Custom workflow
Helping you work more quickly, efficiently & accurately
Rugged Data is fully tailored to your way of working, guiding you step-by-step through your process so you never have to worry about missing a step. With smart form features like mandatory fields and conditional logic, it streamlines your tasks, making it faster and easier to get your job done.
Offline functionality
Unlike many field services mobile apps, Rugged Data works offline, which means you can continue to complete forms while in data dead zones. Your forms will simply sync to the cloud when your connection is restored.
Advanced calculations
Reduce mistakes and save time with automatic, advanced calculations. Rugged Data can calculate averages, apply formulas and convert units within the app. Do the maths, instantly!
Auto tagging & geolocation
Eliminate laborious ‘housekeeping’ by automatically tagging reports with the date, time & geolocation to evidence your work and minimise discrepancies.
Capture photos
Highlight areas of interest with annotated images, and add date stamps to easily communicate issues or evidence work.
Auto ID
Scan barcodes directly within the app for efficient asset and equipment tracking.
Use near-field communication to wirelessly tag assets and log interactions such as check-ins and patrol routes.
Digital signatures
Capture digital signatures to quickly close-off reports, so you can wrap up the job and move on.
Customisable risk matrix
Select risk rating based on custom parameters to ensure a more relevant and comprehensive evaluation in accordance with your own level of compliance.
Maintenance & support
Our friendly UK based support team are here to help, providing things like regular security patches, compatibility updates and more to keep your tech running smoothly.
A single source of truth
Powered by The Hub
The Hub is a two-way, central data repository that is an integral part of Rugged Data’s functionality. The information you capture in the app while you’re out on the job feeds directly into The Hub and can be turned into fully branded reports in no time at all. Conversely, The Hub feeds data into the mobile app, to provide a single source of truth across all users and sites.
