Clients Constantly Calling for Updates? That’s Costing You Billable Hours and Profit.
Contractors lose 50+ hours every month manually updating clients, digging through scattered progress documentation, and resolving unnecessary disputes, time directly taken from productive work.
With EmendoAI’s Photo Timeline, you'll eliminate client confusion and cut progress-update calls by 70%, reclaiming up to 5 hours each week.
The Problem Most Contractors Face
Contractors lose over 50 hours each month manually organizing and retrieving project documentation scattered across phones, WhatsApp, and email. On average, 30% of profit disappears due to rework caused by miscommunication and undocumented changes. The lack of visual updates keeps teams and clients out of the loop, often leading to disputes and delaying approvals and payments by 5–7 days.
Job-site updates scattered across phones, WhatsApp, and drives to job sites take hours, fuel client disputes, and bury proof of work. Contractors need a single visual timeline that auto-tags every shot, boosts trust, and frees billable hours, all in under 30 minutes per week.
