Sitemate builds user friendly no code software platforms which thousands of built world companies use to easily improve their systems, processes, compliance and business outcomes. Sitemate’s software tools include: - The Dashpivot Systems Cloud > Web and mobile-based integrated management system and digital database used by office workers, leading hands and managers to document, manage and analyse field forms, records and information - The Sitemate App > The Sitemate app enables your internal workforce and external parties to create free digital IDs they can use to easily signoff, submit and review forms electronically - The Flowsite Integrations Cloud > Integrations platform for automating business processes and eliminating data entry with instant no code integrations between built world tools Sitemate’s platforms combine the familiarity and flexibility of popular legacy tools like Word and Excel with the power and ease-of-use of best-in-class modern software - meaning built world companies can easily choose or create and then manage their ideal systems and processes in a simple and streamlined digital format. Millions of built world companies and field workers still manage critical information using paper forms, manual processes and legacy systems, which results in massive safety, quality, environmental, commercial and financial risk - and most of the newer softwares and apps built to date simply haven’t been good enough, flexible enough or easy enough to use to create a new era of built world efficiency and project delivery. Sitemate is the only company truly solving the paperwork and legacy manual format challenges by replacing the need to convert and move information between fragmented formats with a single digital format. We know that the future of the built world will be driven through real-time and digital collaboration. Our mission is to build tools which pave the way towards that future - and then help built world companies navigate that path.
