TaskTag vs CompanyCam: The Ultimate Pre-Job Readiness Checklist for Builders

TaskTag vs CompanyCam - The Ultimate Pre-Job Readiness Checklist for Builders

Why photos alone won't cut it and how TaskTag turns proof into action.

If you’re using CompanyCam, you’re halfway there. It’s hands-down the best tool for jobsite photos: timestamped, geolocated, and crystal clear.

But let’s be real: a photo of a missing dumpster doesn’t get one delivered.

Why Jobsite Photos Alone Aren’t Enough for Readiness

How TaskTag’s Pre-Job Readiness Workflow Keeps Your Site on TrackWhat usually happens:

  1. Your super snaps a photo of a missing porta-potty.
  2. It uploads to CompanyCam.
  3. You scramble—text the vendor, call the site lead, email the GC.
  4. There’s no thread, no checklist, no accountability.

Result:

  • Crews show up to a half-ready site.
  • You waste hours chasing updates.
  • No one knows who dropped the ball.

CompanyCam proves what’s wrong.
TaskTag ensures it gets fixed.
