GPS-stamped test results: proof you were at the board

“Were you actually on site?” is a question nobody enjoys being asked three months after the job — by a builder, a project manager, or an auditor. Field Efficient can answer it for you: each reading can carry a GPS stamp captured at the moment you recorded it, resolved to a street address, attached to the record for good.

Captured when the reading is

When location capture is enabled, the fix is taken as the reading is saved — not when you get back to the office. The record keeps the coordinates, the resolved address, and a map link, alongside who recorded it and when. Combined with signed, tamper-evident reports, that makes a chain that's hard to argue with: this person, this place, this reading, this time — sealed with the report's fingerprint.

Who this is for

  • Contractors on commercial sites: attendance evidence for builders and PMs without a separate sign-in app.
  • Businesses running crews: confidence that the readings on the schedule were taken at the board they describe.
  • Anyone facing an audit: a record that carries its own where, not just its what and when.

You decide where it appears

Location is captured only where it's been turned on, and the report is a separate decision: the location line prints on the PDF only when you choose to show it. Keep the GPS trail as internal audit evidence, or put the address right on the client's report — both are one setting away, and your testers always know what's being recorded.

The short version

A reading with a place attached is evidence; a reading without one is a claim. Field Efficient lets you capture the place for free, at the moment it matters, and keep control of where it shows up.

Field Efficient turns your test data into branded, standards-validated reports — automatically.
