On-Site Job Photos and Annotation for Tradies
Snap site photos against the job, not buried in your camera roll. Draw arrows, mark damage, note dimensions — straight from the phone.
Or try it on the web →Site photos win disputes. They protect you when a customer changes their story about what was there before, they prove you did what you quoted, and they fast-track the quote on every similar job after this one. The problem is that a photo on your camera roll, with no caption and no job attached, is roughly as useful as no photo at all. QuoteMate attaches photos to the job, with annotation built in, so they're actually findable a year later.
Photos attached to the job, not the camera roll
When you open a job in QuoteMate, the photos tab is where every site shot lives. Take a new photo from the app and it lands against the job automatically — customer, address, date, and the stage the job was in when you took it. Existing photos can be imported from your camera roll if you took them before opening the app. The thumbnail strip on the job header shows the most recent shots at a glance, so the moment you turn up to a job you can scroll back through the photos you took during quoting without digging through 4,000 unrelated shots.
Annotation for damage, dimensions, and notes
Tap a photo to open the annotation editor. Draw arrows pointing at the cracked tile, circle the section of fence that needs replacing, write the dimension on the photo itself instead of scribbling it on a notepad you'll lose. Annotations save as a new image so the original stays untouched. For damage assessments and insurance work this is the difference between a clear paper trail and a follow-up phone call asking 'where was that crack again?' The annotation tools cover arrows, circles, freehand, and text — nothing fancier than that, because anything more is a distraction on a tradie's day.
Before-and-after photos that sell the next job
Every completed job in QuoteMate keeps its photos in one place. When you're quoting the next similar job, you can pull up the before-and-after photos from the last one and show the customer exactly what they'll get. That's the single most effective close in residential trade work. Some tradies post them publicly (with the customer's consent) on a portfolio gallery — QuoteMate can export photo bundles per job for that purpose. Either way, the photos earn their keep long after the job is done.
