Surveying Services Software
Land surveying companies support construction and oilfield projects with precise measurement and staking services. Aimsio helps surveying firms dispatch crews, capture field data, track costs, and bill for services efficiently.
Surveying Services challenges Aimsio solves
These are the problems that keep surveying services companies from getting paid on time.
Field-to-Deliverable Turnaround
Your survey crews are in the field collecting points, running traverses, and shooting control. At the end of the day, the data comes back on a data collector and gets downloaded, processed, and quality-checked before it can go to the drafting team. Turnaround time from field to deliverable is three days minimum, and clients want it in two.
Multi-Client Scheduling
You're running two field crews, a drone operator, and a utility locating subcontractor on the same project. Each party has a different schedule, different deliverable format, and different billing rate. Coordinating them, tracking their progress, and pulling their costs together for a single invoice takes more time than the fieldwork.
Report Approval Delays
Your real property report has to go through the surveyor of record, meet the municipal approval requirements, and be in the client's hands before their possession date. The approval process involves three external parties and runs entirely through email. When a step stalls, you find out when the client calls asking where their report is.
Survey crew management from dispatch to billing
Aimsio gives surveying companies the tools to dispatch field crews, track project costs, and automate billing for surveying services.
Aimsio has been a great tool for me and my team to manage our daily operations. One of my favorite features is the estimate section, which allows us to quickly create detailed, accurate proposals for our clients.

Answers to what surveying companies ask us most.
What is surveying services software?
Surveying services software is a platform designed to manage the operational and financial workflows of land surveying companies: crew dispatch, field ticket capture, equipment and time tracking, job costing, and client invoicing. It connects field crews with office teams and accounting systems in a single system built for project-based survey operations.
How does Aimsio help surveying companies dispatch crews efficiently?
Aimsio's dispatch board gives coordinators a view of crew assignments, equipment scheduling, and active projects. When a new project callout arrives, you can assign the right crew and equipment in minutes with certification requirements visible before assignment. Notifications can be sent to field crews via SMS or email from the dispatch board, with project details accessible through the mobile app.
Can Aimsio handle multiple crews and subcontractors on a single surveying project?
Yes. Aimsio's Jobs module lets you track multiple crews, drone operators, and subcontractors against the same project. Hours, equipment usage, and costs are captured in Aimsio against the same project, giving you a consolidated cost view for billing and reporting. This eliminates the coordination overhead that typically takes longer than the fieldwork itself.
How does Aimsio handle client proposals and estimates for surveying projects?
Aimsio's estimate section lets surveying teams build detailed, accurate proposals by selecting from client-specific rate books and standard scope items. Estimates can be duplicated from similar past projects, dramatically reducing the time to produce new proposals. Once approved, estimates can be converted into a price book and linked to the job for billing.
Does Aimsio work for survey crews in remote areas with limited connectivity?
Yes. The Aimsio mobile app supports offline data entry, allowing field crews to log hours, capture field ticket details, and record equipment usage without a cellular signal. When back in a connected area, a manual sync pushes everything through, so no field data is lost between the survey corridor and the office. This is essential for survey crews working in rural, forested, or remote corridor environments.
What accounting systems does Aimsio integrate with?
Aimsio integrates with QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, Sage 300, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Microsoft Business Central, NetSuite, Acumatica, ADP, and more. Approved field tickets flow directly into your accounting system as invoices and billable items; no manual re-entry required. See the full list on the integrations page.
