Field work, on a single map

Hub4Gis is for anyone who awards work to contractors and wants to know, without phone calls or spreadsheets, what is done, what is missing and what has to be redone.

What it is

A web application for managing field work on a map. The company defines what needs doing and awards it to its contractors; each contractor fills in and photographs their work on a phone; the company approves or returns it. The typical example is telecommunications networks, but the product is generic: it suits any work made of elements located in the territory.

How it works

  1. Define the element types

    Each type (a pole, a box, a cable section…) has its own fields: text, numbers, dates, lists, photographs. You choose which are the company's, which are the contractor's and which are required.

  2. Bring the elements onto the map

    Draw them directly on the map or import them from GeoJSON and CSV files. Group them into projects.

  3. Award them to contractors

    Pick the elements, the contractor and the deadline. The contractor is notified by email.

  4. The contractor works in the field

    In the phone app they see only the elements awarded to them, on the map or as a list, fill in the fields and take photographs. If the network drops, saved changes and photographs stay on the phone and are sent when it returns.

  5. Approve or return

    The company reviews each submitted element and approves it, or returns it with a reason. When all elements are approved, the work order is complete.

  6. Export

    Download projects and work orders as Excel or GeoJSON, with the fields and links to the photographs.

Advantages

Configurable fields, no programming

Forms are built from the definition the company makes. Changing a field needs no development work.

Field app

Designed for the phone: large controls, camera, and saves that are not lost when the network is weak. It installs on the home screen.

Contractors kept apart

Each contractor sees only what was awarded to them. Never another contractor's work, nor the fields the company marked as internal.

One installation per client

Each client has its own address, its own database and its own branding. One client's data never mixes with another's.

Security

Two-factor authentication, data on a server in the European Union, daily backups and a record of changes.

Portuguese and English

The interface is available in Portuguese and English, chosen by each user.

Who it is for

Companies that split work among several contractors and need to follow and validate it:

  • The company awarding the work defines it, follows progress and deadlines, and approves or returns.
  • Contractors receive clear work and fill it in and photograph it on site, with no paper.
  • Networks and works spread over the territory, such as telecommunications, where each element has a position and needs proof of what was done.
