What you get with SymTerra that OneTrace doesn't offer
These aren't minor extras — they're the features teams actually switch for.
Whole Supply Chain Visibility
OneTrace is built for subcontractors only. SymTerra connects your clients, main contractors, supply chain partners, and site teams — all in one platform, all seeing the same data.
SmartNotes — Replace WhatsApp
Stop losing critical site info in WhatsApp threads. SmartNotes gives you a structured, auditable alternative that's faster to use and impossible to lose.
AI-Powered Reporting
SymTerra's built-in AI analyses your site data and helps generate reports automatically. Spend less time at a desk and more time managing the job.
Deep System Integrations
Connect directly to SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Asta, OPC and more. OneTrace's integrations are limited.

Questions you probably have
Is switching from OneTrace difficult?
No. Most teams are fully set up and running within a day. We handle the heavy lifting — building your forms, configuring dashboards, and getting your team onboarded. You can even run both tools side by side during your trial.
Will my site team actually use it?
SymTerra was designed for workers on site, not project managers at a desk. The mobile app is fast, simple, and doesn't need a training manual. That's why our adoption rate is so high — if your team can use WhatsApp, they can use SymTerra.
What does "unlimited users" actually mean?
Exactly what it sounds like. You pay one flat monthly price and can add as many users as you need — clients, contractors, operatives, supply chain partners — with no extra charge. No per-seat fees, no surprise costs.
We're not in fire protection. Does SymTerra still work for us?
Absolutely. While OneTrace has primarily grown in the fire protection sector, SymTerra is used across all construction and infrastructure — from water and utilities to rail, highways, and building services. The forms and workflows are fully customisable to your trade.
What if I want to cancel?
No lock-in. You can cancel at any point with a full 30-day money-back guarantee. If you stay on and later decide to leave, it's just 30 days' notice. No long contracts, no penalty fees.
