Turn field surveys, QC, archiving, and multi-epoch comparison into a deliverable chain: captured data is consistent, verifiable, and easy to submit.

Applicable roles: Field investigator / Ranger / Project lead / Data manager / Acceptance & audit

Pain point 1 (More stable) | Benchmarks drift: sample plots and boundaries are hard to re-visit consistently

Without stable control and repeatable records, teams struggle to relocate original points, making change analysis unreliable.

Workflow 1 | High-precision plot/boundary positioning and re-visit (Measure)

What: Plot setup, boundary positioning, key sample point re-checks

How: Use RTK to establish repeatable control and key points; on-unit screens support rapid start and basic setup; GIS handhelds then scale up routine capture with independent GNSS and structured fields.

Deliverables: Boundary/plot outputs (repeatable) / re-visit records (verifiable)

Recommended kit 1 | Benchmark & re-visit kit

RTK (benchmarks/key points) + management software (archive/export) + GIS handheld (routine capture as needed)

Pain point 2 (More efficient) | Too many fields to collect: office re-entry is slow and error-prone

If data isn't structured in the field, teams spend days re-typing, matching photos, and filling missing fields later.

Workflow 2 | Structured field data capture (Inspect)

What: Capture attributes + photos + notes in a unified form bound to location

How: GIS handhelds provide lightweight, rugged, high-frequency capture; independent GNSS enables work without public networks; structured templates reduce omissions and re-entry.

Deliverables: Structured dataset package (location + attributes + evidence) / upload-ready lists

Recommended kit 2 | Field capture efficiency kit

GIS handheld (structured capture) + management software (templates, aggregation, export)

Pain point 3 (More controllable) | Deliverables and multi-epoch comparison are hard to audit

Without unified criteria, QC and change reports are not repeatable or trusted during acceptance.

Workflow 3 | QC, archiving, and multi-epoch comparison (Manage)

What: QC review, standardized archiving, and multi-epoch change summaries

How: Management software standardizes criteria and exports; portable Windows devices enable on-site QC and report output; RTK/GIS support re-checks and re-capture when required.

Deliverables: Deliverable package (data + notes + evidence) / change comparison reports

Recommended kit 3 | Delivery & comparison kit

Management software (QC/archive/compare/export) + portable Windows tablet/laptop (field QC/output) + RTK/GIS (re-checks when required)
