Thanex
Read full descriptionHide full description
Thanex is a construction photo app that files every site photo by project and tags as you take it, with who, when and where saved alongside. When someone asks for a report, filter your photos and share a PDF anyone can open. Photos filed as you take them Choose your project, pick a record type such as Progress, Quality or Snagging, and add tags like Plot 14, Kitchen and First fix. Then take the photo as you normally would. It goes straight into the right project and stays out of your personal camera roll. PDF reports from any set of photos Select the photos you need, choose how many go on each page and add a comment or action to any photo. Thanex groups them by tags and date, even when they were taken weeks apart, and the report shows the same area changing day by day. Send progress reports, inspection reports and snag lists by email, WhatsApp or however you share files. Nobody needs a Thanex account to open them, and every report stays in the Reports tab, ready to send again. The details saved with every photo Every photo taken in Thanex keeps the name of the person who took it, their organisation, the project, the date and time, the GPS location and a unique photo ID. Add a note when a photo needs explaining. Show the details as a stamp on the photo, or keep a clean image with everything still saved in Thanex. Find any photo again Filter by date, record type, person or tags, or search the notes you've added. Choose more than one tag at once to pull up a whole floor, or every photo of a riser across several visits. Photos from outside your team Send a task link to a supplier, client or subcontractor and they can upload photos straight to your project without creating an account. Photos taken in the Thanex camera are marked Captured with Thanex, and photos sent through a link are labelled Uploaded to task. You'll always know how each one arrived. One record for the whole team Invite colleagues and subcontractors to a shared workspace where everyone picks from the same project tags, set by your admin. You'll get a notification when new photos arrive, with who took them and where they've been filed. Company photos stay in the workspace when someone leaves, and Business plans have no user limit. Keep taking photos without signal Take and tag photos in basements, plant rooms or anywhere the signal drops. They upload once you're back online. Thanex Web for the office Open your projects on a computer to find and download photos, see photo activity across every project and create PDF reports. If a project or area hasn't had any new photos for 7 days, Thanex flags it. Site evidence in the same app Keep Part L, NHBC stage, fire stopping and quality photos with the rest of your site photos, filed by plot, level or stage and ready to report for your assessor or building control. Made for anyone who takes site photos for work Contractors, subcontractors, housebuilders, tradespeople and site teams use Thanex to keep a dated record of their work. Your company doesn't need to use Thanex for you to start your own projects. Plans The free plan includes one live project, PDF reports and Thanex Web. Paid plans add more live projects and team features, and they're monthly subscriptions bought through your App Store account. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your account settings.

ProofWorks โ Photo Evidence Made Simple ProofWorks is a simple, professional way for tradespeople, contractors and site teams to capture, organise and present photographic proof of completed work. Instead of job photos getting lost in camera rolls, WhatsApp chats or folders, ProofWorks keeps your evidence organised against the correct project and turns it into a professional Proof of Works report. Built for people working on site, ProofWorks keeps the process simple: select the job, take your photos, add any relevant details and generate your report. CAPTURE PROOF ON SITE Use the built-in ProofWorks camera to capture evidence directly against a project. Take multiple photos in one session without having to repeatedly leave and reopen the camera. Photos captured through ProofWorks can record useful evidence including the capture date, time and location information. KEEP EVERY JOB ORGANISED Create projects for individual jobs and keep all associated photographic evidence together. Quickly see which projects are still in progress and which have had a Proof of Works report created. BEFORE, DURING & AFTER Categorise evidence to clearly show different stages of the work, including Before, Defect, During, After and Completed. Add captions, job details and notes where additional context is needed. PROFESSIONAL PROOF OF WORKS REPORTS Turn your site evidence into a professional branded PDF report. ProofWorks automatically organises the relevant photographs and project information into a clear report that can be previewed, saved and shared with customers, contractors or other stakeholders. Add your company branding and details so the finished report represents your business โ not ours. BUILT FOR TEAMS Invite members of your team and keep project evidence within one company workspace. Engineers can capture evidence while on site, while office staff and management can access projects and produce reports without relying on photos being sent back manually. CUSTOMERS & PROJECTS IN ONE PLACE Keep customer information, site addresses, projects, evidence and reports connected, making it easier to find the history of work carried out for each customer. EVIDENCE YOU CAN RELY ON ProofWorks is designed around maintaining a clear record of your photographic evidence. Capture information is kept separate from later captions, categories and report presentation, helping preserve the original evidence record. Whether you're documenting installations, maintenance, repairs, inspections, defects or completed works, ProofWorks gives you a simple way to prove what was done, where it was done and when. Capture it. Prove it. Report it.
