Fieldwire by Hilti is a site tracking software and mobile application that helps construction teams communicate and collaborate, both in the field and in the office, replacing paper and IT tools. This mobile and web-based software allows you to

• coordinate teams in the field
• monitor the progress of tasks in real time,
• and centralise all project plans and documents on a single platform.

Suitable for general contractors, subcontractors and project owners alike, Fieldwire facilitates communication and operational management of worksites, whatever their size. What sets Fieldwire apart is that it can be used quickly by field teams on their mobiles, is robust in offline mode, and integrates seamlessly into existing processes.

With Fieldwire, construction teams can easily and efficiently manage their tasks, plans and documents to track the progress of their projects and ensure they are completed correctly. Today, Fieldwire is already used on more than one million projects worldwide to :

• Consult plans and their modifications, allowing all users to consult and annotate them, and automatically update them with the latest version
• Carry out on-site checks and reports, document defects directly from the application, add photos and videos to jobs, and generate reports at the click of a button
• Manage projects, optimise processes and centralise documents such as FQRs and deliverables

Fieldwire offers four types of subscription to suit teams and projects of all sizes. The company also offers customised plans for projects or companies of any size.

What are the main features of Fieldwire?

Task tracking and schedule management

Fieldwire lets you assign, plan and track tasks directly on site plans. Each task is geolocated, making it easy to view the work to be carried out and its progress in real time.

• Precise assignment of responsibilities by zone or batch

• Status tracking (to do, in progress, completed) and history of modifications

• Automatic notifications for members concerned

• Use in offline mode with subsequent synchronisation

Example: a site manager can assign a team of electricians a task located on the plan for installing light fittings in a given room, with a defined deadline. The workers can update their progress directly.

Centralised management of plans and documents

The platform lets you store, view and annotate plans directly from the application. This means that all teams have access to the latest version, avoiding the errors associated with out-of-date plans.

• Import of PDF plans, synchronisation with Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.

• Compare versions and view changes

• Add annotations, markers and visual comments

• Mobile and tablet access in the field

Example: a works supervisor can annotate a plan to indicate a reserve or an upcoming modification, which will be instantly visible to the team concerned.

Automated site reports

Fieldwire allows you to quickly generate progress reports, meeting minutes or visit reports, based on data collected in the field.

• Customisable report templates

• Automatic integration of tasks, photos and annotations

• Export to PDF for sending or archiving

• Scheduling of recurring mailings

Example: after a weekly coordination meeting, the software automatically compiles the tasks created, photos taken and annotations to generate a PDF report sent to all those involved.

Real-time team communication

Fieldwire provides a centralised communication channel tailored to the context of the site. Each message or comment is associated with a specific plan, task or document, eliminating the need for dispersed email or SMS exchanges.

• Discussion threads linked to tasks or plans

• User mentions to notify a specific person

• Exchange history accessible to all

• Instant sharing of photos taken in the field

Example: a worker identifies a defect in a partition. He takes a photo, adds it to the task concerned and notifies his team leader, who can react immediately.
