

What does early access actually mean?

v0.1 is in field trial now. Early access means you get it on your sites before general release, you help shape what gets built next, and you help set the pricing rather than being handed it.

Still have questions?Every trade runs its walks differently. Tell us how yours run and we'll tell you straight whether this fits.

Talking is faster than typing with gloves on, and far faster than remembering. Dictate into any field: the note, the access instructions, a question for the office. Then keep moving.
