The clipboard still works. The packet is the problem.

Most shops already log temperature on paper or in a group text. RestShade keeps that same daily habit, then evaluates the reading, versions the written plan, and builds the inspector packet so Tuesday is not missing when someone asks.

RestShade vs a clipboard

A clipboard is free, familiar, and fast for one site on a clear day.
It falls behind when you add a second property, a smoke day, Spanish training acknowledgments, or a broker request.
RestShade is $79 per month on Crew after a 14-day trial. The product is the record, not a new field gadget.

A clipboard vs RestShade

The reading evaluates a rule On paper, 96 F is a number. In RestShade it is high-heat duties with a citation, a checklist, and a supervisor sign-off stored on the record.
Plans stay next to the logs A Word HIIP in the office and a clipboard in the truck drift apart. RestShade versions the plan from the procedures you already use and files the action-day log beside it.
Training is not a stack of signed pages in a cab Typed acknowledgments and an annual due date live on the roster. The packet lists who is current.
Send a PDF the same afternoon Brokers and consultants ask for procedures and recent logs. RestShade builds that packet without a weekend of scanning.

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to throw out the clipboard? No. Many shops still keep a field card. RestShade is the system of record so the office can produce the packet without reconstructing the week from photos of paper.
Is RestShade overkill for one crew and one roof? If you never add a second site, never hit a smoke day, and never get asked for logs, paper can be enough. The trial is 14 days so you can file real logs before you decide.
What if we already have a Word HIIP? A plan without action-day logs is a brochure. RestShade generates the plan from your procedures and stores the signed readings that prove you used it on hot and smoky days.
How much is it compared with paper? Crew is $79 per month. Outfit is $149 per month. Yearly billing saves 10%. One missed shade day or one scramble before an inspection usually costs more than a month of Crew.
