More than a report generator

Research, drafting, review, delivery, field work and the everyday work around a project, in one workspace your whole team shares.

A project in Environmental Nexus: Cypress Creek Solar with its next step, the reports chosen and their progress

Research and drafting

Pick the reports. The research and the first draft come back together.

Place the site once. Everything the chosen reports need is researched for the site and its study radius, and each draft comes back with its maps, tables, appendices and citations.

  • Draw the boundary, upload a KML, KMZ, shapefile or GeoJSON, or pick parcels by address, number or owner.
  • Every value names its source, and desktop data says it is mapped data.
  • When project details change, the drafts that depend on them are marked for an update.

Fill gaps

Only what the record can’t say comes back to you.

Fieldwork, surveys, restricted records and professional judgement are listed as plain questions, grouped by kind. Answer one, attach a file, or mark it not available, and the draft follows.

  • Each item says what is needed and where it goes in the draft.
  • A gap stays visible in the draft until someone answers it. Unknown is never written up as “no impact”.
  • An item no one can answer is marked not available, with the reason, and the draft says so.

Review and approval

Read, edit, comment and approve in one place.

Change any paragraph or table cell and your wording carries into later versions. Ask a colleague to review, and see in one list what still stands between the draft and approval.

  • Comments on any paragraph, with replies.
  • Approval records who approved which version, and when.
  • Approval is an internal step: your licensed professional still signs and issues the report.

Calendar and mail

The project’s dates and emails next to its reports.

Site visits, deadlines and meetings sit on a calendar that syncs with Google Calendar and Outlook. Email the client from the project, from your own address, with your templates and signature.

  • Repeating events and guests who answer from the email.
  • Every email kept with the project it belongs to.
  • Team chat by project, so the decisions stay with the work.

Field app

Photos, forms and inspections from the field, even offline.

Crews take located photographs, fill in the official forms and record inspections on a phone or tablet. Work done without a signal is kept on the device and sent when it is back online.

  • A photo log with a map of where each picture was taken.
  • USACE and Florida wetland forms, printable as a field packet.
  • Stormwater and spill plan inspections with their follow-up items.

Lab imports

The laboratory’s file in, the results tables out.

Import the lab’s electronic results for a Phase II or a monitoring event. Each result is compared with the Florida cleanup target levels, and anything above them is called out for your geologist.

  • A check before saving shows what the file holds and what needs a look.
  • Results land in the report’s tables and figures.
  • Your professional makes the decisions; nothing is concluded for them.

Phase I records

Phase I records and historical aerials, organised for you.

The records search, the county records to request and historical aerial photographs by year come together for the environmental professional to review and classify.

  • Interviews, the questionnaire and the site visit in one record.
  • Requests to counties and agencies tracked to their answer.
  • The environmental professional and a second signer named on the report.

Your clients’ projects, kept apart and kept safe

Consulting work is confidential. The workspace is built around that.

  • Walls between firms

    Every request is checked against your firm and your role, and the database itself keeps each firm’s data apart.

  • Kept in the United States

    The application, its database, files and encrypted backups stay on servers in the United States.

  • Encrypted

    Every connection is encrypted, backups are encrypted, and connected-app keys are encrypted for each firm separately.

  • Files checked for viruses

    Every uploaded file is checked before anyone can open or download it.

  • Two-step sign-in

    Authenticator apps and passkeys on every plan. On Firm and Enterprise, owners can require it for everyone; Enterprise adds single sign-on.

  • A history nobody edits

    Changes, approvals, exports and deletions are recorded in an activity log your firm can review.
