LibreDispatched from the hall on Monday, on a storm call by Tuesday. Every hand on the same record.
Crews change with every job and every call-out. LibreCam puts the foreman, the journeymen, the apprentices and the travelers on one photo record per job, and gives the contractor and the utility one link to it.
A job, documented from dispatch to release
Dispatch, the work, release. The contractor and the utility need the record; the crew needs it to be quick.
Dispatch & roster
- The crew and the trucks at the yard or the staging area
- Equipment condition before the job
- The work assignment and the first location
- Travelers added to the job the day they arrive
- Voice-caption the job and the crew so the report reads it back
On the job
- The job briefing: the crew, the hazards, the plan, photographed at the site
- Hazards where they are: energized equipment, traffic, terrain
- Each location before the work, with the pole tag in frame
- Work as it progresses, and the finished location
- Anything stopped or deferred, and why, said as a voice caption
Release
- Final condition at the last location
- Trucks and equipment on departure
- Tap Generate: the job's PDF, every photo stamped with GPS and time
- Share the link with the contractor's office and the utility
- Remove travelers from the job; the record stays with the contractor
The crew changes. The record shouldn't.
Outside line work runs on referral: under outside line agreements, the local refers lineworkers from its out-of-work list, the contractor directs the work, crews form around the job, and the same lineman can work for several contractors in a season. The documentation duty sits with the contractor and the utility it works for — and it's the crew on the pole that has to produce it, usually on personal phones that leave with them. LibreCam gives each job its own project and keeps the record with the contractor. Roles keep it simple: admins manage the account, crew members shoot and fill checklists, and the office and the utility review as viewers without editing anything. Travelers join through guest access the day they arrive, every photo is stamped with GPS and time, and the job's record survives the crew moving on. For storm work, see storm restoration; for planned work, line construction.
Built for signatory contractors and the crews they dispatch
Roles that match the crew
Admins manage the account, journeymen and apprentices capture photos and fill checklists, and the office and the utility review as viewers. Crew are invited by phone number.
Travelers on the job in minutes
Guest access adds a traveler to the job without a company account. Remove them at release; their photos stay in the contractor's record.
Job briefings on the record
Photograph the job briefing at the site with the crew and the hazards in frame. The date, time and location are on the photo.
Offline on the line
Rural circuits and storm zones lose signal. Photos and captions queue on the phone and sync when the truck reaches coverage.
The day's report in 2 taps
Select the shift, tap Generate. Every location stamped and captioned, ready for the contractor's office and the utility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mostly the contractor and its foremen, who carry the documentation duty to the utility. Locals don't run the job record, but stewards and safety committees use the same app to keep their own photo records of hazards and conditions.
Yes. A steward or safety committee can keep its own project, separate from the contractor's job, with its own sharing. What goes in it and who sees it is theirs to decide.
No. It isn't a timekeeping tool. Every photo carries its time and location, which can support a timesheet, but hours, per diem and travel stay in the contractor's payroll system.
The contractor whose job it was. The photos live in the contractor's project, not on the lineman's camera roll, so removing someone from the job doesn't take the record with them.
Yes. The app and this site run in English, Spanish and French, and each crew member can use their own language on the same job.
Nothing. LibreCam is free for every hand on the crew, the foremen, the office and the utility's reviewers. The free plan is the product, not a trial.
