Your job book completeness
Stop assembling job books by hand.
ChiefLogs™ reads the photos, forms, and reports you capture in the field and files most of them into the right API 1169-aligned job-book sections automatically — routing lower-confidence documents to the Review Queue for a quick check — so your turnover package builds itself while you work, and any filing can be moved in a tap.

API 1169 is the American Petroleum Institute's recommended practice framework that pipeline inspectors and operators expect an inspection record to follow. A "job book" (or turnover package) is the complete, organized record of a pipeline construction inspection — every material certificate, weld and NDE report, coating check, pressure test, and daily log filed into a consistent section structure so the operator can review and accept it. The 15 sections above reflect that structure. A package that's complete, consistent, and correctly filed is faster to hand off and less likely to get kicked back.
