I’m looking for some sort of solution that will allow a remote worker to open an app/site, snap a pic and send it over the service. The pic will be stored in a sender specific folder and manager at a frontend will be notified to review it.

The workers using it will be deployed in the field with access only to the phone, we’re not talking about an office enviroment.

Use case:

I work with a lot of blue collar workers in a field where they are in demand. Most of these workers are literate so they can fill a form, but are tech iliterate and aren’t able or willing to fill the same form on a computer. Add to that these workers are disperesed over a large area (think cities apart) making collecting the paper forms a hard task. Lastly I can’t put them in one Whatsapp group as many of them are contractors and compete over pricing their services, putting them togother will allow them to price fix. Thus I came up with the idea of hosting another service on our servers where I’ll provide each contractor/worker with a key that will identify him to the service, all the contractor needs to do is fill the form physically and snap a pic, the office team will review it.
