What changes with mobile data capture on site?
The difference shows up not in a feature list but in daily work: less searching, less double work, less guesswork. Here is the before-and-after.
Today
- 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 start2x
- 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.
One central dashboard instead of a new island
We build roles, functions and data exchange across your processes. That way 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 flows across all processes: captured once, current everywhere.
- The solution is yours, including source code.

Free process analysisCustom software for a construction company
For a construction company we built a complete custom solution from scratch that brings costing, quotes, invoices and internal communication together in one place, instead of separate tools and spreadsheets.
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.
How 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.
Process analysis
We look at your concrete workflows: which tools, which steps, where time is lost. The result is a clear list of the biggest levers.
Fixed-price calculation
You get a concrete proposal with a fixed price and timeline per block, including the spots where software adds nothing.
First block live
In short cycles we build the first usable block and put it into daily use, instead of developing hidden away for months.
Operation & growth
Further blocks come together in the central dashboard. We maintain, fold in feedback and keep evolving with your company.
What does an app for mobile job capture cost?
You get a calculated flat-rate offer. Upfront we agree together which processes are worth optimising, so every investment pays off through less time spent, lower costs and fewer headaches.
Frequently asked questions about mobile data capture
Does the app work without internet on the construction site?
Yes, the app works without internet on the construction site. Capture is offline-capable, so your people book hours, materials and photos even without a signal. As soon as the device is back online, everything syncs to the office automatically, entirely without manual work.
Does the app run on the devices we already have?
Usually the app runs on the devices you already have. A mobile capture runs on common smartphones and tablets, often right in the browser, without you having to buy new hardware. What makes sense in your business we clarify beforehand.
Do we have to switch our existing software for this?
No, you don’t have to switch your existing software for this. We connect the mobile capture to what you already work with, such as your order or accounting software. It’s captured once on site, and from there the data flows into your systems instead of being maintained twice.
Is it worth it even for a small field team?
It’s often worth it even for a small field team. The value comes not only from the saved re-typing, but from complete billing, less forgotten material and an office status without any wait. We say honestly when it pays off for you.
Mobile capture in detail
Everything worth reading up on: when it pays off, how we work and what we watch for on control and data protection.
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.
