TruTec is the all-in-one platform for paving and exterior contractors — takeoffs, estimates, jobs, scheduling, and site documentation in one place. The TruTec mobile app puts your field work in your pocket: • Job-site photos, fast — a continuous capture camera that shoots as fast as you can walk a property. Tag and label photos as you go; shots upload in the background and wait out weak signal instead of failing. • GPS + compass stamping — every photo is pinned to the map where it was taken, so office and field always see the same site. • Jobs on the go — look up any job, check its status and history, and create new jobs from the truck. • Field crew tools — schedules, work orders, checklists, clock-ins, and job-site chat for crews. • Client-ready documentation — photos flow into branded reports, before/after timelines, and share links your customers can open with one tap. TruTec accounts are provisioned for contracting teams. Ask your workspace owner for an invite, or visit trutec.ai to schedule a demo.
