GoCanvas vs SiteDocs
Short answer: GoCanvas suits field service, construction and trade businesses (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire safety, oil and gas) of 3 or more people that want inspection forms, work orders and job dispatch in one app. SiteDocs suits contractors and field crews (construction, oil and gas, forestry, manufacturing) that want every worker and subcontractor signing safety forms on a phone, with certifications tracked, on an annual contract.
