L'application dédiée aux artisans et maîtres d'ouvrage : Ne perdez plus de temps à lire des comptes-rendus ! Les remarques de vos maîtres d’oeuvre se retrouvent au sein d’une seule application plutôt que perdues dans une suite d’emails. Les artisans et entreprises du chantier seront ravis de regrouper et gérer leurs tâches au sein d'une même application mobile. De leur côté, les maîtres d'ouvrage seront rassurés de pouvoir suivre l'avancée du chantier depuis leur téléphone. Vos maîtres d'oeuvres utilisant Archireport peuvent maintenant diffuser leurs remarques directement sur votre application Archireport Live. Vous pourrez lister, consulter, et valider les remarques qui vous concernent, depuis le chantier. Vous pourrez même envoyer une photo et une description à votre maître d'oeuvre lorsqu'une tâche est terminée. Vous pouvez aussi consulter facilement les documents nécessaires à la réalisation de vos tâches. Attention : Pour utiliser Archireport Live, il faut impérativement qu'un utilisateur de Archireport (l'application de suivi de chantier), vous ait partagé des remarques.

The application is developed in-house to integrate seamlessly with our instruments, with responsive technical support provided by our teams. Download the app and bring your Saugnac gauges to life.
