For decades, geotechnical engineers have relied on notebooks, Excel spreadsheets, and standalone lab programs to track drilling and testing data. Field crews logged samples by hand, lab staff retyped results, and engineers manually combined files for final reports.
That workflow worked — but only when teams were small and timelines flexible.
Today, clients expect faster reporting, traceable data, and real-time project visibility. The shift to cloud-based geotechnical logging software has changed what’s possible:
Modern platforms unify what used to take several tools — turning soil boring log software, field data management, and reporting into a single connected process.
A strong geotechnical logging workflow connects every step:
| Workflow Stage | Traditional Process | With Modern Logging Software |
|---|---|---|
| Field collection | Manual notes, clipboard logs | Digital forms capture SPT data, recovery, samples, and groundwater |
| Data transfer | Manual retyping or spreadsheets | Automatic sync from field to cloud |
| Lab testing | Delayed start, disconnected results | Lab work initiated from field record |
| Reporting | Manual formatting | Automated boring logs and cross-sections |
| Client delivery | Email attachments | Client portal with live reports and status updates |
This continuous data flow ensures everyone — from technician to engineer to client — works from the same live record. It also reduces the two biggest risks in geotechnical projects: data loss and delay.
If your field, lab, and reporting tools don’t connect, you pay for it in hidden costs:
These inefficiencies add days to schedules and hours of administrative time per project — especially when dealing with multiple boreholes or test sites.
Aldoa eliminates data silos by connecting every step of your geotechnical workflow in one platform.
1. Plan and schedule
2. Capture data in the field
3. Manage lab testing
4. Generate reports
5. Maintain a complete audit trail
Every data point is timestamped and traceable — from field collection to final report.
These integrations keep projects moving without manual file transfers or redundant entry.
Whether your team manages five borings or five hundred, Aldoa keeps your data structured, your reports accurate, and your clients informed.
See how Aldoa connects your field and lab workflows in real time. In 15 minutes, we’ll show you how to digitize your borehole logs, sync lab data, and generate professional reports without spreadsheets.
