Problem
Construction crews spend significant time manually logging hours, job costs, and site documentation, often using disparate tools like spreadsheets, email, and paper receipts. This fragmented process leads to delayed timesheets, inaccurate invoicing, and lost photos, creating administrative bottlenecks for managers.
Solution
Lucile streamlines back‑office operations by converting WhatsApp messages, voice notes, and photos into structured timesheets, invoices, receipts, and project files in real time. Workers simply text or voice‑note their daily activities and expenses; Lucile’s engine extracts the data, aggregates crew hours, job costs, and site images, and generates ready‑to‑review invoices such as #INV‑0247. All records are automatically organized by project and stored in a searchable cloud repository, eliminating manual data entry and reducing admin time. The service requires no app download or training—crews continue using the communication platform they already prefer, while managers access up‑to‑date documentation through a web dashboard.
Target Audience
Primary customers are general contractors, subcontractors, and crew managers in the construction industry who rely on field teams to report work and expenses via mobile messaging.
