Built for pipeline inspectors

Build job books
in the field.

As you capture photos, forms, and reports in the field, ChiefLogs™ files most of them into the right section of your job book automatically — routing lower-confidence documents to the Review Queue for a quick check — organized to the API 1169 recommended-practice structure inspectors and operators expect. Your job book comes together while you work, and any filing can be moved in a tap.

From first doc to final job book

Three steps. No extra software. No desk required.

1

Start a job

Enter the AFE number, operator, and job details. Ready to work in under a minute — from your phone, tablet, or laptop.

2

Document in the field

Capture photos, forms, and inspection notes as you go. Most documents are sorted into the right section automatically, and lower-confidence ones go to the Review Queue for a quick check — any filing can be moved in a tap.

3

Deliver the job book

When the job wraps, your complete job book is ready — organized to API 1169 best practice, professional, and ready to hand off to the operator or client.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

ChiefLogs is built around how pipeline inspectors actually work — not how office software thinks you should.

Built for the way you work

Designed for the field — one-handed, in the sun, in work gloves. No training, no manual. If you can pull up your texts, you can log a document.

Organized to API 1169 best practice

Every document, photo, and report files into the job-book section structure API 1169 lays out — the recommended practice that defines how a pipeline inspection record should be built. No manual filing, no hunting later.

AI-assisted classification

Upload a document and ChiefLogs identifies most documents and routes them to the right section automatically, sending lower-confidence ones to the Review Queue for a quick check — and any filing can be moved in a tap. Less decision-making, more inspection work.

Hand-off-ready job books

When the job wraps, your complete job book is already built — organized, professional, and ready to deliver to the operator or client. No late nights assembling paperwork.

Capture any way you work

Snap photos on your phone or tablet in the field, or batch-scan a stack on your PC back at the truck. Every page lands in the same job book — your work follows you across every device.

Works where the signal doesn't

Right-of-way with no bars? Keep capturing. ChiefLogs holds your documents on your device and uploads them automatically the moment you're back in range — designed so your work isn't lost.

Built for the inspector —
not the back office.

The serious pipeline software is built for operators. The general field apps are built for contractors. ChiefLogs is built for you — and for the API 1169 job book you actually have to deliver.

Enterprise platforms
Built for operators

Powerful pipeline systems — but IT-deployed, priced for companies, and aimed at the office above you. Not something an inspector signs up for and uses on site.

Generic field apps
Built for contractors

Good at snapping and sorting photos — but they don't know API 1169, and they don't assemble a job book. You're still doing the filing.

ChiefLogs
Built for the inspector

Capture in the field and your documents file into the API 1169-aligned job-book structure — most automatically, with a quick review for the rest — ready to hand off when the job ends. On your phone, free to start.
