Field Data Collection

Field data collection that works in the real world

Make field capture simpler, more consistent, and easier to feed into the rest of your GIS workflow — from asset inspections to environmental monitoring and construction works recording.

Configured Mobile Forms

Custom forms with photo, drop down menus and conditional logic built in.

Works Offline

Collect data in remote areas without connectivity. Sync automatically on return.

Syncs to Your GIS

Field updates flow directly into your central spatial database in near real time.

The problem

When field data doesn't connect to the office.

Many organisations still rely on paper forms, spreadsheets, or consumer apps to collect data in the field — then spend hours manually entering that information into a GIS or asset system back at the office. Data gets lost, duplicated, or entered inconsistently, and by the time it is in the system, conditions on the ground may have already changed.

GIS Pro sets up field data workflows that eliminate these gaps. Data collected on-site flows straight into your central GIS database, so office staff see updates in near real time, and information only needs to be entered once.

The process

From the field to your GIS, automatically

Design the data collection workflow

We work with you to understand what data needs to be captured, by whom, in what context. We design forms, required fields, and data structures around your specific operational requirements.

Configure and test

We set up mobile data collection projects using Mergin Maps, with custom forms, photo capture, and conditional logic built in. We test and validate before deployment.

Deploy to field teams

We install and configure the app on field devices, train staff on how to use it, and confirm that data is syncing correctly to the central GIS database.

Monitor and refine

We support your team through the initial deployment and refine forms and workflows based on real-world feedback, so the system improves over time.

What we deliver

Common use cases

Mining & compliance monitoring

How is this used in mining and environmental compliance?

Sampling and drilling prorgams, Mapping field activities, disturbance, rehabilitation progress, and compliance monitoring — with offline capability for remote areas and an audit trail of all field records.

Asset inspections

What assets can field staff inspect and record using the app?

Roads, paths, signs, drainage, coastal structures, and other infrastructure — inspected and recorded directly on a mobile device, with photos and GPS position captured automatically.

Environmental & vegetation assessments

How does this work for environmental field work?

Environmental and vegetation assessments, species recording, disturbance mapping, and rehabilitation monitoring — with forms configured to match your specific data requirements and reporting obligations.

Construction & maintenance recording

How do works crews use field collection?

Construction and maintenance works recording, including progress photos, location, works type, and completion status — data that flows directly into asset or project management systems.

Heritage & cultural resource surveys

Can this be used for heritage or cultural recording?

Heritage surveys and cultural resource recording with custom forms designed around specific recording standards, photo documentation, and GPS-referenced locations.
