Structured forms that don’t fight you.
Required where it must be, optional where it should be. Built per Place — a feed-lot is not a bank branch.

Workpads.
A field notebook that survives the field. Structured forms, photos, audio and signoff — so a single pass through a feed-lot, a furnace floor, or a branch lobby produces a complete record. Offline-first. Open export. Built with the people we cover.

Photos attached to fields, not to records.
A photo lives on the entry it documents — not in a separate bucket. The reviewer sees them together every time.
EXIF · timestamp · GPS optional03
Audio on every entry.
Tap-and-hold to record. Transcribed when there’s a signal. Useful for the half-sentence you couldn’t type fast enough.

Offline-first sync.
Works when it can. Syncs when it can’t. Conflict resolution that favors the person who was there.

Pen rotation, on the rail.
Cal walks 48 pens before dawn. Three required fields, one optional photo, one audio quip on the entries he’s not sure about. The record prints on a label roll on the corner of his desk before the morning crew arrives.

Shift handoff in five questions.
The third shift gives way to the morning shift. Five required questions, three weekly photos, two attached audio clips for “what to watch for.” Eight months in, average handoff time is down 41% and the foreman has stopped printing.

Two days on a feed-lot in Sioux Falls
Workpads field crew rides the third shift with the ops lead. Pen rotations, weather windows, and the small arithmetic that keeps the place running.

Shift handoff, redesigned
Three plants, three handoffs, one workflow Workpads helped tighten. What changed, what didn’t, what the foremen actually said.

Branch ops, plainly
