How to Get the Most Out of Site Marker
Site Marker is a game-changing software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that revolutionizes how we identify and communicate our surroundings. It's the ultimate tool in location mapping and project communication. Boasting features such as map-based geolocation, CAD overlay, and real-time data collection, Site Marker is indispensable for any team needing to streamline their field operations.

It is the ideal solution for professionals seeking accurate location identification and smooth, efficient communication during due diligence, design, and construction phases.
Before We Begin: Understanding the Roles of Site Marker's Web and Mobile Applications
The Web Application
The web application is designed primarily for project setup and overview. It serves as your control center where you can create an account, establish projects, add CAD line work, and invite team members. Additionally, it offers a bird's eye view of the project's status and progress, making it perfect for project managers and office-based team members who need to oversee operations, coordinate tasks, and monitor real-time updates.
The Mobile App
On the other hand, the iOS or Android mobile application is designed for field work. It equips on-site team members with a powerful tool to geolocate and tag items, document meetings with geotagged notes, attendees, photos, and more. With this mobile app, recording on-site data becomes as straightforward as sending a text message. It provides the advantage of real-time data collection and visualization, which is key to accurate documentation and efficient decision-making.
In essence, the web application is your strategic headquarters, while the mobile app is your tactical field tool. Together, they form a cohesive system that ensures smooth communication, accurate data collection, and efficient project management, whether you're in the office or out on the field. - Landon Messal, Founder Site Marker
