Layer has allowed my company to deliver many of our projects faster and with greater ease. For my industry, Layer's ability to attach pictures, descriptions, and other information to specific points in a building while simultaneously adding them into a searchable, robust database greatly improves our workflow to become more organized and faster.

Layer is very impressive and intuitive. When you see that a conversation about the flooring material in a specific room in a specific building can be found in seconds and that can happen over and over all day long, it’s amazing how much time and money using Layer would save.

Layer’s support team has helped us speed up the time it takes us to accomplish our goals. Once you have a Layer template set up, the rest is easy peasy. The fields are already there because I copied it from the original template. All I need to do is input the data.
