SiteTrace Lite is a simple progress and compliance tracking tool for small construction sites that rely heavily on excavators but don’t have the budget or patience for full-blown construction management software. Right now, site bosses manage everything with paper notebooks, chat groups, and memory, which causes over-hours disputes with excavator drivers, missed inspections, and inaccurate cost tracking. The app lets excavator operators and site managers check in/out, attach geotagged photos, label tasks (foundation dig, backfill, trenching), and auto-generate daily reports and machine-hour summaries. Value props:

For site managers/small GCs: clear historical log of work, easier billing to owners, and basic compliance documentation without extra admin staff.
For operators: indisputable proof of hours and work completed, supporting on-time payment and better reputations.
Defensibility via becoming the default timekeeping + proof tool in this micro-segment, with low friction and offline-first design. Revenue from freemium to paid tiers (per-site or per-machine) and upselling integrations into accounting or tender documentation over time.
