Hey Alex! Great callout! We can totally see how helpful an auto-generated Project number would be helpful when you're juggling multiple jobs for the same client.

This isn't something CompanyCam supports today. Project creation doesn't include a Project number field, auto-generated or manual. I don't have an ETA or a guarantee that this feature will be developed, but we'll reach back out here if there is an update!

In the meantime, here's a manual workaround many teams use: CompanyCam already assigns every Project a unique ID behind the scenes, so you can use it for your project number! Once you create the Project, the URL will look something like this: https://app.companycam.com/projects/12345678/photos.

That 8-digit number is unique to that Project. Grab it, then rename the Project to include it. Now it's visible right in the Project title and fully searchable in the Project Feed.

We really appreciate you posting this feedback!

Hey there, thanks for sharing your feedback about the inconvenience of having to manually swap out Collaborators Project by Project. I can totally see how that would take a lot of time in a situation like the one you described.

While your request isn't available right now, we've logged it as a feature request to invite or remove Collaborators across multiple projects at once, and I've added your feedback to it. Notes like yours help us prioritize what to build next, so thank you for taking the time to share it.

We'll keep this thread posted if that changes!

To add people to groups, there is no easy way to do so. Too many clicks to add from the list.

Hey! Thanks for sharing how you'd like the Google Calendar integration to work.

Right now, as you mentioned, the Google Calendar integration creates a new CompanyCam project for each synced event rather than matching to one you've already got open, so we hear you on the duplicate headache.

We've already shared your feedback to our integrations team. We can't promise a timeline, but if this becomes an available workflow, we'll be sure to check back with you here.

In the meantime, the current workaround is to create the Project in CompanyCam first, then use the "Send to Google Calendar" button on that project. That pushes a correctly-linked event out to your calendar without creating a duplicate on the way back in. I'll share a link to our Google Calendar integration help article that includes a step-by-step guide on how the integration works: https://help.companycam.com/en/articles/8510093-integrate-companycam-google-calendar

We'll keep this thread in mind as we shape the roadmap. Again, we really appreciate you taking the time to write it up!

Hey Jeremy, thanks for flagging this!

It's totally fair that you'd want this feature in the mobile app so folks in the field have the same map filtering options. It's something our product team is looking into.

We've shared this feedback directly with the team, and we'll circle back here if there's any progress to share. We hear you, and it makes sense that it also lives where most of you actually are: in the truck, on the roof, wherever the job takes you.

Appreciate you taking the time to post. Feedback like this helps us prioritize what's next.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing!

We've shared your feedback with our product team and they have been actively talking through options for giving folks more screen real estate on the web app. No firm timeline to share, but this is on their radar, and your post is helping keep it there, so thank you for taking the time to write it up!

Quick tip in the meantime: if you shrink your browser window a bit narrower, the sidebar will automatically collapse out of the way. It's not a permanent fix, and it might not work if you want to view more photos on the screen, but it's currently the only way to collapse the left navigation bar.

We'll keep this thread in mind as things develop!

Looks like it's there! Thanks!

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Here's where things stand today: CompanyCam doesn't have native Bluetooth pairing for 360 cameras like the Insta360, and drawing-set/floor-plan pin mapping for a full 360 walkthrough tour isn't available either. So you're not missing a hidden setting, but we've logged both with our product team as ideas we're aware of. I can't promise development or a timeline, but feedback like this (with a clear use case) helps us prioritize. Thanks for laying out the full workflow!

I'd also recommend keeping an eye on our News Center for product releases: https://intercom.news/companycam

That said, there's good news: depending on your plan, you can upload your Insta360 photos to a CompanyCam project, and our 360 Photo Viewer will display them correctly (no stretching/distortion), so your team can view and interact with them right from the web app.

To enable this for a photo, tap the Info Icon in your Photo Viewer for an individual photo, then toggle on the 360 Photo Viewer. I'll share a screenshot of what that looks like.

Appreciate you walking through your workflow in such detail. Feedback like this is what gets ideas like this moving.

Hey, there!

Thanks for the feedback! I've passed along this feedback to our product team. Keep your eyes on our News Center for updates, big and small, to CompanyCam: https://intercom.news/companycam

Keep the ideas coming!

