The Environmental Data Collection Landscape Is Changing

Wildnote was acquired by Fulcrum in February 2026, leaving many environmental teams uncertain about pricing, feature continuity, and long-term support. Survey123 requires expensive ArcGIS licenses that put it out of reach for small and mid-size firms. Generic form builders like Google Forms and JotForm lack GPS tagging, offline support, and GIS export capabilities.

FieldTap is purpose-built for environmental field work. Offline data collection, GPS-tagged photos, Shapefile and GeoJSON exports, and 60+ environmental form templates - at a fraction of the cost of legacy platforms.

Built for Every Environmental Workflow

From Phase I site walks to long-term remediation monitoring, FieldTap has the forms, photo tools, and export formats your projects demand.

Phase I ESAs
Site reconnaissance forms, photo documentation, historical records review checklists. Standard ASTM E1527 workflow support.
Wetland Delineations
Data point forms, vegetation plots, soil boring logs, hydrology indicators. GPS-tagged to plot boundaries.
Habitat Assessments
Species inventories, habitat quality scoring, sensitive species observations. Works offline in remote areas.
Stormwater Inspections
BMP inspection forms, SWPPP compliance checklists, photo documentation with GPS.
NEPA Compliance
Environmental impact documentation, mitigation monitoring, field verification forms.
Site Remediation
Soil sampling forms, groundwater monitoring, remediation progress tracking with GPS.
