SodaDesk captures the test results, photos and checklist evidence from each plumbing job, time-stamped and tied to the technician, so you can show the work when anyone asks.
The Business Case
When a dispute or audit lands, the contractor who can produce time-stamped photo evidence wins. Capturing it by default is the cheapest insurance there is.
Where Most plumbing Contractors Get Stuck
- Plumbing service work gets done but there's no organized evidence of it.
- Photos live on personal phones and vanish when you need them.
- No time-stamp or location ties the evidence to the actual visit.
- Pulling proof together for an audit or insurer is a scramble.
How SodaDesk Solves It
Evidence captured by default
Required photos and checklist items are captured on every Plumbing job, so the evidence exists without anyone remembering to collect it.
Time-stamped and attributed
Every photo and entry is time-stamped and tied to the tech and job, with GPS check-in when allowed.
Stored, not on a phone
Evidence is stored against the job in object storage, not lost on a device.
Retrievable on demand
When a client or auditor asks, the proof is on the job record — no camera-roll scramble.
How It Works
Owner schedules the job
Create a one-time or recurring plumbing job and assign a tech — the right checklist is attached automatically.
Tech checks in on site
Check-in captures the time and, when location is allowed, a GPS-verified arrival — never blocking, even if permission is denied.
Checklist + photo proof
The tech works the checklist on mobile: numbers, notes, and required photos. Mark Complete stays locked until every required item is done.
Proof is captured automatically
Photos, readings, time on site, GPS, and the customer signature are compiled into a job-proof record the owner can send to the customer.
Built for plumbing
Evidence the test happened
Backflow and pressure results recorded as number fields with a gauge photo — documented proof the test was performed, not just ticked.
Time-stamped and attributed
Results and photos are time-stamped and tied to the tech and job, with GPS check-in when allowed.
Retrievable for insurers
Evidence sits on the job record, ready when an insurer or client asks to see it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SodaDesk provide a regulatory certificate?
No. SodaDesk captures and stores the evidence that the work was performed — photos, checklists, time, and location. It is job proof, not a regulatory certificate.
Is the evidence time-stamped?
Yes, and tied to the tech and job, with a GPS-verified check-in when the tech allows location.
Where is the evidence stored?
Against the job in object storage (Wasabi) with a local fallback, so it's retrievable later rather than stuck on a personal device.
Can I add my own required fields?
Yes. If you need a specific field captured as evidence, add it as a custom checklist item — required, with a photo if you want one.
