The End of Sticky Notes: How TaskTag Checklists Keep Field Work On Track

Why Verbal Instructions Don’t Cut It Anymore

Let’s be real—giving instructions over the phone or scribbling notes on a whiteboard might work for a day, but over time, it leads to:

• Missed steps
• Miscommunication
• Inconsistent execution

When you're managing multiple job sites, subcontractors, or unit turnovers, you need a smarter system—one that’s:

• ✅ Mobile-friendly
• ✅ Repeatable
• ✅ Trackable
• ✅ Visible to everyone

That system is TaskTag Checklists.

What Are TaskTag Checklists?

TaskTag Checklists let you break down any task into clear, step-by-step actions—so your crews never miss a step.

You can:

• Add checklists to any task
• Assign the entire task or individual checklist items
• Track progress in real time
• Require sign-offs or photo uploads for accountability

It’s like giving your field team a digital SOP—embedded inside every task.

Real-World Scenario: Daily Site Walkthrough

Old Way:
A supervisor walks the site, tracks 6 open issues mentally, forgets 2, and texts updates to multiple people.

TaskTag Way:
You create a task called:

“Daily Walkthrough – Dec 10”

Then, add this checklist:

• Inspect scaffolding
• Check PPE compliance
• Verify tool lock-up
• Review safety signage
• Snap photos of any violations

Assign to: Site Lead
Requirement: Photo upload for each item

Result:

• Full visibility
• Digital proof
• Zero guesswork
• A complete inspection record stored in one place
