Tradie job notes and photo system — capture the right information without the evening admin

A job notes and photo system connects customer details, site photos, job notes, materials used and follow-up tasks in one place. It stops important information from living only in your phone gallery, SMS threads or memory.

Short answer: A good job notes system captures six things on every job: the customer name and contact, the address, what was done, what materials were used, any follow-up needed, and two or three photos. Done in under two minutes on your phone before you leave the site.
Real local tech help from your actual neighbours — not a repair chain. Clear quotes, no jargon, no fix no fee, and honest repair-vs-replace advice.

What to capture

Job information worth recording on every job

Before and after photos

Save against the job, not the camera roll. Useful for warranty questions, insurance and showing future customers.

Site access and customer notes

Gate codes, pet on site, access times, customer preferences. Notes like these save a callback before the next visit.

Materials and quantities

What was used, how much, where sourced. Faster repeat quotes and easier invoicing.

What was done and discussed

A brief summary of the job outcome and any customer commitments. Avoids disputes and helps with warranty.

Follow-up tasks

Part on order, inspection booked, warranty check due. Keep unfinished items visible so nothing slips.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

A shared folder in Google Drive or Dropbox, named by customer and date, with photos and a short text note. Simple, searchable and free.
Once you have more than four or five concurrent jobs, job management software like ServiceM8 or Tradify helps. For smaller volume, a folder system and a CRM is enough.
Yes. AI can turn rough notes or voice messages into a cleaner job summary. Always review before filing.
Keep records for at least two to three years for warranty and dispute purposes. Some trades require longer under licensing rules.
