DeBe Corporation builds CHERP and SiteComm — a field operations platform and a jobsite community, both written by tradesmen, for tradesmen. We didn't study this industry from a conference room. We worked in it.
Every tool in construction is built top-down. Procore, BIM360, SharePoint — software designed for the office, handed down to the field. The people doing the actual work get the least useful version of it, and the numbers that reach management rarely match what happened on the ground.
We build the other way. Start at the field worker — their trade, their tools, their daily workflow — and build upward to the foreman, the superintendent, and the office. When the data starts where the work happens, the number at the top finally tells the truth. That's CHERP.
But the work isn't only timecards and JSAs. It's the people. So we built SiteComm — a worker-owned community where the skilled labor talks: wins, shoutouts, hard questions, and, in an industry that loses too many of its own, a place to reach out on a rough day. Two platforms, one belief — the field is the source of truth, and the worker deserves both the better tool and the louder voice.
That conviction shows up in every decision: trade-aware because a pipefitter isn't an electrician, offline-first because job sites lose signal, your-data-is-yours because it is, and patent-pending ownership tracing because every record should have an owner. Accountability, both directions.
The same conviction is why we built our second consumer app, Prai. The day ends, the truck gets parked, and what a person carries home isn't a timecard. Prai is a private prayer, Bible and journal app that works completely offline — the whole Bible on your device, a place to pray, and a journal nobody else can read. No account, no subscription, nothing transmitted anywhere. Different audience, same rule: it belongs to the person using it, and it works when the signal doesn't. It's free at prai.live ↗.
If it doesn't work for the worker on the job site, it doesn't ship. The field is the source of truth.
We don't overstate — capabilities and compliance are described exactly as far as they're proven.
The tools and the community belong to the people using them. Your data is yours — we never sell it.
DeBe Corporation was founded by people who came up through the trades — who clocked in, ran crews, filled out the JSAs, and watched good work get lost between the field and the office. We started DeBe to fix that, for the worker first. We keep the spotlight on the product and the people it serves rather than on ourselves. Want to talk to a person? Reach out here.