One thing I’ve been thinking about with the “you’re not charging enough” conversation is how contractors actually know when a price is enough. Raising prices is one thing, but if you don’t know the fully loaded cost behind the job, it’s still possible to raise the price and have less margin than you think. And a quote that looks fine initially can change pretty quickly when materials run over, labour takes longer, or the customer asks for a discount.

I’ve been testing a simple free calculator around this — you enter the job costs and target margin, then stress-test the quote against things like discounts and cost overruns. Full disclosure: I’m involved in testing it. There’s no signup or payment. I’m mainly trying to see whether contractors actually find this useful before taking it any further.

First picture added to project automatically gets set as cover photo.

Hey, Cody! I sent you a PM!

Next time you clock in on a project, snap a photo while you're at it.

It gets tagged with "clock in," stamped with the date and time, and dropped right onto your timesheet next to your hours. So instead of a row of numbers, you've got a visual record of the job. A few ways crews are already using it: a shot of the truck in the driveway to start the day, a quick crew photo when everyone shows up, or a photo of the finished area to clock out.

Takes one extra second and turns your timesheet into proof of the work.

You have early access to Time Tracking, no cost to you while we fine-tune things. We'll give you a heads-up before pricing kicks in.

How are you using the clock-in photo on your jobs? Drop a screenshot or tell us your routine below.

Hey Maria!

Thanks for this one, it's a great call out. Right now, Collaborators are tied to individual projects, so there's no way to save a group of people and pull them into a new project without sending a fresh invite each time. If you're working with the same subs over and over, I can see how re-inviting them on every Project gets old.

We don't have a saved Collaborator list like you're describing just yet, but it's exactly the kind of thing our product team wants to see, so I've passed your request along to them.

Requests like this one genuinely help the team figure out what to build next, so thanks for taking the time to write it up. Keep 'em coming!

I love the Invoice feature already. Here's my #1 request, though. Item quantities should allow decimal values, and allow less than one. Labor is the #1 line item we'd need it for, but for us as electricians, we'll bill partials for pulling lube, silicone, phase tape, etc.

Hey, Decimals are supported on mobile so if you need to send an invoice with decimals please use mobile. We will update web today to support decimals. Thank you for flagging this!

Hi again!

We hear you on the urgency, and we've made sure this is with our product team along with your other note about photos in Proposal. And please let us know if you have any other suggestions! We want Proposals to be as smooth a process as possible for our Users.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this! That's a really valid pain point, and we completely understand why jumping back and forth between the project and Proposals to edit a photo feels tedious, especially when you're trying to get something out to a client quickly.

I've passed this along to our product team. While I don't have a timeline to share right now, feedback like yours is exactly what helps shape what we build next, so it's genuinely helpful to hear how this fits into your workflow.

If anything changes on this front, we'll be sure to update this thread. Thanks again for flagging it!

Hi there. I'm the product manager who is working on the price book and quick follow-up question for you. Are you wanting to hide the price book items for standard and restricted users who are creating proposals, or do you want to hide pricing from standard and restricted users who do not need to create proposals or have access to proposals?

I like this update request as well with a slight tweak. In the Projects section of the website I want to be able to search by "Assigned Projects." With one click I want to see the projects that have been assigned to me.

Hey there, thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you're excited about using Boards as your Project pipeline!

Good news: you don't need to touch your browser zoom at all. On the web app, you can navigate horizontally between columns using the arrow buttons in the top right of the Board view. Just click through them to move across your Board stage by stage, no matter how many columns you've got set up. I'm sharing an attachment showing where those arrows are located.

That should get you back to viewing everything at a comfortable, readable size while still having full visibility into every stage of your pipeline.

That said, your feedback about comparing the desktop experience to the Android app genuinely helps shape where we take the feature next. So thank you for taking the time to lay it out so clearly.

Let us know how that's working for you. We're always excited to see how teams are putting Boards to use!

This is great to hear, thanks for circling back and letting me know it worked!

You're right about bulk actions. Setting up folders on a project that already has a pile of Files in it means a lot of clicking. I've passed that along to our product team, along with the tagging idea.

