Surveyors and building inspectors play a crucial role in ensuring construction and safety. To do their job, they go to multiple places and make use of a variety of surveying equipment like a total station, laser level, tripod for surveying, theodolite, GNSS receiver, and other land survey tools.
Keeping track of all these items, along with inspection reports, can be difficult and time-consuming. That’s where inventory and asset tracking software can help.
Common Problems Faced by Surveyors and Inspectors
Surveyors and inspectors often deal with issues like:
-
Misplacing or losing tools such as surveying prisms, surveying rods, or a digital level.
-
Not knowing which construction laser or automatic level is available or in use.
-
Forgetting when a tool needs calibration, like a rotating laser level or data collector.
-
Wasting time looking for inspection records.
-
Carrying lots of paperwork to each site instead of relying on digital field survey kits.
These challenges can slow down their work and lead to mistakes or delays.

1. Track Tools and Equipment Easily
Each item whether it’s a laser level, theodolite, or even smaller surveying accessories—can have a barcode or QR code. You can scan it to instantly see details like:
- Who has the item
- Where it is
- When it was last used
This helps reduce loss and keeps everything organized.
2. Access Information Anywhere
Since everything is stored in the cloud, surveyors and inspectors can check or update records from the field using a laptop or phone. No need to return to the office just to find a file.
3. Store Inspection Reports
You can attach reports or notes to each asset. For example, storing test results for a digital level or calibration records for a GNSS receiver. This makes it easy to track the history of inspections and work done on a building or site.
