Daily site reporting,
via WhatsApp.
Your crew already sends updates, photos and voice notes on WhatsApp. Updatly turns them into structured daily site reports and a permanent, searchable record — automatically. No new app. No paperwork.
Early days — already live on real sites with JR Roofing, Sheffield
Content in. Structured format out.
Powerful tech, hidden in a chat bubble. Your crew keeps messaging the way they always have — Updatly does the structuring.
structured
It's a messaging automation engine.
Not just reporting. Two engines run your site's WhatsApp — one your crew pulls, one you push.
Keyword flows
Your crew texts a keyword — problem, update, delivery — and Updatly runs the right flow: asks the questions, grabs the photos, logs it. Structured data from a single word.
Scheduled check-ins
Set it once. Updatly sends the morning check-in, the end-of-week roll-up, the safety reminder — automatically, to the right people, on the right day.
Simple for the field. Powerful for the office.
Chat & forms
Capture free-text chat and structured forms in one thread — whatever suits the moment on site.
Escalation to management
Flag a problem and it's routed straight to the right manager — nothing important scrolls away.
Offline follow-ups
Actions and reminders keep working off the thread, so nothing gets dropped when the site gets busy.
Your flows, or our templates
Use ready-made templates out of the box, or build your own flows for exactly how you run a job.
Permanent, searchable record
Every variation, agreement, warning and problem — captured, timestamped and instantly findable.
PDFs, dashboards & CSV
Client-ready PDFs, an office dashboard and a full audit trail you can export any time.
“Updatly has massively simplified our reporting — 10 projects message in daily, and it does all our end-of-week client reporting automatically.”
Made for how you actually work.
No faff, no fluff — just a tool that fits the way a site really runs.
No app to download
It runs on the WhatsApp that's already on every phone. Nothing to install, nothing to log into.
No paying for features you don't need
Straightforward pricing. Pay for what you actually use — not a bloated platform built for head office.
Designed by tradespeople like you
Built with roofers and site teams to make the paperwork side of the job easier — not another headache.
All your subbies can use it too
Your crew and your subcontractors all work in one thread — one shared record, everyone on the same page.
The hardest part takes 15 minutes. Blame Meta, not us.
We’ll be straight with you: the one fiddly bit of getting started is connecting your WhatsApp number — and that’s Meta’s setup, not ours. Let’s just say Zuck didn’t build it with roofers in mind.
Good news: you only do it once.
Four steps, about fifteen minutes, all in a browser — nothing to install on anyone’s phone. We’ve filmed the whole thing and written it down screen‑by‑screen, so you just follow along. Do it once and it’s done for good.
And once it’s connected, we take it from there — we subscribe your team and switch on your flows.
Simple, per-project pricing.
No per-user fees. Add your whole team via WhatsApp for one flat project rate — with a 14-day free trial on every plan.
Before you pick a plan: the Founding 50.
The first fifty firms lock Professional at £50 a month, instead of £99, for as long as they stay. Not a trial rate and not a first year discount. 47 places left, and it closes on 30 September.
The Founding 50 is full.
All fifty founding places have gone. You can still join the waitlist in case one frees up, and every plan below includes a 14 day free trial.
