The right tools

Voice input and on-site photos: a real productivity accelerator for team leaders

Managing a construction site requires rigorous coordination, constant communication and the ability to react quickly to unexpected situations. In this context, team leaders play a key role. They must organise crews, control quality, ensure safety, manage materials, respond to client or project-owner requests and keep track of the schedule. They also need to transmit precise, usable and well-documented information back to the office – an often underestimated task.

In many companies, this flow of information is still largely manual. Notes scribbled in a notebook, photos stored in a disorganised gallery, quick messages sent on the go or emails written late in the evening… Not only do these methods waste time, they also lead to information loss, transmission errors, traceability issues and a lack of real-time visibility for the office.

With the right tools, this can change significantly. Voice input, automatic photo integration and the built-in translation in Hit-Online allow team leaders to work faster, more precisely and more efficiently while reducing their administrative burden.

Automatically linked photos: clear and reliable documentation

In the construction sector, a photo can easily replace several paragraphs of explanation. Whether documenting an issue, proving a completed step, reporting a defect or responding to a client request, an image provides objective and reliable evidence.

With reports in Hit-Online, on-site photos are automatically linked to the correct task or intervention. This avoids manual sorting and ensures perfect traceability. Each image is contextualised, timestamped and easy to retrieve.

This structured documentation brings essential value for:

– quality monitoring
– dispute management
– contractual compliance
– internal or external audits
– coordination between field teams and office

No photo remains unlabelled or without context. The company gains clarity, precision and responsiveness.

Speaking instead of writing: an immediate impact on-site

On a construction site, hands are rarely free, and the pace of work doesn’t allow sitting down to write a full report. This is why voice input in Hit-Online is such a major benefit. In just a few seconds, the team leader can record a comment, a technical observation or an instruction.

These voice notes are automatically converted into text and linked to the correct project or intervention. No more waiting until the end of the day or the end of the week, and no risk of forgetting important details. Communication with the office becomes smooth, instant and far more complete.

For construction companies, this also standardises the information coming from the field. Feedback no longer depends on writing skills or available time. Everything is captured immediately, without friction, in a format that administrative, technical and management teams can use directly.

Easier multilingual communication thanks to integrated automatic translation

In addition to these on-site features, Hit-Online includes another major improvement: the integrated automatic translation powered by DeepL. With a single click, any text can be translated into all languages configured in your environment, including English, French, Dutch and German.

Construction teams often bring together workers from many linguistic backgrounds. Team leaders, workers or subcontractors can write their notes, comments or reports in their native language and instantly translate them into the company’s working language. This ensures clarity, avoids misinterpretation and guarantees reliable communication.

This tool is especially valuable when workers speak other languages such as Portuguese or Polish. They can comfortably write in their mother tongue and translate their report immediately for the office. The language barrier disappears, and overall efficiency increases.

Less paperwork, more efficiency for everyone

By combining voice input, photo documentation and automatic translation, Hit-Online transforms the connection between the field and the office. Team leaders can focus on their priorities: organising, supervising and anticipating. The office receives reliable, usable and structured information in real time.

This reduction in administrative workload directly improves:

– site management quality
– speed of decision-making
– internal communication
– reduction of errors and omissions
– client satisfaction

The result is better-managed sites, more accurate schedules and more confident teams.

A major step forward for digital construction workflows

Digitalisation in construction is no longer optional. It has become a key factor for competitiveness, especially as companies face increasing pressure on margins, deadlines and quality expectations. Hit-Online provides practical, user-friendly tools tailored to real-world site conditions.

Voice input, structured photo management and built-in translation are not gadgets. They are real assets for companies seeking to modernise their workflows, eliminate unnecessary administrative tasks and strengthen project control.
