Field Data Collection forArchaeology & Cultural Resource Management
Specialized forms, compliance workflows, and field tools designed by industry professionals - not a one-size-fits-all app.
Every Tool Your Field Team Needs
AI-enhanced analysis, Bluetooth GNSS, voice transcription, offline maps, and a powerful form builder -shared across every industry edition.
The real thing — live records, review status & one-tap exports
Zero bars, full functionality.
Every form, photo, and map works with no signal at all. Records save to your device instantly and sync themselves the moment you're back in range — no “save again when you have service,” no lost work, no babysitting.
Data Preservation & Security
Encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access, append-only audit trail, and daily encrypted off-site backups. Your field data outlives the project.
State-supplied PDFs & .doc forms — filled automatically.
Upload the agency’s official form (SHPO, OAHP, BLM, USACE, state DOTs). Map your FieldTap fields once. Every record exports as filed-ready paperwork — no copy-paste, no formatting drift, no missed fields.
Map once · file forever · PDF · DOCX · agency-compliant
Photos that fill out the form.
Snap a photo and AI identifies what it’s looking at — type, material, condition, classification — then proposes values for the matching fields on your form. Review, tap to accept, edit anything it got wrong.
Snap · review · accept — artifact, soil, structure & species aware
Hand off data without handing off files.
Grant another FieldTap organization scoped access to exactly the projects you choose. Prime and sub work the same live records — no exports, no email chains, no version mystery. When the job wraps, revoke access in one click and keep the audit trail.
One project · two orgs · zero email attachments
How FieldTap stacks up
The other tools are real products with real strengths. Here's where we differ — judge for yourself.
| FieldTap | Wildnote | Fulcrum | Survey123 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| List price / user / year | $348 | $625 | ~$480 with API | ~$540 w/ ArcGIS |
| Works fully offline | sync issues reported | |||
| Custom form builder | drag & drop | fixed form library | excellent | XLSForm — steep |
| Fills state agency PDFs (SHPO etc.) | FieldMap | some formats | ||
| Review & approval workflows | via add-ons | via ArcGIS | ||
| Runs without a GIS ecosystem | requires ArcGIS | |||
| Our honest take | Purpose-built for compliance fieldwork. Young product — we ship fixes weekly and you talk to the founder. | Built for enviro compliance, but acquired by Fulcrum in Feb 2026 — its roadmap is now uncertain. | A genuinely good form builder. You pay for it — API access and integrations are add-ons. | The right call if your whole org already lives in ArcGIS. Overkill if you just need field data. |

Enterprise Security. Startup Pricing.
Your field data deserves enterprise-grade protection without the enterprise price tag. Security isn't an add-on - it's the architecture.
End-to-End Encryption
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Every database query, file upload, and API call is encrypted. Your data is protected everywhere.
Role-Based Access Control
Five user roles (Owner, Admin, Project Manager, Field Director, Field Tech) with granular permissions at organization, project, and record levels.
Immutable Audit Trail
Append-only activity logs that cannot be modified or deleted. Every record creation, edit, approval, and export is tracked with timestamps and user attribution.
No Data Lock-In
Export everything in 10+ standard formats (CSV, Excel, PDF, Word, KML, GeoJSON, Shapefile) anytime. Cancel and take all your data with you.
Row-Level Security
Supabase RLS policies enforce access at the database level - not just the UI. Even direct API access respects your permission boundaries.
SOC 2 Infrastructure
Hosted on Supabase (AWS) with SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure. Automatic backups, point-in-time recovery, and 99.9% uptime SLA.
Sensitivity Classifications
Four-level data sensitivity system (Public, Restricted, Confidential, Protected). Sensitive records are invisible to unauthorized users at the database level.
Compliance-Ready Exports
Generate regulatory-compliant reports directly from field data. SHPO formats, federal reporting templates, and custom compliance workflows built in.
Field data is irreplaceable. We treat it that way.
A record you save in FieldTap does not get lost — with a signal or without one. Every entry commits to your device first, syncs itself when you reconnect, and lands in encrypted storage with an append-only audit trail and daily off-site backups behind it.
Records commit to on-device storage the instant you tap save. Airplane mode, dead zones, basement crawl spaces — it's already safe.
Back in range, every queued change uploads automatically. Two crew members editing the same record merge cleanly — nothing is silently overwritten.
Encrypted at rest and in transit, row-level access control, append-only audit trail, and daily encrypted backups shipped to a separate cloud account.