No timeline I can promise you, but this kind of feedback is exactly what shapes where Documents goes next. Keep it coming!

Feature Request: CompanyCam Timesheet Sync with Jobber​

I’m using the new CompanyCam Timesheets beta and would like to see time entries included in the existing Jobber integration.

My projects are already connected between CompanyCam and Jobber. Ideally, when a crew member records time against a CompanyCam project, that time could sync to the corresponding Jobber job, including:

• Employee/crew member
• Date
• Hours/start and stop times
• Project/job
• Notes, where applicable

Even a simple Export/Send to Jobber option would be useful if a full two-way sync isn't practical.

Currently I can manage this by filtering CompanyCam timesheets by project and crew, exporting the information, and then entering it into the appropriate Jobber jobs. However, that's time-consuming duplication of information that has already been captured digitally.

My goal is to have the crew enter their time once, at the project in CompanyCam, and have that information flow into the corresponding Jobber job for job costing, billing and payroll workflows.

Reducing duplicate entry is particularly important for a small contractor where the person managing the projects is also doing much of the field work.

Feature Request: Selective Client Access to Project Documents, Reports & Pages​

I would love to see Guest Access expanded into more of a client-facing project hub, while keeping the contractor in control of exactly what the client can see.

Currently, Guest Access is largely limited to the project photo feed. Reports and Pages can be shared individually by link, but that creates an ongoing administrative task for the contractor and can overwhelm clients with separate emails or links.

My ideal workflow would be very simple:

From the Documents area, allow me to select an individual Report, Page, File, permit, drawing, etc. and mark it “Visible to Guest” or “Share with Client.”

That item would then automatically appear in the client's existing Guest Access view.

For example, I might choose to expose:

• Weekly or daily project reports
• Permits and inspection documents
• Drawings or specifications
• Client approvals
• Progress summaries
• Selected project Pages
• Other project documentation relevant to the client

Everything else — internal notes, timesheets, crew information, internal reports, costing information, etc. — would remain private by default.

The important distinction for me is that I don't want to manually send every report to the client. I want to publish selected information to their project view, allowing the client to return to one link whenever they want to see the current state of their project.

This would make CompanyCam much more useful as the central project communication record rather than requiring contractors to maintain a separate client portal or repeatedly distribute documents through email.

A simple “Visible to Guest” toggle or right-click Share with Client option on individual items in the Documents tab could potentially accomplish this without changing the underlying project structure.

Going to start the 14-day trial & give it a run! I know this is just for Google Reviews - any plans for something similar for social media???

Sidenote, if there was a way to get this as an add-on instead of upgrading to Elite, we'll be more likely to purchase it. We don't have the need for any of the other Elite features...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to chime back in on this thread. Good news: CompanyCam has released Marketing Suite, which lets you post directly to social media, manage and respond to Google Business reviews, and showcase your best Project photos, all from inside CompanyCam.

Marketing Suite is an add-on that can be included with your existing plan. If you haven't tried it yet, you can start a free 14-day trial right from the web app (Marketing Suite is currently web-only, not in the mobile app). Just log in, click Marketing Suite in the left sidebar, and hit Start Free Trial. You can connect your Google Business Profile and social accounts during setup, or skip that and do it later.

More details here: https://companycam.com/marketing-suite

And here are our Marketing Suite how-to guides, in case you get stuck!

Hi everyone!

I'm Megan, a Support Specialist here at CompanyCam, and I wanted to pop in and introduce myself since some of our Support Team is going to be spending more time here in the community forums going forward!

We know you're the ones actually out in the field, on job sites, and using CompanyCam every day and we want to hear more from you. Specifically, we're hoping you can use this space to share how you're making CompanyCam work for your unique needs, share your feature requests with us, and spark conversations with your peers to share tips and real-world examples so everyone can learn from each other!

So consider this an open invitation to tell us about a clever way you're using a feature, ask a question you've been sitting on, or jump into a discussion with a fellow user. We'll be here, reading, responding, and looking for ways to bring your feedback back to our product team.

Excited to get to know this community better!
