CompanyCam is a strong choice for jobsite photo documentation. SimplySub is focused on daily framing execution, job-based timecards, logs, photos, and materials per job.

Why framing contractors look for a CompanyCam alternative

Photo tools are important, but they do not solve daily jobsite capture. Framing crews still need job-based timecards, clean daily logs, progress photos, and material tracking tied to the job. That is why many contractors keep a photo documentation tool for proof and sharing, and add a jobsite-first system like SimplySub for daily execution.

Time still needs a clean home

Photos do not replace job-based timecards. Framing crews still need clean hours per job to keep payroll and job costing inputs accurate.

Daily logs protect the story of the day

Weather, inspections, schedule changes, and rework impact production. A simple daily log keeps the record straight for the office and for the GC.

Materials decide your margin

Lumber, sheathing, hangers, fasteners, and rentals add up fast. If material usage is not logged per job, margin disappears quietly. SimplySub makes material logs part of the daily routine.
