LibreFranchises, multi-branch companies, roll-ups: one standard in every camera.
Your installation standards only hold if every crew at every location shoots to them and the office sees the job the same day. LibreCam puts the checklist in every crew member's pocket, with no seat to ration.
One standard, run at every location, audited from the record
The production manager's loop, from SOP to job audit.
Standardize
- Write the photo requirements SOP: which shots, at which phase, by whom
- Build a checklist per job type: tear-off and re-roof, repair, inspection, service
- Make each required shot a checklist item that needs a photo to close
- Load the same checklists to every branch, including the one you just acquired
Run
- Every crew member at every location has the camera on their own phone
- The lead opens the job's checklist and the crew shoots to it as they work
- Photos sync to the job record as they are taken, and queue where there is no signal
- The checklist shows what is still unshot before the crew leaves the roof
- 1099 install crews upload to your job record with no account
Audit
- Post-installation inspection from the job record, the same day, from any branch
- Job audits by location, job type, or date, pulled from the same record
- Final roof inspection and closeout report drafted from the photos and checklist
- Brand standards shots on every job for the office to review: yard sign, truck, cleanup
Standards drift at the second location. The camera is where you hold them.
At one branch the owner walks the roofs. At three, the standard is whatever each production manager remembers to check, and the photos live in group texts on phones the company does not own. Per-seat software makes it worse: someone in the office decides which crew leads get a login, and every job those leads are not standing on goes undocumented. LibreCam gives every crew member at every location the same checklist, built from your photo SOP, with items that require a photo to close. Start from the roofing photo requirements template and the post-installation QC checklist, then read how to run quality control across branches and how to get job photos off employee phones.
Same job, two branches apart. Two records.
A handful of logins for the whole company
The software bills by the seat, so the branch manager picks who gets one. Crew leads shoot when they remember. Laborers, who see the deck first and the cleanup last, never do. Jobs go into the system half-documented or not at all, and the production manager finds out about a bad install when the homeowner calls.
The whole company, one standard
Every employee at every branch has the camera and the same checklist. Shots land on the job record as they sync, so the production manager reviews the day's roofs from the office while the crews are still on them. A new branch or an acquired company gets the same checklists on day one, and the record reads the same from every location.
Built for the production manager who cannot be on every roof
Unlimited users, role-based access
Invite by phone number, set roles, and give every laborer the camera. There is no seat count to manage, so headcount growth at a location never touches the software.
Your installation standards, as a checklist
Photo-required checklist items walk every crew through the company way of documenting a job. The same list at every branch, so the record looks the same whoever shot it.
See every job the same day
The timeline shows each job as its photos sync. Review a roof three states away while the crew is still on it, and catch a missing shot before it costs a truck roll.
Reports that assemble themselves
Daily and closeout reports draft from the job's photos and checklist items. Every branch ships the same report without a night of office work.
Search across every location
Search by address, date, tag, or caption across all branches. Job audits pull from one record instead of a request to each office.
New hires document like veterans
A first-week installer at your newest branch follows the same guided steps as your best PM. Standards survive turnover without binders or retraining. See how to train roofing crews to take photos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Photos sync to the job record as they are taken, and the timeline shows each job as it happens that day. Open the branch, open the roof, review the checklist and the photos. Where a roof has no signal, the shots queue and arrive when the crew is back in range.
No. It records what the crew did, with time and location on every photo, and the checklist shows what has not been shot yet. The standard is yours, and the judgment about the work is still your production manager's.
No. Send the crew an upload-only link and their photos land on your job record with no account, or invite the crew lead as a guest to work the checklist. Either way the photos are yours. See how to verify install-crew work before payment.
Nothing. They were never on that person's camera roll. Every shot went to the company's job record, so the branch keeps its history when people move on.
Add their people, give them your checklists, and their next job documents the company way. Roles and branch settings live in org settings, so the acquired office runs under the same rules as the rest.
Nothing. LibreCam is free with unlimited users, so a new location, a new franchisee, or an acquisition adds people to the record without adding a line to the software bill.
