01 · Form Builder

Build any form in minutes, no coding required

Drag fields onto the canvas, set requirements and conditional logic, and publish to the whole team instantly. Convert your existing paper forms exactly as they are; your crews shouldn't have to relearn documentation they already know.

  • 18+ field types: text, dropdowns, checkboxes, tables, ratings, dates
  • Digital signature, photo capture, and GPS fields
  • Required fields and show/hide conditional logic
  • Version control: every published revision is archived
  • Clone and adapt templates across departments

02 · Offline Field App

Complete forms anywhere, even without signal

The offline-first mobile app keeps working in the gravel pit, down the grid road, or three storeys underground. Submissions queue locally and sync automatically the moment a connection returns. Nothing is lost.

  • Full offline form capture and local queueing
  • Automatic background sync
  • Camera, signature, and GPS capture in the field
  • Android app, or install from the browser (no app store needed)

03 · Service Requests

  • Embeddable widget for your existing website
  • Automatic routing by category and location
  • Priority levels and SLA tracking
  • Requester status notifications

  • One-click conversion from request to work order
  • Crew assignment and scheduling
  • Materials, equipment, and time logging
  • Completion photos and sign-off

05 · Compliance & Audit

Audit-ready at the click of a button

Every submission, approval, edit, and export is logged with a timestamp and user attribution. When the auditor arrives, you filter, click Export, and hand over a complete package. No filing cabinets, no email archaeology.

  • Tamper-evident activity log with an integrity check
  • One-click PDF and spreadsheet exports
  • Filter by date range, form type, crew, or site

06 · Team Collaboration

Keep your team connected and organized

  • Audio and video calls with screen sharing
  • Announcements with acknowledgement and reminders
  • Retention, legal hold and transcript export
