CHALLENGE

TabLogs is an Australian GeoTechnical Engineering start-up focused on bridging the process gap between drillers and engineers on worksites.

The founder of TabLogs identified an industry-wide problem, where many GeoTech companies were struggling to operate effectively because of clunky, paper-based systems.

For these companies, on-site reporting of geological conditions is essential and many still manage this process manually. For the employee, this involves creation of a paper status report during inspection, taking photos of the geo status and then combining these into a final report using excel once back at the office.

Manual processing of such information is a highly outdated concept, and for GeoTech companies it resulted in the following challenges:

Human errors were consistently made when manually creating the geo status inspection report on-site.

Inspections were highly time-consuming due to the manual creation of reports.

Photos taken in remote areas where network coverage was unavailable resulted in essential data missing.

Including photos of the geo condition in final reports was non-intuitive.

Essential information was delayed reaching the office.

Multiple people could not access the data simultaneously.

Staff and company productivity was heavily restricted.
