Connected logistics startup LoadDocs is helping the construction industry with the challenge of completing paperwork while on the road.
Combining its proprietary system for capturing and transmitting images with smartphone connectivity, LoadDocs allows field workers to submit essential documents directly from the job site to the home office.
Field workers simply photograph a document, assisted by guides on the camera screen to help with framing. LoadDocs’ technology takes care of the rest by automatically cropping, rotating, and adjusting image colors to produce an as-good-as- original electronic copy.

In addition to digitally sending documents, field workers can attach photos, retrieve date and time details, and add location information. Pacific Gas & Electric’s network of contractors, for instance, is using LoadDocs to complete safety and inspection documents to enable real-time visibility of their project status from the field.
LoadDocs is designed to manage a wide range of common industry forms, including bills of lading, safety forms, site checklists, inspection reports, and expense reports.
In addition, the system works regardless of cell service. LoadDocs is designed to capture and store images the worker takes; when it detects a stronger signal, it automatically transmits the documents to the home office.
