Field service photo documentation
Field service photo documentation from the truck — not from Recents
Nameplate, leak, swap, start-up — HVAC and plumbing truck photos should land in an album for that stop, not in a roll mixed with three other routes. Share one link with the customer or property manager, then attach the documentation to the estimate or invoice before you leave the driveway.

The problem
Truck photos are not field service documentation
A nameplate in Recents does not help the next tech or the property manager. Field service photo documentation needs an album per stop, a link you can send from the truck, and a way onto the estimate before you roll.

From the driveway shot to a set you can bill against
Capture on the call, file by service address, share one link, then attach HVAC or plumbing job photos to the estimate or invoice.

06
Before and after service photos
Remodelers, HVAC techs, landscapers, and plumbers close faster when the client can see the before and after — then you send the estimate while it’s still fresh.

Sound familiar?
Four field-photo problems on every route
Mixed camera roll
Photos from four visits sit in one camera roll — hard to find the right shots when a client calls.
Album per project
Keep photos by job address so every shot stays with that project.
Crew out of sync
Techs text photos to dispatch, dispatch texts the office, and nobody has the full set when it’s time to share with the client.
Crew on one album
Everyone uploads to the same album — field and office see the same photos.
Messy handoffs
Twenty compressed texts or a Drive permission maze doesn’t look like a finished job.
One client link
Share a clean gallery from your page. Keep adding photos without resending a new link.
Photos in one place, invoices in another
You prove the work in photos, then switch apps to quote, schedule, or invoice.
Page + CRM
Put before-and-after photos on estimates and invoices — same page, same brand.
HVAC and plumbing truck photos that survive the next callback
Field service photo documentation is the serial number, the cracked drain pan, the old valve, and the new install — in order, on that address. When the same unit calls back in August, you should open the album, not guess which tech had the stills.
Dispatch and techs on the same documentation
Techs upload from the driveway. Office shares with the property manager without waiting for someone to send it later. Billing sees the same set you just promised on the phone.
Service photos on the estimate, not in a side chat
Show the failed part, then send the quote with those stills attached. Same page for documentation and CRM. Starter is free to start — see Plans for storage, seats, and online payment fees.

Field service photo documentation — FAQ
- What counts as field service photo documentation?
- The photos that explain the call: existing condition, failed part, install, and start-up — filed by service address so the next tech and the customer can both open the same set.
- Can HVAC and plumbing techs upload from the truck?
- Yes. Capture on the phone, land the shots in that stop’s album, and share a link without driving back to the shop to sort a roll.
- How do I share service photos with a property manager?
- Send a read-only link from your page. They open it in a browser. Keep adding if you return for a second visit — same link.
- Can I attach truck photos to the invoice before I leave?
- Yes. Page and CRM are one workspace — attach stills or a live FWDLink to the estimate or invoice from the driveway.
- Does this replace my dispatch software?
- No. FWDLink holds the photo documentation, client link, estimate, and invoice. Keep the dispatch tool you already use for routing tickets.
- Will this work for electrical and other field trades too?
- Yes. Any truck trade that needs photos by stop — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance, garage door — uses the same album-by-address path.
