What it doesMobile field reporting and punch list app for architects and engineers (now under Deltek Delivery Assurance). Capture photos, annotate drawings, log observations and weather, complete punch lists and checklists pinned to plans, assign deficiencies to contractors for photo/comment closeout, and generate company-branded PDF site reports in one click. Integrates with Deltek Vantagepoint and Ajera for project/client data. Vendor says more than 10,000 AEC professionals use it and cites 45 minutes saved per site report (vendor claims). Product page AI mentions point to other Deltek products (e.g. Dela AI Orchestrator), not ArchiSnapper itself, so we tag it Not AI-first.
