Bring your Materio projects to the job site. Check a plan, pull up a product detail, document an issue, or share installation instructions without heading back to your desk. Built for interior design and construction teams, Materio’s mobile app is the on-site companion to Materio on the web. Bring your project information with you and capture what happens on-site, even when there’s no reception. Find the details you need. View your project scope, floor plans, product information, boards, photos, and attachments. Locate an item on a plan with a tap, and move easily between plans and boards. Be ready, even without a signal. Download the projects you need before you leave. Product data, plans, board images, product photos, and attachments stay available offline. Comments and field notes you submit while offline sync automatically when you reconnect. Capture what’s happening on-site. Create a field note from a photo, mark it up, and add written details. Save a draft to finish later or send it when you’re ready. Leave comments as you walk the project, while the details are still fresh. Get information to the right people. Share photos from field notes and product attachments, including installation manuals, with your contacts. Send a floor plan to your contractor as an image, without annotations. Use Materio on the web to build and manage your projects. Take the details with you on mobile. New to Materio? Visit our website to learn more and get started. https://materio.co
