You’re running between job sites, your crews are documenting work in CompanyCam, and your office team is managing everything in JobNimbus. But someone still has to move all those photos from the field into the right job files, update project statuses, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Or do they?
When you integrate CompanyCam to JobNimbus, a series of powerful automations kick in behind the scenes, eliminating manual data entry, reducing errors, and keeping your entire team synchronized without anyone lifting a finger.
Here are five automations that start working for you the moment you connect JobNimbus with CompanyCam.
1. Projects Sync When You Create Jobs in JobNimbus
When your sales team or office staff creates a new job in JobNimbus, the integration instantly creates a corresponding CompanyCam project. Your field crews arrive at the job site, open CompanyCam, and the project is already there waiting for them, no manual entry required.
All the job details from JobNimbus get created automatically:
Customer name
Job address
Job type
Project organization structure
A typical roofing company creates 20 – 30 new jobs per week. At just 2 minutes per manual project setup, that’s 40 – 60 minutes of admin time saved every single week. Over a year, that’s 40+ hours your team can spend on revenue-generating work instead.
Pro tip: Customize your project naming convention in the integration settings so your crew can instantly identify jobs in CompanyCam without hunting through addresses.
2. Field Photos Auto-Sync to the Right Job in JobNimbus
The moment your crew snaps a photo in CompanyCam—whether it’s pre-inspection damage, work in progress, or final results — that photo automatically syncs to the corresponding job in JobNimbus. No uploading, no transferring, no texting photos to the office.
What syncs:
All photos with timestamps
Before/after tags
Progress documentation
Team member attribution
One CompanyCam user documented over 15,000 photos across 200 jobs last year. With the JobNimbus integration, those photos were automatically organized into the right JobNimbus files with zero manual effort. They estimated this saved their admin team 10 – 15 hours every single week.
“We used to have a dedicated person spending half their day just organizing photos,” said their operations manager. “Now that person focuses on customer communication and coordination — things that actually grow the business.”
3. Contact Info Pushes from JobNimbus to CompanyCam
When you create or update a contact in JobNimbus, that information flows into CompanyCam.
Your field crews can see up-to-date contact details directly within CompanyCam Projects, making it easier to stay connected while on-site. This is especially helpful when contacting homeowners, property managers, or insurance adjusters in real time.
What syncs:
Contact display name
Contact address
Contact edits made in CompanyCam do not sync back to JobNimbus. CompanyCam acts as a viewer for your contact data, not a two-way editor.
Pro tip: Choose to sync either Jobs or Contacts, not both. If your team needs contact visibility in the field, syncing Contacts may be the better option.
4. Up to 100 Recent Jobs or Contacts Auto-Sync at Setup
When you first activate the integration, you don’t start from scratch. CompanyCam automatically imports the 100 most recent Jobs or Contacts from JobNimbus (depending on your chosen sync setting) and creates matching Projects for them.
This gives your team immediate access to your most active or recent job records without having to link them manually one by one.
What this does:
Auto-creates up to 100 CompanyCam Projects for your most recent Jobs or Contacts
Saves time during setup by reducing the number of manual links
Gets your field team working right away with synced job info
Pro tip: After the initial 100 sync, you can manually link older or ongoing jobs as needed. Everything new from that point forward will sync automatically.
5. Field Documents Instantly Sync to JobNimbus
When your team uploads documents to a Project in CompanyCam — like inspection reports, signed estimates, or equipment receipts — those files automatically sync to the corresponding Job or Contact in JobNimbus. No emailing, uploading, or dragging files from one system to another.
This saves time for your field crews and gives your office team instant access to important documents as soon as they’re captured.
What syncs:
PDFs and other supported file types uploaded via the CompanyCam mobile app
Files attached to photos
Any documents added to the Project folder
Everything syncs into the Documents or Photos section in JobNimbus, depending on the file type. No manual transfer required.
Pro tip: Use CompanyCam’s mobile upload feature to snap a photo of signed paperwork or jobsite notes. It uploads instantly and is stored right alongside your job photos — making documentation easy to track and easy to find.
Connect the Field to Office with Ease
These five automations might sound simple, but together they create something powerful: a seamless flow of information between your field operations and office management. Here’s what that actually looks like day-to-day:

What about my existing jobs and photos?
When you activate the integration:
New jobs created after connection: Automatically sync and create projects
Existing jobs in JobNimbus: Can be manually linked to existing CompanyCam projects (one-time task)
Photos already in CompanyCam: Remain in their current projects, begin syncing to JobNimbus once linked
Historical data: Not retroactively synced (for performance reasons), but all new activity syncs immediately
Most teams spend 30 – 60 minutes linking their active jobs after initial setup, then everything flows automatically from that point forward.
FAQ
Does this work with the JobNimbus mobile app? Yes. Whether your team uses JobNimbus on desktop or mobile, the integration keeps everything synchronized.
What happens if I’m offline in the field? CompanyCam works offline. Photos are captured and stored locally. When your device reconnects, photos automatically sync to JobNimbus. Nothing gets lost.
Can I control which photos sync? Yes. You can configure the integration to sync all photos automatically, or only sync photos with specific tags or from certain projects. Most teams find “sync everything” works best for complete documentation.
What if we’re already using both tools separately? Perfect. You can connect the integration at any time. Active jobs can be linked manually, and all future jobs will sync automatically.
Do my team members need special permissions? Your team uses the same permission levels they already have in each system. JobNimbus admins control who can create jobs; CompanyCam admins control who can take photos. The integration respects both.
Is there a limit on how many photos can sync? No. Whether you document 100 photos per month or 10,000, the integration handles it seamlessly.
