What is DataScope?

DataScope is a tool to manage work teams and collect data in the field in an efficient and simple way

Written by Jessica Franco

DataScope is a platform to digitize, manage, and automate your company's field operations.

From a single place you can manage assets, plan work, run inspections and tasks, handle issues, and analyze information in real time.

The platform centralizes your entire operation: what gets checked, where it happens, who carries it out, what gets detected, and what actions are taken. Your team works from the mobile app, even without an Internet connection, while the information stays available in real time so you can oversee the operation, generate reports, or integrate it with the systems you already use.


1. Organize your operation

Before you start executing work, you can set up the structure of your operation so it reflects how your company actually works.

Locations

Register your plants, branches, worksites, projects, or any location where your operations take place. You can organize them in a hierarchical structure to make planning, task assignment, and data analysis easier.

Assets

Register the equipment, tools, vehicles, facilities, or any other asset that requires tracking.

Each asset can include:

  • Asset type.

  • Custom fields.

  • Location.

  • Associated meters.

  • Permissions by user or group.

  • Full history of inspections, maintenance activities, issues, and completed work.

Meters

Link meters to your assets to record cumulative or variable values, such as operating hours, distance traveled, cycles, or consumption.

Meters can be updated directly from forms while work is carried out in the field, and used to trigger maintenance based on the asset's actual usage.


2. Plan and assign work

Forms

Build forms from scratch, use a template from the library, or ask the AI to generate a first version from a description of your process.

Forms can include, among others:

  • Photos.

  • Signatures.

  • Geolocation.

  • Checklists.

  • QR code and barcode scanner.

  • Asset and location selection.

  • Calculated fields.

  • Conditional logic.

  • Validations.

  • Required fields.

Plannings and tasks

Schedule recurring or one-off tasks, assign them to users or groups, and set the location, date, and time for completion.

You can also configure:

  • Automatic notifications and reminders.

  • Recurring plannings.

  • Calendar-based preventive maintenance.

  • Maintenance triggered automatically by a meter reading, so you can service assets according to their actual usage.


3. Carry out the work in the field

Users complete their activities from the mobile app for iOS and Android.

If the device has no Internet connection, the information is stored locally and syncs automatically once network access is restored.

While working, users can:

  • Complete forms.

  • Record inspections.

  • Update assets.

  • Carry out assigned tasks.

  • Capture photos, signatures, and evidence.

  • Scan QR codes or barcodes.

  • Record their location where applicable.


4. Manage Issues

When a failure, a deviation, or any situation requiring follow-up is detected during the operation, you can create an issue.

Each issue can be linked to a specific asset and to an issue type that defines the information to be completed.

From the Issues module you can:

  • Assign owners.

  • Set priorities.

  • Track progress.

  • Record the actions taken.

  • Close the loop while keeping full traceability linked to the asset.


5. Formalize your processes with Verified Electronic Signature

DataScope lets you sign forms and documents using Verified Electronic Signature to support audit and regulatory compliance processes.

Its main capabilities include:

  • Available in more than 50 countries.

  • Support for internal and external signers.

  • Configurable signing order.

  • Predefined signers per form.

  • Bulk signing from the web platform.

  • Validation QR code on every signed document.

  • In Chile, documents include validation with the Dirección del Trabajo (Chilean Labor Department).


6. Analyze and connect your information

All collected information is centralized and available in real time so you can monitor the operation, build indicators, and share results.

You can:

  • Review dashboards.

  • Export information to Excel.

  • Generate PDF documents with custom layouts.

  • Set up automatic report delivery by email.

  • Query your data with Ask DataScope.

You can also integrate DataScope with other tools through:

  • API.

  • Webhooks.

  • Google Sheets.

  • Zapier.

  • Microsoft Power Automate.

  • Power BI.

  • Looker Studio.

  • MySQL.

  • PostgreSQL.

  • BigQuery.

  • Microsoft SQL Server.
