Field Reporting
Field reporting that documents the day, not the desk
Supervisors describe the day, take photos, and brief crews like they always have. Now the daily reports, handovers, and site diaries draft themselves, ready for review and sign-off.
Powered by Storm
Voice notes, photos, and site context become completed field records, automatically.
Built in Dashpivot
One platform for field reporting, safety, quality, inductions, and timesheets.
Works offline
Capture field data on-site with the mobile app, even without internet.
Audit-ready
Every record is timestamped, geotagged, and signed for full project history.
Trusted by companies, projects and teams of all sizes
What is a Field Reporting Management System?
A field reporting management system is how site teams document daily work on a project, from daily reports and site diaries to shift handovers and progress updates.
Field reporting software brings it into one place: records captured on-site, photos and weather attached automatically, and a traceable project history.
Why use a Field Reporting Management System
Build defensible project history
A field reporting system captures every shift, every condition, and every milestone. When disputes arrive, the evidence is there.
Capture context as the work happens
Photos, weather, crew numbers, and progress get logged at the source rather than reconstructed from memory days later.
Strengthen variation and claim defensibility
Daily reports and site diaries are often the only record of what actually happened. A field reporting system makes them defensible.
Real-time project visibility
Clients, project managers, and head office stay in the loop without chasing supervisors for updates.
Reduce supervisor admin burden
Site supervisors spend less time on end-of-day paperwork, more time running the job.
Scale reporting consistency
One reporting system means consistent format, terminology, and detail across every project, site, and shift.
Every field workflow, powered by AI, controlled by your team
From daily reports and site diaries to shift handovers and progress updates, here's how teams use Dashpivot to run their field reporting. AI handles the documentation. Your team stays in control.
Daily Report
Daily reports draft themselves from weather, crew check-ins, and progress photos throughout the day. No more late-night paperwork, no more reports filed from memory.
Weather and site data captured throughout the day
Weather pulls automatically from device location and timestamp. Crew check-ins, equipment on site, and progress photos are logged as the day unfolds.
Transcribed from voice notes
Voice descriptions of work completed, delays, and issues are mapped into the right report sections.
Reviewed and submitted at day's end
The supervisor reviews the drafted report, adds tomorrow's plan, and submits. No staying back for paperwork.
Site Diary
Site diaries build themselves from photos, voice notes, and weather captured throughout the day. No more writing from memory, no more lost details.
Weather and site activity captured throughout the day
Photos, voice notes, weather, crew movements, and visitor check-ins are logged as they happen, structured chronologically.
Transcribed from supervisor notes
Voice notes about decisions made, instructions received, and issues encountered are mapped to the correct diary sections.
Signed off before heading home
The supervisor reviews the drafted diary, adds context, and approves. A complete daily record exists without the end-of-day paperwork rush.
Progress Report
Progress reports compile themselves from daily site activity and supervisor notes. No more end-of-week scrambles, no more guessed completion percentages.
Compiled from daily activity
Voice notes, photos, and crew check-ins captured across the reporting period flow into the report automatically.
Transcribed from supervisor input
Voice notes on completion status, key issues, and risks are mapped to the right report sections.
Reviewed before client submission
The project manager adjusts completion percentages, adds context about delays or changes, and approves before submitting.
Shift Report
Shift reports draft themselves from progress photos, voice notes, and logged activities throughout the shift. No more rushed handovers, no more missing context for the next crew.
Captured during the shift
Progress photos, materials used, equipment on site, and crew activities are captured during the shift automatically.
Transcribed from voice notes
Voice descriptions of work completed, issues encountered, and safety observations are mapped to the report.
Handed over before knock-off
The supervisor adds notes about the next shift's priorities and signs off. The incoming crew gets full context without anyone staying late.
