Field work, documented the moment it happens.
Flowterra is a field service operations platform for crews on the road — jobs, GPS, on-site photos with timestamps, equipment tracking and a clear status semaphore. Built to fit how your company already works.
Currently deployed in road traffic signage operations. Adaptable to any field trade.
By the end of the shift, half the information is already gone.
Nine years across electrical work, plumbing and road traffic signage kept showing the same failure modes:
Materials nobody can recall
By end of shift, no one remembers the exact quantities used or where they were installed.
Equipment on the wrong site
Tools and machines get dispatched to the wrong job — the crew arrives without what they need.
Illegible or late paperwork
Handwritten records come in incomplete, delayed, or not at all.
Back office runs blind
Information reaches the office late and inaccurate — mistakes and unnecessary kilometers pile up.
The real workflow — no invented magic.
These are the actual steps the platform runs today.
- Step 01
Create the job
The dispatcher creates a work order, assigns a technician or crew, sets priority and location.
- Step 02
Assign & schedule
The job appears on the weekly plan of the assigned people. Everyone sees what they own for the week.
- Step 03
On-site documentation
In the field: GPS location, before/after photos with timestamps and coordinates, industry-specific line items (paint color, stripe width, etc.).
- Step 04
Status semaphore & close-out
Job status updates to a color-coded semaphore — pending, in progress, done. Back office sees the truth in real time.
Only the features we have really built.
These features are live and used in operations today. Nothing here is a roadmap item.
Jobs & work orders
Create jobs, assign technicians or crews, set priority.
GPS & map view
Geolocation for every job, plotted on a map for the dispatcher.
Weather on the dashboard
Current weather conditions shown per job site — critical for outdoor trades.
Status semaphore
Color-coded status per job: pending, in progress, done.
Photo documentation
Before/after photos captured with GPS coordinates and timestamps.
Weekly plan
Overview of scheduled jobs and tasks for each field worker for the week.
Equipment tracking
Tools and machines tracked, including battery swaps.
Technician records
Named workers assigned to jobs — clear accountability.
Detailed job line items
Industry-specific fields (e.g. paint color, stripe width for road marking) captured per job.
Field crews with recurring on-site work.
Currently in production in road traffic signage.
- Road traffic signage & marking
- Electrical contracting
- Plumbing
- HVAC
- Construction crews
- Cleaning crews
- Technical inspection
- General maintenance teams
Transparent, no seat traps.
Two line items. That's it.
Implementation & setup
Master template copy, customization to your fields and workflows, initial data setup and go-live.
Monthly fee
Charged per team lead (crew foreman). Field technicians on the crew are included.
Nine years in the field. Same problems every time.
I've spent nine years doing field work myself — electrical installations, plumbing, and most recently road traffic signage and marking. Across all three trades I kept hitting the same wall: by the end of the day, nobody could reliably say exactly what was installed, where, or with what.
Equipment ended up at the wrong site. Paperwork came in unreadable or not at all. The back office was always a step behind reality — which meant more mistakes and more kilometers driven for nothing.
I started building Flowterra to fix exactly that. Not a generic SaaS you have to bend your company around — a platform that adapts to how you already work.
