SiteLog Automator: The "No-App" Photo System
Contractors hate "Photo Apps" that trap their data. SiteLog Automator is a workflow that organizes field photos directly into your **own** SharePoint/OneDrive folders, automatically renamed and sorted by Project ID.

The Problem: "The Lost Photo"
General Contractors lose thousands of dollars in disputes because they can't find that *one* photo of the framing from 6 months ago. It's trapped in a Superintendent's WhatsApp or lost in a "Camera Uploads" folder. Apps like **CompanyCam** solve this, but they charge monthly fees and hold your data hostage.
The Solution: You Own The Data
- 📸 Zero New Apps: Field teams just email/text photos to a dedicated project address (e.g. `project101@yourco.com`).
- 📂 Auto-Filing: The system reads the subject line, finds the matching folder in SharePoint, and saves the file.
- 🏷️ Smart Renaming: Files are renamed from `IMG_9923.jpg` to `2024-01-31_Kitchen_Framing_John.jpg`.
- 💾 Forever Ownership: The data lives on *your* server. Stop paying monthly storage fees to 3rd parties.
Why Contractors Choose This:
- • One-Time Setup Fee: No monthly subscriptions.
- • No Training Required: If your guys can send a text, they can use this.
- • Dispute Protection: Find any photo from any date in seconds.
The "SaaS Tax" Calculator
Subscription apps charge per user, per month. Over time, this "tax" drains your profit. See how much you reclaim with a one-time setup.
Your Total SaaS Tax

That's $0 / month lost to subscriptions.
Full Data Ownership: No ransom fees to access your photos if you cancel.
One-Time Investment: Pay for the build, keep the system forever.
