Use case · Insurance

When the adjuster needs timestamped proof.

Restoration and claim work is judged on documentation almost as much as on the work. What the loss looked like on arrival, what was removed, what the readings were on day three. That record has to be made while the job is happening, because none of it can be recreated afterwards.

"What did it look like before you started mitigation?"

The demolition is done. Whatever was not photographed in the first two hours is now a description rather than evidence.

"We need daily moisture readings to approve the drying period."

The readings were taken. They are on a clipboard, in a van, in handwriting, with no date on the page.

"Can you show the affected area was limited to those rooms?"

Scope disagreements are scope disagreements. A dated set of photographs by room is a different conversation from a walkthrough recollection.

The record

What the file contains.

  • The photo, stamped. Time and date burned into the image — not metadata that gets stripped when it's forwarded. The location is recorded on the report, so a coordinate never rides along in a picture your customer sends on.
  • A name on the work. Which tech, at which address, at which minute. "One of my guys" becomes D. Okafor, 9:14 AM.
  • The write-up from the day. What was found, what was done, what was tested — written when it happened, not reconstructed for the argument.
  • The filed line. Who filed the report, when, from where. The job closed on the record, on site.
  • Sent that day. The customer received this report in August. Hard to claim in March that nothing happened.
In practice

How it shortens the claim.

The claim moves at the speed of the documentation. Producing it once, on the day, is what keeps it moving.

Day one, before mitigation

Arrival condition photographed with the time burned in and the address on the report, before anything is moved or removed.

The drying log

Daily readings photographed with the meter in frame, each one dated. The drying period is documented rather than asserted.

Scope by room

Photos grouped by the job they belong to, so affected areas and untouched areas are both on the record.

The supplement

Additional damage found mid-job, photographed when it was found, with the write-up from that day.

Contents and disposal

What was removed and when, before it goes in the skip. Disposed material cannot be re-photographed.

The homeowner sign-off

The customer was sent the report and answered it, at a recorded time, with nothing changed since.

Straight talk: FieldLog is a record, not a legal outcome. No app guarantees how a dispute ends. What it guarantees is that when one starts, your side of it is already written, stamped, and filed.

The first two hours of a loss cannot be photographed later.

Start free and put it on the phone of whoever gets there first. The documentation that matters most is the documentation nobody has time to think about.
