The daily report list in Genba Tsuzuri, on a phone

The daily reality

Daily reports scattered across paper, Excel and email.

  • Writing takes too longBack from the site, the report is typed up in the office; photos move from the phone to the PC and get pasted in. The most tedious task is left for the end of the day.
  • Nobody can see the statusWas it sent? Has anyone looked at it? Does it need changes? An email thread does not tell you which stage a report is at.
  • Hard to find laterChecking what was done six months ago means digging through folders and mailboxes.

Pressing play connects to YouTube. Nothing is sent to YouTube before you do.

Main features

Shaped around how the work actually runs.

Designed so the people who use it every day are never in doubt, rather than for a long feature list.

  2. 02Head count counted for youThe number of workers for the day is counted from the named workers on the report. No bare numbers, no unnamed "others".
  3. 03From draft to client approvalDraft → internal review → client approval. The list shows which stage each report is at, and anything that needs work can be sent back as a change request.
  4. 04Who confirmed, and whenInternal and client confirmation each record up to three people. Every change of status is kept in the report's confirmation history.
  5. 05Forms exported as PDFExported in the standard drawing-frame layout, with an appendix carrying confirmation times and the status history.
  6. 06Your client can see it tooIssue a client account per project. Clients see and approve only the reports for the projects they have been given access to.

Screens

The actual screens, as they are.

These are live screens. The company names, project names and people shown are samples.

The daily report list on a desktop: status filter buttons above a table of date, project, work, weather, headcount, author and status
A list you can narrow by statusFilter by draft, changes requested, awaiting client approval or approved. Search by project, work description or author, and limit the list to a date range.
A daily report on a desktop: before and after photos side by side, with the signature panel below
Photos and signatures on one screenBefore and after photos sit side by side with their caption. On the same screen, the internal and client signatures are shown with the name and time of each.
The client approval screen on a desktop: an approve button and a field for the reason when requesting changes
The client approves or sends it backThe client screen offers two actions: mark it approved, or write a reason and request changes. Fewer choices, less hesitation.

Questions

While you are considering

Can it be used from a phone alone?

Everything needed on site is done on the phone. Review and PDF export work the same way on a PC.

Can our client see the reports?

You issue a client account per project. Clients can view and approve only the reports for the projects they have access to.

Can the form layout be changed?

A standard layout is provided. Adjusting it to your own form is handled case by case, once we understand what you need.

Can we try it first?

A demo is available. Get in touch and we will walk you through the actual screens.
