Field Capture Client
Local-first Android app for capturing field data — barcodes, photos, GPS, meter readings, and custom forms — delivered to your backend when connectivity allows.
What It Can Do For You
Insurance Inventory
Walk through your property scanning barcodes and photographing items. Build a timestamped record of everything you own — ready when you need it for a claim.
Utility Readings
Capture meter readings with a photo, GPS location, and timestamp in one step. Maintain a structured log that can feed directly into your billing or reporting system.
Field Service & Repairs
Capture notes, photos, and GPS on site. Data queues locally and submits to your backend automatically when back in range — no fighting unreliable connectivity.
Stock & Asset Tracking
Scan barcodes or QR codes to log stock movements, equipment check-ins, and asset inspections. Structured data goes exactly where your system expects it.
Inspection & Compliance
Run structured inspection checklists with photo evidence and sign-off fields. Submissions carry a full delivery history — every retry logged, nothing lost.
Survey & Data Collection
Build custom survey workflows with text, number, select, date, audio, and GPS steps. Deploy updated workflows to all devices by updating the remote workflow source — no app update needed.
How It Works
Configure workflows
Define capture steps — what to collect, in what order. Host workflows remotely so devices stay in sync automatically.
Capture in the field
Run a workflow on the device. Scan, photograph, record — everything stored locally in SQLite, no connectivity required.
Automatic delivery
A background worker queues submissions and delivers them when connectivity returns — exponential backoff, automatic retry, full attempt history.
Data in your system
Data arrives at your API or webhook as structured JSON with multipart media attachments — ready to process, store, or forward.
