How it works

Set up, capture, review, export

01

Set up in minutes

Upload your P6 or MS Project schedule and assign supervisors. They join by scanning a QR code.

02

Capture on site

Supervisors tick weighted steps and add photos, videos and a note. Geotagged, timestamped, offline.

03

Planner reviews

You check the field record and decide how it sits in the program. Nothing is applied without you.

04

Export to P6

Export a P6-ready XLSX keyed by Activity ID. Physical %, actual dates and remaining duration import straight into P6.

Straight into P6

Approved field records and new activity lines appear in your schedule

A Primavera P6 schedule with physical percent complete updated on activities, one highlighted in red

Physical % complete, actual dates and remaining duration import by Activity ID, onto the activities they belong to (here, the highlighted one). New scope the planner approves comes across as new activity lines. No re-keying, no chasing for status.

Where it shines

Made for project teams using P6 and Microsoft Project

Contractors and subcontractors

Running your own standalone P6 or MS Project, not Oracle cloud.

Planners and project controls

Trustworthy field progress, with no manual re-keying.

Shutdowns and turnarounds

Progress changes by the hour. Capture it as it happens and never chase a number.

Unplanned work

Record new scope as it happens.

When a crew hits unplanned work, the supervisor records it on the spot with photos, video and a geotag. Where it goes is the planner's call, and nothing is added to the schedule without their approval. Anything that may be a variation is flagged for your commercial team and collects into a dated pack.

Captured in place

Photo, video, geotag and capture time, the moment it happens.

Nothing added without approval

The planner reviews each report; it reaches the schedule only once approved.

Append-only evidence pack

Records are never deletable, and collect into a dated pack for your CA or QS.

Built by project planners and engineers who know P6

Everything else, without drifting into scheduling

Rules of credit

Computed physical % from ticked, weighted steps, never a guess.

Offline-first

Capture with zero signal, and everything syncs the moment you're back in range.
