Field proof pipeline

Job Photo Attachments & PDF Field Reports

Crews capture before, process, and after shots on the job record — a marketing worker builds branded composites, publishes to the website gallery, and compiles service-report PDFs that ride with weekly invoice emails. Camera-roll hunts after every ticket are the problem this lane removes.

Photo → composite → gallery + PDF — not billing

This page is the proof pipeline between field closeout and money. Stripe pay links and weekly invoice emails live on Stripe Invoice Automation — here we cover how scoped field photos become manager-ready PDFs, website gallery pages, and social-ready composites without a second upload step.

Lane 1 — Field capture

Before / process / after — tied to job ID on site

KG Dispatch (Handyman Ticket Manager) requires scoped uploads per ticket — not a camera-roll dump after the truck leaves. Browser-first mobile capture keeps crews off another app store install while timestamps and captions stay on the job record permanently.

  1. Status-gated closeout Job cannot finish until required photo scopes are attached — office stops chasing texts for “any pics?”
  2. Per-scope labels Before, repair process, and after sections match what property managers reject when proof is vague.
  3. Cross-trade examples Handyman AC filter jobs, pool enclosure screen work, and land-clearing before/after — same pipeline, different templates.
Screen Team on-site job photography — field capture source for composites and PDF reports
Lane 2 — Branded composites

One upload becomes marketing frames — not three manual crops

A background worker builds before | process | after composites with brand headers, service labels, and geography — the Knight Group AC filter pattern. Composites feed the website gallery, social-ready JPGs for the kg Social Poster queue, and compressed pages inside service-report PDFs.

  1. Template once Brand frame, fonts, and section layout encoded per client — crews never rebuild Canva after every job.
  2. Auto-compress for email PDF photo pages sized under Graph send limits when reports ride with invoice emails.
  3. Redaction posture Client PII stripped from public gallery composites; job ID stays in ops views.

Lane 3 — Website gallery

Completed work becomes owned proof content — without re-upload

Composites publish to client gallery pages with schema-friendly alt text and city/service tags — Screen Team pool enclosures, Knight Group handyman jobs, Faith Works land clearing. Marketing proof compounds from the same capture path crews already use to close tickets.

  1. Gallery worker Approved composites push to the site gallery with captions pulled from job metadata.
  2. Panoramic and detail shots Wide job photography (pool enclosures, large sites) complements before/after composites on gallery grids.
  3. Social handoff Social-ready JPGs fan into brand queues — see Social Media Automation for publish runners.

Gallery source On-site photography feeding owned gallery pages.
Lane 4 — PDF service reports

Portal-ready packets — cover totals plus per-job photo pages

Server-side PDF generation runs branded layouts per property manager requirements: weekly cover table, then per-job sections with WO title, unit, technician, amounts, completion notes, and scoped photos. Office reviews the packet before billing fires when proof-gating is configured.

  1. Manager format matching Templates encode required sections once — portal rejections stop eating Friday afternoons.
  2. Land clearing before/after Visual trades (forestry mulching, stump removal) use paired proof sections managers expect on heavy equipment jobs.
  3. Download + email PDF exports for portal upload, customer links, or attachment to weekly vendor email.

Lane 5 — Invoice packet

Reports ride with invoices — proof before pay asks

Weekly Vendoroo closeout emails attach the compressed service-report PDF beside Stripe pay links — managers see job tables, photo proof, and per-property pay buttons in one send. This is the handoff to Stripe Invoice Automation; photo PDFs are not optional decoration when portals audit completion.

  1. Proof gates billing Invoice automation unlocks only after required photos attach when configured.
  2. Size limits Images auto-compressed so PDF + HTML email stay under provider send caps.
  3. Audit trail Timestamped proof on the job record — disputes reference the same packet managers received.

Knight Group AC filter job composite — gallery-ready before and after frame

Handyman KG Dispatch composite

Mobile upload → branded gallery frame

  • Weekly cover totals + per-job photo pages
  • Compressed under email provider size limits
  • Pairs with Stripe Invoice Automation — distinct lane

How we build it

Proof pipeline scoped to portal requirements and crew habits — not a generic photo app.

1

Proof requirements

Document portal and manager PDF expectations per job type — required scopes and section order.

2

Mobile capture UX

Minimal taps for crews; status gates prevent closeout without photos when configured.

3

Composite + gallery templates

Brand frames, gallery metadata, and compression rules for email-sized PDF pages.

4

PDF generation

Server-side layouts with auto-filled job fields, timestamps, and per-manager sections.

5

Delivery + billing handoff

Portal upload, customer links, or invoice-email attachment — proof gates billing when scoped.

Outcomes we design for

Proof outcomes property managers accept — and marketing content without a second upload.

Fewer portal rejections

Consistent PDF format matches manager upload requirements the first time.

Proof before billing

Office sees photos before invoice or pay links go out — fewer disputes.

Marketing from field work

Gallery and social content from the same capture path crews use to close tickets.

Crew discipline

Required capture on the job page replaces end-of-day camera-roll hunts.

Common questions

How is this different from Stripe invoice automation?

Stripe Invoice Automation covers weekly pay links and webhook sync. This page covers the photo → composite → gallery → PDF pipeline — the proof layer managers review before money moves.

Do crews need a native app?

Browser mobile flow is default — photos attach from the job page on phone without another app store install.

Can PDFs include before and after sections?

Yes — templates are scoped per client during intake to match property manager formats, including land-clearing and visual trades.

Do composites also publish to the website?

When configured, approved composites push to owned gallery pages with captions and SEO metadata — marketing proof without re-uploading.

When does billing happen relative to photos?

Office can require proof attached before invoice automation fires — the cleanest dispute prevention for portal-heavy vendors.

Who is this for?

Property maintenance vendors, enclosure contractors, and land-clearing operators whose managers reject vague closeouts without scoped photos.
