The WhatsApp alternative for the construction site.
WhatsApp is fast — but after three projects, no one can find the photos, the measurements, or who promised what. Skava keeps the speed (chat, voice memo) and adds structure to it: everything in the right project, memos become service items, tasks, and invoices.

WhatsApp vs. Skava — the difference.
Many businesses organize their construction site via WhatsApp groups. It works at first — until photos, voice messages, and agreements disappear in an endless thread and at the end of the month nobody knows what needs to be invoiced. Skava is just as easy as a messenger, but separates by project and turns what's said into usable data.
| Aspect | WhatsApp Group | Skava |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | One long thread for everything | Separate projects & subchats |
| Voice memo | Stays an audio file | Becomes service item, task, invoice |
| Photos & documents | Disappear in the thread | Stored per construction site & easy to find |
| Tasks | As text, easily overlooked | Assigned, with status & due date |
| Invoicing | Manually search chat | From captured service items with one click |
| Data & GDPR | Private account, US provider | Server in Germany, GDPR compliant |
| Private/Business | Gets mixed up | Own app for business |
