RapportApp is a digital construction daily report tool for the German construction industry. Its core goal is to solve the problems of paper-based daily reports, language barriers, and retaining evidence under VOB requirements. Foremen can fill out reports in their native language via a mobile browser, while site managers can read the German version in the backend. Both the original text and the translation are saved.
The product is built around a closed loop for construction daily reporting: reports can be completed in 9 languages and translated into German via DeepL; VOB-related fields cover construction activities, machinery, deliveries, disruptions under §4, working hours, weather, and signatures; it supports PDF export, calendar week/monthly archiving, automatic weather, up to 10 photos, and GPS. The office side provides a site status dashboard, while the field side is a 5-step mobile form with no app download required. Business GU also includes a subcontractor portal, Magic Link, automatic reminders, and weekly reports for clients.
Pricing is fairly clear: Free is free forever and suitable for testing, but does not include archiving, photos, or GPS; Starter is €29/month for small trade businesses; Pro is €59/month and unlocks unlimited sites and foremen, plus photo documentation; Business GU is €119/month for general contractors and subcontractor coordination. Annual billing offers a 20% discount, and all paid plans list a 7-day free trial. The product is currently still in a waitlist/early-access stage, with an early-bird discount and video guidance available.
Its strengths are a focused use case, a lightweight onboarding path, and good fit for multilingual construction crews. It also emphasizes GDPR, German/EU servers, and no data transfer to the US, which is helpful for local compliance-driven procurement in Germany. The drawbacks are that it is not yet fully open to the public, so stability and service capability still need to be proven; it has not disclosed API support, integrations with third-party project management/ERP systems, granular permissions, or audit capabilities; and its compliance narrative is clearly centered on the German VOB framework, so international deployment needs further evaluation.
It is suitable for German construction companies, trade contractors, general contractors, and projects using multilingual crews speaking Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian, Albanian, and other languages. It is not suitable as a general-purpose project management platform. Access from mainland China is unknown, and payment methods have not been disclosed. If used for projects in China, key points to evaluate include network connectivity, DeepL availability, cross-border data handling, and local regulations. Alternatives include PlanRadar, Capmo, and 123erfasst; in China, combinations such as DingTalk/WeCom forms or construction management software can serve as substitutes.
