Field records the office can use

Specialty contractors send change orders, daily logs, and material receipts from the field. The office reviews one record. Cleanup and answers from your files are scoped with the engagement.

Book a free working sessionSee how change orders work

Three typical service areas

The shop problems these systems are for.

  • Capture work at the source

    Make it as easy as texting for your crew.

    Photos and voice notes become records the office can review. No new app to download.

    Examples

    Change orders, material receipts, daily logs, timecards.

    Usually the first thing that goes live on seats after a pilot.

    See how change orders work
  • Clean up what’s already messy

    Years of half-kept files become structure the office can trust.

    We sort, validate, and hand off into systems you already use.

    Examples

    Specs and bid packets, past job costs, scattered PDFs and exports.

    Scoped with consulting, not a seat you add tomorrow.

    How cleanup works
  • Answers from your own files

    Ask the company’s own material and get answers you can check against the source.

    Answers point back so the office can verify.

    Examples

    Specs and exclusions, past job costs, submittals, what you agreed on a job.

    Only when the files are trustworthy. Quoted with the engagement.

The problem

Change orders leak money and time when the field note never becomes a costed, agreed record the office can act on. The work gets done; the extra gets argued about later.

What changes

Crew
Sends the change once — voice note, photo, text, or file — while the details are still fresh.
PM
Gets a structured request with the evidence attached, and prices it before the work starts where possible.
Office
Sees one record from request to approval, without rebuilding it from texts and email.

What it quietly includes

Status and handoffs, so everyone can see who owes the next step and the change doesn’t die in an email thread. When it helps, the record pulls in prior context from the job, so “what did we already agree?” has an answer.

The same approach fits other field-to-office work.

  • Material receipts

    A photo at purchase, tagged to the right job.

  • Daily logs

    A voice note or text becomes the day’s job record.

  • Timecards

    Hours in once, tied to the job, when you’re ready.

Cleanup and answers

When the backlog is the problem, not the next change order

Scoped with the engagement, not sold as a seat.

Clean up what’s already messy

When this is the move

History is the bottleneck: duplicates, silos, and nothing the office trusts.

What you get

  • Usable structure for the files you already have
  • Less “where does this live?” across the office
  • Handoff into systems you keep (not rip-and-replace as the default)

How you buy it. A scoped engagement, usually after the working session. Not a seat you add tomorrow.

Answers from your own files

When this is the move

Your files are trustworthy enough that questions should hit your material, not a generic chatbot.

What you get

  • Answers with a path back to the source document
  • Faster lookup on specs and exclusions, past costs, and submittals
  • A quick check on what you agreed on a job

How you buy it. Quoted with the engagement, once there’s trust in the files.

How we build it

  • Structured pipelines with validation for cleanup, then handoff into the software you keep.
  • Retrieval over your own documents, so the office can check an answer against the file it came from.
  • A modern cloud data store underneath, and an app layer built for the shop on top.

How it fits with your software

We’re the bridge

Keep the software you already use. We fill the gaps between field and office to keep the cost of change low.

  • Keep what works

    QuickBooks, email, spreadsheets, and job files stay put.

  • Low cost of change

    Not a whole new platform with all of the change-management headaches that come with it.

  • Built to stay secure

    You connect your own accounts. Access follows your people.

Examples we connect today

  • Microsoft 365
  • Google Workspace
  • Intuit QuickBooks

Plus other systems your shop already runs — we scope those with you.

How engagement works

Session first. Seats once it’s running.

We don’t lead with a subscription. We start with your jobs, then seats keep the live system on.

  1. 1

    Free working session

    Bring a real job. We look at the field-to-office gap on your work.

  2. 2

    Consulting and setup

    Fixed scope in writing: cleanup where needed, configuration, and a pilot workflow.

  3. 3

    Seats for the live system

    Once it’s running, office seats keep the hosted system going.

Setup

Usually part of the consulting engagement, or a simple setup fee. Scoped in your proposal.

Included

  • Organization and users
  • Up to 1–2 ready-made workflows
  • Agreed integrations
  • Training
  • First-month support

Setup turns the lights on once. Seats keep them on.

Affordable seats for the live system

Office seats, quoted in your proposal.

What’s in a seat

Paid seats are for people who review, manage, or move workflows forward. Field users who only submit are included.

Predictable on purpose

Your monthly seat bill doesn’t jump with how many change orders, receipts, or logs you process. Busy months cost the same as quiet ones. Not billed per document or per AI call.

Your seat plan stays the same

Additional ready-made workflows have a one-time setup fee. Custom workflows are scoped separately.

Cleanup and answers from your own files are quoted with the engagement, not sold as a seat add-on.

Bring the work that’s stuck. We’ll follow up to set a time. Consulting scopes live in a written proposal. Nothing goes live until that’s agreed.

Cohyric

We consult and train specialty contractors. We modernize the work between the field and the office, and run Cohyric after a working session.
