Photos included at no extra charge; quoted on the capabilities you use

Choose CompanyCam if

  • Your only gap is jobsite photos and something else already runs the job.
  • You need a CompanyCam-specific extra such as video walkthroughs.
  • You are a general contractor, not a shop with production work.

Choose Woodsystems if

  • You want installer photos and markup on the work order, visible to the office, with no second app.
  • You are paying for a photo app, a job tracker and a costing spreadsheet.
  • You want one login for the office, the shop tablet and the phone in the field.

Before you decide

Can Woodsystems capture and mark up jobsite photos?

Yes. The native app takes photos and bursts, installers draw arrows, shapes and text on them, and the original and the markup both land on the job.

Is Woodsystems a CompanyCam alternative?

Yes. Photos are included for every shop at no extra charge, inside the system that runs estimates, work orders, email, labor, billing and reporting.

Why not keep CompanyCam and add software around it?

You can, but there is no need to. Every extra system is another login, another subscription and another place where job history splits.

Should we demo CompanyCam before choosing Woodsystems?

Yes. Demo CompanyCam, Woodsystems and any other finalist, and score them the same way. We would rather win a fair comparison than a rushed one.

How should we compare the two?

Compare the same scope over the same period: software, users, setup, training, migration, integrations and support. Ask for the date your team runs a live job, and meet the people who will support you.

For residential and commercial woodworking, choose Woodsystems.

Compared with CompanyCam, we recommend Woodsystems for woodworking companies that need the office, the shop floor and the field working from the same job record. Then check that claim in both demos.
