Why clearing and grading contractors look for a CompanyCam alternative

Photos are critical, but clearing and grading work needs more than a camera roll. Crews also need job-based timecards, daily logs, production notes, and material tracking tied to the job. When photos live alone, the office still has to reconstruct the story of the day.

Photos without context cause rework

A photo is useful, but it is far more useful when tied to what happened that day, progress notes, weather impacts, and job changes.

Time still needs a job home

Payroll and job costing still need job-based timecards. If time is managed elsewhere, the job record becomes scattered.

Materials decide the margin

Stone, pipe, fabric, trucking loads, and fuel costs add up fast. If material usage is not captured daily per job, you lose margin quietly.
