Phone-camera capture
No separate camera app. The same camera roll you already use, with shutter access one tap into the record — even from the lock screen once the app is installed to your home screen.
Snap, caption, and ship. No $1,000 iPads — your crew uses their own Android or iPhone. Every photo lands in the right place on the finalized PDF, automatically.
Tailgate is photo-first by design. Phone in one hand, work gloves on the other. The camera is one tap away from any record, and every photo you capture gets stitched into the right section of the finalized report without you laying out a thing.
No separate camera app. The same camera roll you already use, with shutter access one tap into the record — even from the lock screen once the app is installed to your home screen.
Every photo carries an optional caption you can dictate instead of type, so it says what you saw while you're still looking at it. Captions stick through to the finalized document without re-typing.
Photos for the current record show in a strip you can reorder, caption, or delete. The moment you finalize, Tailgate drops them into the PDF in the right order, at full resolution.
The fields differ; the photo pipeline stays consistent.
Snap the crew gathered for the talk or the condition that prompted the topic — the photo lands on the branded sign-in sheet with its caption.
The scene, the equipment involved, the condition at the time — captured in the moment, captioned by voice, attached to the report.
The blocked exit, the missing guardrail — and the corrected condition on the follow-up visit. Photos sit next to the checklist items and corrective actions they document.
Photograph the task setup and the controls in place so the JHA shows the real job, not a generic diagram — each step's photo captioned in your own words.
Tailgate provisions your workspace within one business day and emails your login. The 7-day free trial doesn't start ticking until you're in — no charge until you decide.
