Bookkeeper cannot get necessary information from remote operations staff who avoid paperwork, causing delays and lack of accountability.

Existing communication methods (email, phone, shared drives) are not effective for getting consistent, structured information from field/operations staff who dislike paperwork, leading to missing data and no accountability.

App Concept

FieldData Connect

A mobile-first platform that simplifies data capture for operations staff and routes it directly to the accounting team. It replaces ad-hoc emails and paper forms with structured requests, automated reminders, and a clear audit trail. Field staff can quickly submit expenses, receipts, and job details with minimal effort, while bookkeepers get real-time visibility and can close the books faster.

Key Features
  • Mobile app for operators to capture photos of receipts and submit expenses in under 60 seconds
  • Automated request workflows with deadline reminders and escalation for missing information
  • Real-time dashboard for bookkeepers to track pending items and follow up
  • Integration with accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero) for seamless data transfer
  • Customizable forms for job costing, per diems, and material usage
  • Audit trail showing who submitted what and when, for accountability
Target Users: Bookkeepers and accounting staff in construction, oilfield, and other field-service companies with remote operations; also beneficial for field staff who need a simple way to comply.
Revenue Model: $49/month per company (up to 10 users) with additional $5/month per extra field user, or enterprise tier with advanced integrations.
