Fieldwire Doesn't Fix Your Locate Documentation Problem
Fieldwire has no native locate auditing, ticket remark alert, or geotagged locate documentation retention workflows.
How Locate Documentation Actually Works With Fieldwire
The Real Scenario
Locate tickets are reviewed in the field, but utility mark coordinates and proof-of-locate photos are kept on paper and text strings, creating audit liabilities.
What Fieldwire Does Well
Fieldwire is a solid project management platform. It handles:
- +Project scheduling and milestones
- +Document management and RFIs
- +Subcontractor coordination
- +Budget tracking and change orders
Where Fieldwire Falls Short
But when it comes to locate documentation, Fieldwire leaves a gap:
- −No native dispatch board for service technicians
- −No inventory tracking for service trucks
- −Lacks timesheet calculation rules for payroll
Signs You Have a Locate Documentation Problem (Even With Fieldwire)
- !Locate tickets printed and sorted by hand each morning
- !Locate verification photos stored in personal phone camera rolls
- !No system tracks ticket expiration — missed update/remark windows
- !Damage claims require weeks of paper reconstruction
The Cost of Leaving This Gap Open
Underground utility damage costs $30 billion/year nationally. Digging on an expired locate ticket means full repair liability ($10K–$200K+), statutory fines, and voided insurance.
Fieldwire Can't Fix This Because:
Fieldwire has no native locate auditing, ticket remark alert, or geotagged locate documentation retention workflows.
Fieldwire is a project management tool — it wasn't built to solve locate documentation problems at the field level. That's what we build.
