What SiteCapture (formerly FotoNotes) does

SiteCapture is an AI-powered field operations software company headquartered in Oakland, California, serving solar installers, property management firms, construction contractors, and roofers. The platform centers on a mobile app (iOS and Android) for field documentation and a web application for office-side QA/QC, reporting, and project management, with features including customizable form templates, conditional logic, subcontractor tracking, offline capture, and GPS/timestamped photo verification. On top of this base, the company launched SiteCaptureAI in March 2025, a computer vision and process automation module that performs object detection, defect identification (e.g., PID hotspots, snail tracks), text extraction from equipment labels, automated QA/QC against lender checklists, and real-time field alerts; the module also enables custom AI workflows that customers can configure for their own operations.

The business runs as a subscription SaaS, sold primarily through demo-driven enterprise and mid-market field sales with no publicly disclosed pricing; revenue is not disclosed and the company filed an SEC Form D for a $1.35 million securities offering in January 2025. Distribution combines direct sales, the App Store and Google Play listings, web self-serve, and joint go-to-market with Palmetto LightReach, whose native TPO financing milestone integration is a flagship ecosystem asset alongside Salesforce CRM and Zapier connections to 5,000+ apps. The company reports over 5,000 active customer companies, more than 10 million completed projects, and over 500 million photos captured, with named enterprise customers including Sunrun, Omnidian, FirstKey Homes, Powur, Freedom Power, Big Dog Solar, and Fastrac Energy.

The corporate entity originated as Fotobabble, Inc. and was restructured in September 2022 when FotoNotes acquired the original SiteCapture platform and rebranded the combined company to SiteCapture, shifting focus toward solar, residential real estate, and property management verticals. The company is led by Founder & CEO Kamal Shah and VP of Sales & Customer Success Robin Droppa, holds a Solar Power World 2025 Top Products Honorable Mention, and operates as a privately held California corporation.

Direct peers
