The CRM Workflow Problem

Most CRM firms still run fieldwork on paper forms, personal spreadsheets, and consumer apps never designed for archaeological data. The result is predictable: inconsistent records, lost data, and hours of post-field reformatting before anything is SHPO-ready.

  • Paper forms get lost, damaged, or illegible in the field
  • Spreadsheet data varies between crew members - no standardization
  • Hours spent reformatting field data for SHPO submissions
  • Photo logs are manual - matching photos to proveniences is tedious
  • No single system connects field data to deliverables

Frequently Asked Questions

What forms does FieldTap include for CRM work?

FieldTap includes pre-built form templates for every phase of CRM fieldwork: shovel test pit (STP) logs, excavation level records, feature records, artifact catalogs, site recording forms, photo logs, and daily field journals. All templates are modeled on common SHPO submission formats and can be deployed to your crew in minutes.

Can I customize forms for my state's requirements?

Yes. Every form template in FieldTap is fully customizable. You can add, remove, or reorder fields to match your state SHPO's specific requirements, then save your customized form as a reusable template for your entire team. We also continuously add new state-specific templates based on user requests.

Does FieldTap work offline in remote field locations?

Yes. FieldTap is designed offline-first for remote archaeological fieldwork. You can create records, fill out forms, take GPS-tagged photos, and work without any internet connection. All data syncs automatically when connectivity returns - no data loss, no duplicate entries.

How does FieldTap handle photo documentation?

Every photo captured in FieldTap is automatically tagged with GPS coordinates, a timestamp, and compass direction. Photos are linked directly to the record they belong to - whether that is an STP, a feature, or a site overview. No manual photo logs, no matching filenames to proveniences after the fact.

Can my whole field crew use FieldTap?

Yes. FieldTap supports team-based workflows with role-based permissions. You can assign survey areas to individual crew members, review their submissions in real-time, and maintain quality control across multi-site projects. Plans scale from solo practitioners to large CRM firms.
