Four Field-Data Problems CollectFlow Was Built to Solve
Disconnected photos, late gap discovery, hours of re-entry, and no shared structure: the four failure modes of walkthrough data collection, and what closes each one.
Frequently asked
We have a spreadsheet template that mostly works. Why change?
The template standardizes output, not capture, so all four failures still happen upstream of it. Structured capture produces the same clean sheet without the reconciliation layer that feeds it today.
Does fixing this require changing how we walk buildings?
Barely: space first, then assets inside it, photos and notes attached as you go. The walking order barely changes; where the information lands changes completely.
What does the end result look like?
A reviewed schedule plus an evidence package a client's engineer can navigate without you: see what a finished deliverable contains.
