Why Digs and CompanyCam are a good fit

THE SHORT VERSION

Digs is built around your project data. CompanyCam is built around your job site media. Neither tool tries to do the other's job, and that is exactly why they work so well together.

WHAT EACH TOOL DOES

Digs gives builders and their teams a central place to manage a project from pre-construction through warranty and beyond. Blueprints, tasks, communication with homeowners, warranty tickets, and the Homeowner Handoff all live here. What Digs does not have is a native camera or media capture tool. We rely on the fact that every builder already has a high-resolution camera in their pocket.

CompanyCam is built for the job site. It captures GPS-tagged photos and videos, organizes them by project, and makes everything easy to find and share. Their video walkthrough tool records narrated site tours, generates a written transcript, and saves everything to your project. Their dual camera mode records both the site and the person walking through it at the same time. Photos can be annotated before you ever leave the job site.

Together, you get field-quality documentation feeding into a platform that indexes it, makes it searchable, and puts it in front of the right people at the right time.

WHY THE FIT WORKS

Most of the friction in construction documentation comes from one of two places: media that never gets organized, or context that gets lost when people leave a project. CompanyCam solves the first problem. Digs solves the second.

When CompanyCam media is imported into Digs with intentional folder naming and tags, AskDigs can surface that content years later in plain language. A question about what the mechanical rough-in looked like on a specific job does not require anyone to remember which folder something was saved in. The context travels with the file.

The same logic applies to warranty. A trade documents a repair with CompanyCam. That media comes into a DigsCare ticket. The homeowner gets a clear, timestamped record of what was done and when. No phone tag, no he-said-she-said.

At closeout, the Homeowner Handoff lets you decide what goes to the owner and what stays internal. Finished walkthroughs and system documentation go in the package. Rough-in photos and internal trade notes stay on your side. The organization you built throughout the project makes that call easy.

IS THIS A BUILT-IN INTEGRATION?

Not yet. Right now, using Digs and CompanyCam together is a manual workflow. You export media from CompanyCam, unzip the file, and upload the files into your Digs project. It takes a few extra steps, but with consistency the payoff shows up fast, especially at warranty time and project close.

Both teams see the potential here. The workflow described in this article is the foundation that a deeper integration would build on, and the feedback we hear from builders using both tools shapes what gets prioritized next.

If you are already using Digs and CompanyCam together and have a clear sense of what would make your day easier, we want to know. Reach out to support@digs.com and tell us how you are using the two tools and what is still feeling manual. That input goes directly into our product conversations.

A NOTE ON COMPANYCAM

CompanyCam is a separate subscription with its own pricing. Digs does not require it. If your current media process works for your team, there is no obligation to change it. That said, if you want GPS-tagged documentation, organized video walkthroughs with transcripts, and dual-camera audit recordings all ready to move into Digs, CompanyCam is a natural fit.
