Mobile data capture on site: no more paper slips and re-typing
- Captured on site instead of on paper and from memory
- Offline-capable, syncing runs automatically
- The office has everything at once, without re-typing
One dashboard
All blocks connected, each role sees only theirs.
What changes with mobile data capture on site?
Manual work and scattered islands become one connected flow: data is captured once, roles are clear, and recurring steps run automatically.
Without us
- Timesheets on paperWorking hours are noted on slips, re-typed at the office and topped up from memory with gaps.
- Materials and measurements slip throughMaterials used and measurements sit on notepads, and some are simply forgotten and never billed.
- Photos and documents scatteredPhotos from the job sit on private phones, delivery notes in the glovebox, none of it tied to the order.
- The office finds out too lateThe current status only arrives in the evening or at month-end, once the paper slips come in.
With us
- Hours captured on siteWorking hours are booked at the job site and belong to the order right away.
- Materials and measurements documented cleanlyMaterials used and measurements are captured on site, so nothing gets lost anymore.
- Photos and documents on the orderPhotos, delivery notes and damage hang directly on the right order, without searching.
- The office has the status at onceAs soon as there’s signal, everything is synced and usable at the office, without re-typing.
Capture everything on site, the office has it at once
Single captures or the whole mobile job handling, connected to your systems.
Time capture by app
Working hours are booked onto the order on site, instead of onto a timesheet from memory later.
Capture materials and measurements
Materials used and measurements are documented on site and tied to the order, so nothing gets lost.
Photos and damage documentation
Photos of the condition, of damage or of the finished work hang directly on the right order.
Checklists and jobs
Jobs, inspection steps and checklists sit on the device on site and get ticked off instead of on paper.
Offline-capable with sync
Capture works without a signal too, on a construction site or in the field. As soon as there’s signal again, the app syncs automatically.
Delivery notes and status updates
Delivery notes, status updates and feedback run digitally, so the office sees the status in real time.
A central dashboard instead of isolated islands
We build roles, functions and data exchange across the processes in your company, so every additional feature creates real relief, instead of becoming yet another island.
- Clear roles: each person sees exactly what they need for their work.
- Functions that interlock, instead of isolated island tools.
- Data exchange across all processes: captured once, current everywhere.
Direct line
Till & Richard
We answer your enquiry personally and show you in the concept call where a solution has the biggest leverage.
Book a concept callHow does rolling out a field service app work?
No mammoth project that only shows results after a year. We put a working solution into use early and evolve it together with you.
Get to know each other
We listen and understand your process: where time is lost and what really gets stuck day to day.
A clear proposal
You get an honest, pragmatic path forward, including where software or AI wouldn’t help.
Quickly in use
In short cycles, an early version you can use in daily work takes shape, instead of months of hidden development.
Better together
With real feedback from practice we keep improving. The solution grows with your business.
What does an app for mobile job capture cost?
We work with fixed prices per block instead of open-ended timesheets. That keeps the investment predictable and lets you start deliberately with exactly what has the biggest impact right now.
What’s included
- Free, no-obligation first call
- Fixed price per block, no open-ended timesheets
- A first usable version in use early
- Source code and solution belong to you
- Fair evolution at your pace, without lock-in
Where can your business speed up?

Does the app work without internet on the construction site?

Mobile capture in detail
Mobile data capture means that everything happening in the field is captured in the field too: hours, materials, measurements, photos, checklists, delivery notes and status updates. Instead of landing on paper or in someone’s head, the details go straight into an app on a smartphone or tablet, offline-capable and tied to the right order. The office works from the same data, without anyone re-typing slips.
It pays off as soon as things are regularly captured outside and reconciled inside: field service, construction sites, installation, service or delivery. The more timesheets, material lists and photos come together, the greater the value, because it removes not only the re-typing but also forgotten material, delayed billing and searching for documents.
We start with the capture that slows you down most, e.g. the timesheet or the measurement, and get it onto the devices early. That way your people gain real value in the field quickly, instead of waiting for one big project. From there we expand to materials, photos, checklists and the connection to the office.
On a construction site and in the field, a signal can’t be taken for granted, so capture works fully offline. The data stays safely on the device until there’s a connection again, then the app syncs automatically. That way nothing gets lost, even if there was no signal all day.
We connect captured data to your existing systems so it’s captured once and usable everywhere, instead of being maintained twice. Access is clearly governed so everyone only sees what they need, and how personal data and photos are handled is aligned with you.
