The Products

Everything we build.

DeBe Corporation builds two platforms for the skilled trades — one to run the work, one to run the community — plus Prai, a private offline prayer, Bible and journal app. All of it starts with the person using it and builds upward. Here's everything they do, marked honestly.

CHERP

Construction Hierarchy, Engagement & Resource Platform

Every other tool in construction pushes information down from the office — Procore, BIM360, SharePoint, all built for project managers. None reach the individual tradesman. CHERP builds the record from the bottom up — starting at the field worker and building upward to the foreman, the superintendent, and the office. The number that reaches the top finally reflects what happened on the ground. Accountability, both directions.

    CHERP Service

    The offline field app for commercial MEP service contractors

    CHERP runs GC and self-perform crews. CHERP Service is the edition for service contractors — the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing techs who run a different call every day, often on a rooftop with no signal. It installs, opens with no login, and runs the whole day offline: work orders, jobs, a multi-job time clock, safety, and a full set of MEP field calculators. When there's signal it quietly syncs crew and time back to the office; when there isn't, nothing stops. Same CHERP record — shaped for the service truck.

    CHERP Service Capabilities

    Built for the service truck.

    A focused, offline edition — two roles, MEP-first, no login, no clutter. Marked honestly, same as everything else here.

    CHERP Solo

    The field toolkit for the tradesman working for himself

    CHERP runs the crew. CHERP Service runs the truck. CHERP Solo runs you. It's the single-operator edition — the subcontractor, the side-job guy, the one-man shop who doesn't need a hierarchy, a dispatcher, or a login. Clock in, track the job, take the photos, keep the notes, and see what you actually earned this week. Everything lives on your phone, works with no signal, and asks nothing of you but the tap.

    Closed testing complete · Coming to the Google Play Store soon
    CHERP Solo Capabilities

    No crew. No account. No signal needed.

    The smallest honest version of CHERP — everything one operator needs to get paid correctly, and nothing they don't. Marked honestly, same as everything else here.

    SiteComm

    Where the Skilled Labor Talks

    CHERP runs the work. SiteComm runs the people. It's a worker-owned social network built for the trades — pride, brotherhood, recognition, and support. A place to post a win, throw a shoutout, ask the question you didn't want to ask the foreman, share the jobsite shot, and — on a rough day in an industry that loses too many of its own — reach a trusted circle and real resources without making a scene. Not built top-down by a tech company. Built for the craft, owned by the people in it.

    Android app available now (offline-capable) · cloud community backend in progress

    Prai

    A quiet place to read, pray & reflect

    Not everything we build is for the jobsite. Prai is a private prayer, Bible and journal app that works offline — a quiet place to read Scripture, pray, and keep a journal at the end of the day. Install it to your home screen and the whole Bible, plus everything you write, lives on your device and works with no signal at all. No account, no subscription, no ads, and nothing you write ever leaves your phone. Free, and it installs straight from the browser — there's no app store to go through.
