How to Get Started with Saguaro

From sign-up to running your first AI takeoff — everything you need to know in one place.

First — important to know

Saguaro is a web-based platform — nothing to download

Unlike traditional software, Saguaro runs entirely in your web browser — just like Gmail, QuickBooks Online, or Procore. There is no installer, no .exe file, and no App Store download required on your computer.

To access Saguaro: Open any browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox) on any device and go to saguarocontrol.net/app. Log in and your full platform is right there. Bookmark it.

Step 1

Create Your Account

Takes 30 seconds. No credit card required — your 30-day free trial starts immediately.

1

Go to saguarocontrol.net/signup

Open your browser and navigate to the signup page.

2

Enter your name, work email, and password

Use your real work email — this is where confirmation and billing notices will be sent.

3

Enter your company name and team size

This sets up your company workspace. You can change it later.

4

Click "Start Free Trial"

Your account is created instantly. You'll receive a confirmation email — click the link inside to activate.

5

Confirm your email

Check your inbox for an email from Saguaro. Click the confirmation link. You're in.

Step 2

Log In and Access Your Dashboard

Your platform is ready the moment your account is confirmed — no setup required on your end.

Open your browser → go to saguarocontrol.net/app

Works in Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox — on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, and Chromebook. No software install. No IT department. Just a browser.

Bookmark this now: saguarocontrol.net/app — this is your homepage for everything. Add it to your browser favorites and your phone home screen.
Step 3 (Recommended)

Install on Your Phone — No App Store Needed

Saguaro Field is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — it installs directly from your browser onto your phone home screen. Your crew gets GPS clock-in, daily logs, photos, and RFIs — offline-capable.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need to download or install anything?
No. Saguaro is entirely web-based. You access it at saguarocontrol.net in any browser. The only optional "install" is adding the site to your phone home screen, which takes 10 seconds.
What browser should I use?
Chrome or Safari give the best experience. Edge and Firefox also work fully. Internet Explorer is not supported.
Can my field crew use it without a computer?
Yes — that's exactly what the mobile app is for. Add saguarocontrol.net to their iPhone or Android home screen and they can clock in with GPS, submit daily logs, take photos, and file RFIs from the job site.
How many users can I add?
Unlimited. Your flat subscription covers every person at your company — PMs, estimators, supers, field crew, accounting, and owners. We will never charge you per seat.
What happens when my trial ends?
You'll be prompted to choose a plan and enter payment info. If you don't, your account is paused (not deleted) and your data is preserved for 30 days. No surprise charges.
Can I migrate from Procore or Buildertrend?
Yes — and it's free. We migrate your projects, contacts, documents, and history. Our team handles everything and gets you live in 1 business day. Email support@saguarocontrol.net to start.
