About us

We build the instrument for work done in the field

FieldOps exists because the field is usually recorded twice, and the second record, typed up later at a desk, is the one that survives.

The problem we set out to fix

A notebook is keyed up weeks later and the two versions quietly disagree. Photographs sit in a camera roll, unlinked to the point they belong to. Coordinates are retyped, so every station is a chance for a transcription error. Supervisors cannot see a party until it comes back. And data that cannot be reconstructed can only be collected again, at full cost.

FieldOps records the work once, where it happens: drawn, measured, photographed and described on site, with the evidence attached and the team able to see it, whether or not there is a signal.

What we believe

Principles we build by

No signal is the normal case

Every feature is designed to work offline first and to reconcile honestly when the connection returns.

Your data is never a hostage

Everything leaves as a file in an open format (Shapefile, DXF, KML, GeoJSON, CSV, PDF) whenever you want it.

Nobody is added silently

Access is by membership. Invitations wait until they are accepted, and managers are named per project.

Purpose-built, not bolted on

A survey and data-collection tool with communication built in, not a chat app with a map attached.

Simple to start

Registration by phone number. No approval queue, no store account required to begin, no IT ticket.

Evidence behind every record

Coordinates, time, author and photographs on each submission, so the record holds up to review.
