Property managers who rely on vendor self-reporting get billed for work that wasn't done. Photo verification — requiring vendors to submit timestamped before-and-after photos for every job — closes that gap. Here's how to set it up.
The Problem
Vendors invoice. Did they actually do the work? Did they do it correctly? Was the property already in that condition before they arrived? Without photos, you don't know.
The Solution: Require Timestamped Photos
Build a requirement into your vendor agreements: for every work order, vendors must submit timestamped photos showing:
- Before — condition on arrival
- After — completed work
Tools for Vendors
TimeFotos gives field contractors an address-based workspace with automatic timestamps on every photo. They add photos on arrival (before) and completion (after), then share one link with you. You verify completion without a site visit.
Vendors who use TimeFotos can list their business in the city directory, get verified, and post on the local marketplace — giving them more visibility as a reward for professional documentation practice.

Bottom Line
Require timestamped before-and-after photos from vendors on every work order. It verifies completion, catches problems early, and protects you against billing disputes.
