For Survey, Monitoring & Watching Briefs

Don't Look Down.
Voice-First Monitoring.

Built for high-volume field recording: surveys, watching briefs, monitoring. FieldLog is the heads-up tool for Survey, Watching Briefs, and Linear Infrastructure.

Note: FieldLog is not trying to replace excavation context recording systems. We focus on survey & monitoring workflows.

The "Walking" Gap

The Excavation Tool

Great for deep stratigraphy, but...

  • Too slow for moving plant/machinery.
  • "Nothing found" takes 5 minutes to log.
  • Frequent screen time near moving plant is a safety risk.
Built for Speed

The FieldLog Way

Perfect for Survey & Monitoring.

  • Voice-First: Keep gloves on, eyes up on the hazard.
  • Instant Photos: Auto-tagged to location & chainage.
  • Negative Evidence: Log "Clear" in 5 seconds.
  • Linear Aware: Logs chainage & locations automatically.

Field-Tested Workflows

Watching Briefs

Stand next to the excavator. Speak what you see. We log the timestamp, GPS location, and transcription automatically.

Safety Compliant

Walkover Survey

Snap a photo of a surface find. Dictate "Medieval pottery, green glaze." The agent classifies it and plots it on the master map instantly.

No Manual Plotting

Asset Condition

Rapidly audit scheduled monuments or historic buildings. "Fence damaged, north side." Auto-generates the deficiency report.

Automated Reporting

The "Sidecar" Strategy

We don't replace your master database. We feed it.

Keep your deep excavation data in its current home. Use FieldLog as the Middleware Layer to accelerate high-volume survey data.

  • ArcGIS Feature Layers (AGOL/Enterprise)

    We implement a custom REST Client to push observations directly to your ArcGIS Feature Services.

  • PostGIS (QGIS-ready)

    For QGIS users, we provide direct PostGIS access. Your GIS team can view live layers simply by connecting to the database.

  • Middleware Reporting

    Our middleware engine sits between the field and your archive, automatically structuring raw observations into compliance-ready data for your daily logs and negative evidence reports.

Built for the Reality

We know the job. It's wet, it's fast, and the machinery is loud. FieldLog solves the three biggest headaches of the commercial archaeologist.

Rain, Mud & Gloved Hands

Touchscreens fail in the rain. Paper turns to mush. FieldLog is Voice-First. Keep your gloves on, phone in your pocket, and record data without touching a screen.

The "Nothing Found" Grind

90% of monitoring is recording "No Archaeology." It's tedious but is required for contract/compliance. We turned it into a 5-second voice macro that logs time, location, and negative evidence instantly.

Eyes on the Machine

Standing next to a 360° excavator requires full attention. You can't be looking down at a tablet. FieldLog lets you record observations while keeping your eyes up on the hazard.
