Features / Documents

Plans and permits, on every phone

Construction runs on paperwork — and it usually lives in email threads and truck dashboards. CrewBox puts project files where the project is: viewable, discussable, and organized from the field.

Built-in viewers

PDF plan sets render page by page; CSV opens as a scrollable table; Office formats preview in-app; anything else hands off gracefully to another app.

Discussion pinned to the file

Every document carries its own comment thread with @mentions — “revised drawing, footing detail changed, see page 4” reaches the right person instantly.

Organized like photos

Filter by type, uploader, search, and date. Long-press for bulk actions: share, save, tag, rename, move to project, print, assign to task, delete.
