Aldoa: A Modern Alternative for Field Data Management & Technical Reporting
Looking for a field data management and reporting alternative? Aldoa offers engineering and CMT firms a lower-cost, more flexible solution for data...
Borehole logs remain the foundation of every geotechnical project — from site characterization to final reporting. Yet many firms still rely on gINT, Excel, or PDF templates that can’t keep up with modern project demands.
As Bentley transitions gINT into extended support through 2028, firms are actively searching for modern, cloud-based alternatives that simplify data collection, standardize reporting, and connect field and office teams in real time.
That’s where Aldoa’s new Borehole Logging Software comes in — purpose-built to help geotechnical engineers move faster, eliminate manual entry, and deliver polished reports with less effort.
Borehole log software allows engineers to record, manage, and visualize subsurface data captured during drilling or sampling. Common inputs include:
Traditional workflows in gINT or Excel require manual data transfer and formatting. Modern solutions like Aldoa automate this process — connecting field, lab, and reporting data inside a single cloud workspace.
gINT has served the industry well, but its desktop architecture and complex templates are showing their age. Engineers cite these common limitations:
As projects scale and clients demand faster turnaround, these friction points directly impact productivity and profitability.
Aldoa is a cloud-native field-to-report platform designed specifically for geotechnical engineering and construction materials testing firms. With Aldoa, you can:
We're working directly with geotechnical engineering firms to build customizable borehole log templates that meet ASTM standards and firm-specific formatting needs.
Key capabilities include:
This means no more cutting and pasting Excel rows—or toggling between desktop apps and Word templates.
Borehole data is only as useful as the context it's tied to. With Aldoa, you can:
This is particularly powerful for multi-site investigations, municipal infrastructure projects, or environmental corridor studies, where field data needs to be referenced quickly by location.
Tired of exporting your borehole data into Word, then manually formatting headers, footers, and tables?
With Aldoa, your borehole logs feed directly into editable PDF or Word reports, so you can:
As your library of borehole data grows, so does the value of being able to query and analyze it at scale.
With Aldoa, you can:
This transforms borehole logs from static documents into living data assets.
Unlike older vendors where form changes take months and added fees, Aldoa offers:
We believe that good software should fit your workflow, not force you to change how you work.

While some tools focus on general field data collection (like Fulcrum or Survey123), and others are outdated (like gINT), Aldoa is purpose-built for geotechnical workflows, including:
Whether you're a small geotech firm or a growing CMT operation, Aldoa scales with your team and helps you spend less time formatting reports—and more time analyzing data.
The best borehole log software depends on your firm’s specific needs, but many geotechnical and construction materials testing (CMT) teams are moving away from legacy tools like Bentley gINT. Engineers now look for cloud-based platforms that make it easier to collect field data, manage lab results, and generate standardized reports without relying on complex desktop installations. Aldoa is a popular choice because it combines borehole log creation, lab data management, and automated reporting in one modern platform—helping firms save time and reduce errors.
Yes, Bentley still provides support for gINT. However, its desktop-only design and steep learning curve make it less practical for today’s fast-moving engineering firms. Many organizations find that gINT hasn’t kept pace with modern expectations for collaboration, cloud access, and integration with lab testing systems. That’s why more geotechnical professionals are evaluating gINT replacement options like Aldoa that are simpler to use, more affordable, and built for the workflows of 2025.
Firms are switching from gINT for three main reasons:
Ease of use: Aldoa’s interface is intuitive and doesn’t require extensive training.
Cloud access: Project data can be accessed from anywhere, unlike gINT’s desktop restrictions.
Integrated workflows: Aldoa connects field data, lab results, and reporting in one system, eliminating the need for multiple disconnected tools.
Migrating from gINT to Aldoa is straightforward. Our team works with you to import historical borehole logs and data, ensuring nothing is lost. Once migrated, you can immediately start creating borehole logs, managing lab data, and generating reports in a modern, cloud-based environment. Most firms complete migration and onboarding in just a few weeks.
Legacy tools often lock you into:
With Aldoa, you get:
If you're still managing soil boring logs in Excel, gINT, or legacy software, now is the time to upgrade to a modern, cloud-based platform.
Aldoa offers everything geotechnical engineering teams need to manage field data, visualize borehole logs, generate professional reports, and collaborate more efficiently—without the high cost or complexity.
