Company profile
researched Aug 2026Sitemate is an Australian-founded software company serving companies in what it calls the built world — infrastructure, construction, energy and resources, and manufacturing. Its products digitise and automate front line paperwork such as safety permits, job safety analyses and incident reports, quality records including inspection and test plans, defect reports and commissioning sheets, daily field reports and shift summaries, timesheets, dockets and daywork records, fleet pre-starts and fault reports, and tools and equipment tracking. Workflows are built through a drag-and-drop, no-code form builder supporting conditional logic and multi-stage approval chains, and records can be captured offline and synced later.
The company operates a suite of platforms: Dashpivot, its flagship systems cloud where workflows are created and run; Flowsite, a no-code integration and automation platform connecting field data to finance, payroll and business systems with off-the-shelf connectors for Microsoft and Xero; Gearbelt, an asset and fleet management platform acquired as Nomad Fleet; and the Sitemate mobile app, a free front line access layer providing workers with a QR-code-based digital ID that requires no email or password and travels with them between sites and employers. Integration is also offered via an Open API and an MCP server giving external AI tools permissioned read access to Dashpivot data.
Its AI layer, marketed as Storm, generates digital templates from a text description, converts existing PDF, Word, Excel or photographed paper forms into digital templates, and drafts completed forms from voice notes, photos, typed notes, weather, location and time data, extracting names, times, quantities and materials into form fields. Storm supports multilingual input and output, and drafts are flagged for human review, edit or approval before submission. Enterprise controls include configurable AI governance at workspace, template, workflow and field level, full activity logging and audit trails, and role-based access.
Founding story
Co-founders Hartley Pike (CEO, Bachelor of Engineering Civil Structures) and Sam McDonnell (VP of Product Strategy, Bachelor of Industrial Design) built the company around the paper-based, manual and fragmented processes Pike experienced as an engineer on construction sites. The company states its mission as "multiplying the engineering power of the built world" — freeing trades, engineers and technicians from administrative burden and burnout.
Business model
Sitemate sells subscription software platforms to companies operating in the built world. The Sitemate mobile app and worker digital ID are provided free with no per-user fee or sign-up cost, with companies paying for the underlying Dashpivot or Gearbelt platforms that the app connects to.
Paid subscriptions to its software platforms (Dashpivot, Gearbelt and related products), with a free front line worker app acting as an access layer; free trials and demos are offered as an entry point.
Traction
Reported almost 2,000 customers and 120 global employees as of August 2024, and more than 1,000 ratings globally. Headcount grew from 18 to over 70 employees in the 18 months to November 2023 and to 120 by August 2024. The company cited world-class net revenue retention in its Pre-Series A round and said it received term sheets from US investors for a full Series A but chose a smaller raise. Published customer outcomes include a UK housing contractor running projects across six regions on one platform, a 500-plus employee contractor operating across six regions, and a marine/offshore customer reporting 40+ hours saved per field worker per month and 600+ reports compiled into 71 completions in under 48 hours.
