Befar Work Cam makes site inspections easy – from the first photo to a signed offer. Open the app, tap New inspection, and the camera starts with a new job.

Tap one to keep taking photos, or open the job page for notes, drawings and details. Camera, photos, calendar and map are one tap away. JOB PAGE Photos, notes, drawings and measurements collected per job and room. Draw arrows and measurements right on the photo, add a note to each photo, and drag to reorder. OFFERS AND CUSTOMER LINKS Share the inspection as PDF, ZIP or a customer link. The customer link opens without signing in and can show photos with drawings and measurements, products with prices and your own terms.
