When site communication scatters across WhatsApp, calls, and texts
Messages get lost, the wrong people are in loops, and critical information disappears in personal chat threads.
The wrong group members
Subcontractors added to personal WhatsApp groups. When they leave the project, they still see every message — or worse, they've left the group and miss critical updates.
Lost in the scroll
"Where was that photo of the defect?" Buried somewhere between jokes, weekend plans, and three other site conversations. No link to the task, the report, or the site.
Endless call tennis
Calling mobile numbers one by one to get a quick answer. Half the team doesn't pick up, and you've lost 20 minutes before you get the information you need.
No audit trail
Personal messaging apps leave no company record. When a dispute arises, you can't prove what was said, when, or to whom.
Site chat: everyone, all the context
Every site has its own dedicated chat, visible only to assigned members. Messages stay attached to the project — no personal phone numbers, no lost threads.
Automatic site conversations
Each site gets a dedicated chat from creation. All site members can read and send messages — no manual setup, no invites to manage.
- Real-time delivery on web and mobile
- Membership syncs with site assignments
- Completed sites archived, searchable, not cluttering the list
Rich media & voice messages
Send photos from the gallery or camera, attach PDFs, Word docs, or record voice messages on mobile — all visible inline with clickable previews.
- Image thumbnails, document icons with file names
- Voice messages with automatic transcription (mobile)
- One tap to download or open attachments
Read receipts & delivery status
See who's read your message and when. Tap "Seen by X/Y" to view the full list, with pending readers highlighted — crucial for time-sensitive instructions.
- Real-time read indicators (✓✓ grey → ✓✓ blue)
- Detailed "Seen by" modal with timestamps
- Works offline: last-known status shown
Private conversations & groups
Direct 1-to-1 or group chats between colleagues (internal only, not subcontractors). Separate workspace conversations from site threads.
- Create named groups for recurring teams
- Add participants to existing group chats
- Accessible from the Messaging menu
Automatic task notifications
When a task is created, modified, or completed in the site planning, an automatic message appears in the site chat with task details, deadline, and assignee — visually distinct so the team knows it's system-generated.
Integrated voice & video calls
Reach any colleague instantly from the app — voice or video over internet, no phone numbers to dial. Full call history, automatic recording, and optional transcription.
Voice calls
Tap the phone icon next to any colleague's name to start an instant voice call — no need to remember mobile numbers or switch apps.
Video calls
Show a defect in real time or walk someone through an issue on site — tap the camera icon to switch to video instantly.
Call history
Every call logged with duration, direction (in/out), and status. Filter by incoming, outgoing, or missed — never lose track of who called when.

When call connects
Automatic transcription
Calls can be transcribed to text after they end. Preview snippets appear directly in the call history — useful for reviewing technical discussions without replaying audio.
Company-only, audit-ready
Only colleagues within your own company can be called. Full call records stay on the platform — no personal numbers mixed in, no lost evidence if disputes arise.
Technical requirements
- Business plan subscription required
- Internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data)
- Microphone permission (camera for video)
- Notifications enabled (recommended for incoming calls)
Calls use ~1 MB/min (voice) or ~5–10 MB/min (video). Use Wi-Fi when possible to preserve mobile data.
