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.
