Walk your site and add photos

Walk your site and add photos

A guided walk through every item with no photo yet. Take one shot each, keep moving, and the uploads catch up behind you.

September 28, 2026

A list of equipment names is fine until two of them are called Top Brush. A photo on each item fixes that. The guided walk queues up everything missing one and takes you through it.

What you'll need

  • Available on the Bundle plan, or on a Custom plan that includes Inspections or Services.
  • Only Admins and Super Admins can run the walk.
  • A camera, and equipment in the bay to photograph.

Run the walk

To photograph a bay:

  1. Select My Wash in the side menu, then the bay you're walking.
  2. Select Options, then Walk Site & Add Photos.
  3. Read the intro and select Start.
  4. For each item, take one clear photo of the whole unit.
  5. Select Use photo & next to keep it, or Retake to try again.
  6. Select Skip this item for anything you can't reach right now.

The walk only queues items with no photo yet. Tick Include items that already have a photo on the intro if you're replacing old shots too.

Uploads run in the background while you keep moving, so you're never waiting on a progress bar between items.

What you get at the end

A summary screen: Photos added, Skipped, and a confirmation once everything has synced. Skipped items stay on the bay's list, so you can add their photos any time.

Taking a photo worth keeping

  • Stand back so the full machine is in frame, not one corner of it.
  • Open the bay doors or switch the lights on. Good light beats flash, especially against stainless.
  • One representative photo per item is enough. You can add more later from the item's page.
  • Wipe the lens first. Backroom mist and tunnel spray smear a camera fast.
Good to know
  • Photos you take are held safely until they upload, so losing signal partway round the site doesn't lose your work.
  • Skipping costs nothing. The item stays in the queue for next time rather than being marked done.
  • The walk covers one bay at a time, so run it again for each bay or area.

Common questions

Who can do this?

Only Admins and Super Admins. The walk writes photos onto equipment records.

Can I change a photo later?

Yes. Open the item and replace it, or run the walk again with Include items that already have a photo ticked.

Does this affect my other locations?

No. The walk covers one bay at a time at the location you're in.
