The Now Report By NoteVault:
Documenting the daily activities of a large construction project is one of the most tedious (but important) tasks of a Project Manager. But with NoteVault’s Now Report, the task becomes a verifiable breeze. With a secure and private database, NoteVault application users can access their dictated voice notes (transcribed), photos and related jobsite GPS coordinates captured and organized irrefutably. This real-time reporting eliminates the process of time-consuming written reports. After-the-fact inaccuracies are gone, removing any gaps in detail that could risk exposing companies to legal claims. This simple, user-friendly solution, combined with the Sonim phone, provides a cost-effective way of improving construction business processes.

Building on lessons learned from serving half a million workers in the world’s toughest jobs, Sonim’s phones meet a set of durability and usability metrics in extreme conditions that go well beyond military specifications called Rugged Performance Standards (RPS).
