Field Report Software

Vela Systems Field Report software simplifies the process of conducting daily logs and field reports. Field Report captures project status data and critical information in the form of a daily "electronic diary." This enables superintendents, field engineers, and project architects to save hours of time each day usually spent transcribing field notes, and improves communication to all parties on project issues and progress. Unlike other traditional paper-based reporting solutions, Field Report provides the ability to capture information electronically, including signatures, photos, mark-ups, and sketches. It instantly generates customizable reports to better analyze and summarize key information.

Before Vela Systems, I had to spend hours retyping field reports from my handwritten notes. Now, with Vela’s Field Report module, I can log my observations electronically on the Tablet PC while I’m on the job and know that they’re entered accurately - without any further retyping.
