✅ Creating Proof of Work Documentation
Professional workflow for contractors and field technicians to document completed work with verifiable GPS evidence.
Plan Your Documentation
Before starting work, decide what angles and aspects need documentation. Common shots include: overview of work area, close-ups of specific work, materials used, before state (if applicable), and after state with GPS overlay.
Tip: Create a checklist for consistent documentation across all jobs.
Capture Before Images (Optional)
If documenting a transformation or repair, capture "before" images with GPS overlay showing the initial state. This establishes baseline conditions at the verified location.
Tip: Include enough context in the frame to show the surrounding area for location verification.
Document Work in Progress
During critical stages, capture images showing the work process. This can be valuable for warranty issues or to demonstrate proper procedures were followed.
Tip: Capture images showing product labels, model numbers, or materials used for complete documentation.
Capture Completion Photos
Upon completion, capture comprehensive after images with GPS overlay. Ensure the timestamp, coordinates, and address are clearly visible. Frame shots to show the completed work clearly.
Tip: Take multiple angles of completed work - wide shots for context, close-ups for detail.
Verify GPS Data Visibility
Before leaving the job site, review each image to confirm the GPS overlay is clearly readable. Check that coordinates match the job site address and timestamp shows correct completion time.
Tip: The GPS overlay should be on a contrasting background for best readability. Adjust overlay position if needed.
Create Before/After Comparison
Use the comparison tool to create side-by-side or slider comparisons of before/after states. This visual proof is powerful for client satisfaction and dispute resolution.
Tip: Save screenshots of the comparison view for inclusion in invoices or reports.
Organize and Store Images
Download all images and organize them in a folder structure: by client, job date, or project name. Include GPS-tagged images in your job completion documentation.
Tip: Create a naming convention like "ClientName_Date_JobType_BeforeAfter.png" for easy retrieval.
Share with Clients
Send GPS-tagged images to clients as proof of completion. The embedded location data provides verification that work was performed at their location on the specified date/time.
Tip: Include a brief explanation that GPS data is embedded for authenticity and cannot be altered.
