The Status Quo at Matthews

Site visits were disjointed and
every report turned into a scavenger hunt

Before SiteMarker, Matthews’ field teams relied on a patchwork of phone cameras, handwritten notes, and spreadsheets to document site visits. Nothing was connected — photos had no location context, observations lived in separate tools, and pulling it all together into a report meant hours of office work after every visit.

📍

No location context

Photos and notes had no geolocation — nothing tied observations back to where they were captured on the plans.

📷

Disconnected photos

Photos in camera rolls, notes in notebooks, context in someone’s head — nothing linked together.

⏳

2+ hours per report

Field notes, photos, and observations had to be manually assembled back at the office.

📨

Delayed distribution

Stakeholders waited days for reports that should have been available same-day.

Then Matthews discovered SiteMarker

What if the report
wrote itself on-site?

Matthews replaced their patchwork of tools with SiteMarker — a field-first platform that ties location, documentation, and reporting into a single flow.

01

Locate

Geo-locate yourself on-site and walk on top of construction drawings in real time.

02

Document

Drop pins with photos, notes, and action items — creating a defensible record of work done.

03

Report

Generate polished daily or weekly reports from your pins in a few taps. No office time required.

04

Take Action

Assign and track punchlist items, approvals, and safety issues with stakeholders in real time.

This changed the game for Matthews

Within weeks, every site walk and
report ran through SiteMarker

Matthews didn’t need a change management plan. The team picked it up on their first visit, and by the end of the month, SiteMarker was the default for every active project across the firm.

SiteMarker has been a big help in generating, sharing, and managing construction punchlists. The software is user-friendly, and the time it takes to generate updated and final reports has halved.

It’s looking pretty speedy compared to what we’re doing now. And the cool thing is that, if someone’s out in the field, you need to set this up. Do that over lunch...
