CHIEFLOGS Start free →
Built for pipeline inspectors

Pipeline inspection documentation software

Photos, forms, and field reports pile up fast — and end up scattered across a phone's camera roll, a truck laptop, and paper. ChiefLogs reads what you capture and organizes most of it into the right API 1169-aligned sections automatically, routing lower-confidence documents to the Review Queue for a quick check. Your inspection record builds itself while you work, and any filing can be moved in a tap.

Documentation is where inspections go sideways

The inspection is the easy part. The documentation — capturing every material cert, weld report, coating check and daily log, and keeping it organized enough to defend and hand off — is what costs hours and gets records lost between the field and the office. When an operator or auditor asks for evidence, scrambling to reconstruct it is the last thing you want. ChiefLogs keeps the record organized as you build it, not after.

Capture any way you work

Photos in the field

Snap on your phone or tablet, one-handed, in the sun. Most images are filed into the right section automatically, with lower-confidence ones routed to the Review Queue.

Batch-scan at the truck

Drop a scanned folder from your PC and ChiefLogs reads each page, groups them into documents, and files the ones it recognizes.

Works offline

No signal on the right-of-way? Keep capturing — documents upload the moment you're back in range.

Organized to API 1169 recommended practices

Instead of a folder of loose files, your documentation lands in the job-book section structure inspectors and operators expect — Materials & Traceability, Welding & NDE, Coating & Corrosion, Pressure Testing & Commissioning, and the rest. Anything the software isn't confident about goes to a quick Review Queue so you stay in control of the filing.
