Synhelm as a CompanyCam alternative.
CompanyCam is a well-known photo documentation app for contractors. In Synhelm, jobsite photos are one part of a single app for the job, next to the crew's hours, safety sheets, drawings, estimates and invoices.
Search, filter by job or type, and pick a date range.
Two different starting points
CompanyCam starts from the photo: capturing and organizing jobsite pictures by project and sharing them.
Synhelm starts from the job. Photos land on it, and so do the hours, the safety sheets, the plans and the paper, so you don't need a separate app for each.
What Synhelm puts next to your photos
Crew add photos from the job they're clocked in to, several at a time. The same job shows who worked, for how long, which safety sheets were signed, the current drawings, and what's been invoiced.
What Synhelm does
Jobsite photos
On the job and client file, with types, filters and who took them.

Blueprint reader

Client updatesPro
Progress and the latest photos, plus a private progress page.
Who it's for: Contractors who use a photo app today and also pay for separate time-tracking and invoicing tools.
Which one fits your shop?
CompanyCam may fit better if…
- Photos are the main thing you need, and you want a tool dedicated to them
- Your time tracking and invoicing already work well elsewhere
Synhelm may fit better if…
- You want photos next to the crew's hours, safety sheets and drawings
- You'd rather pay for one app than a photo app, a time app and an invoicing app
- You send estimates and invoices from the same place the job lives
