Surveying operations software
PLN helps survey companies manage the operational chain that generic project tools miss: job intake, planned fieldwork, surveyors, instruments, vehicles, activity logs, reports, and invoice-ready records.
Each task keeps the client, location, survey type, due date, price, assignee, attachments, comments, planning history, and invoice actions together.
Managers can plan single-day or multi-day surveys, assign surveyors and resources, and see scheduling context before field work starts.
Logged hours, distance, expenses, comments, task status, and invoice history stay connected so admin work does not restart from scratch.

Everything a survey company normally asks before booking a demo is answered below: the workflow, the actual screens, the modules, how field crews use it, who it serves, how it differs from generic project tools, and what it costs.
Operational workflow
Surveying project management software has to hold more than a checklist. In PLN every step writes back to the same job record, so the next person to open it does not start from an empty screen or a forwarded email.
Capture the client, address or coordinates, survey type, assignee, priority, price, due date, attachments, and comments in one structured job file.
Build single-day or multi-day field plans with start and end times, private notes, and tentative schedules before a date is promised to the client.
Assign surveyors, instruments, vehicles, and materials with existing bookings and approved absences visible in the same calendar.
Work time, distance, expenses, photos, comments, and status changes are logged against the task while the crew is still on site.
Create the invoice from captured pricing and activity, export PDF or DOCX, and keep payment status attached to the job it came from.
Product tour
These are the real screens, not illustrations. Switch between them to see how the same job appears to the office in the morning, to the manager planning the week, and to whoever prepares the invoice.
Operational overview
Active tasks, planned surveys, closed work, and logged hours sit next to the priority queue and the exceptions that need a decision today.
Task record
Managers see scope, client, team, due dates, pricing, attachments, comments, planning, and activity without chasing updates across tools.
Orders and lineage
One order often becomes several survey tasks. The grouped view shows what was ordered, what is already running, and what still has to be created.
Schedule visibility
Calendar filters help managers coordinate crews, instruments, vehicles, planned surveys, and approved absences from a single view.
Billing
Billing staff review contacts, task line items, tax, payment type, dates, and exports without manually rebuilding the job from notes.
Inside the workspace
PLN is deliberately narrower than generic project management software. It covers the areas where survey data has to agree: what the instruments are doing, what the crews recorded, who the client is, and what has been billed.
Equipment, vehicles, and materials are not just lists. Calibration, check-and-adjust, insurance, and inspection dates are visible during planning, so availability is known before the crew leaves.
Activity log, monthly reports, time tracking, and potential payout are calculated from work already recorded. Choose a total price or an hourly rate per task and the summary updates itself.
People and companies are stored with their contact details, and each record shows how many tasks and invoices belong to it, so history is one click away instead of one search through email.
Invoices are filtered by status and contact, carry issue and due dates and totals, and export to PDF or DOCX from the record the survey work already created.
Office and field
Survey work is decided outdoors. PLN stores the location context the field needs, and the app carries assigned work, task geometry, control points, photos, and chat into the field while the office sees the result immediately.
Benchmarks, GNSS reference points, and temporary nails keep their coordinates, note, and picture so a point set two years ago is still usable by whoever is nearest today.
Task areas are shown on the same map as the control point layer, so crews can see which points actually serve the job they are heading to.
A point opens with its note, its photo, and a navigation action, and the camera guide shows bearing, remaining distance, and position accuracy for the last stretch on foot.
PLN System Mobile
The mobile app is currently in pre-release testing with beta companies. Crews open the tasks assigned to them with the full detail the office entered, and record what happened without waiting for the evening.
Built around responsibility
Project management software only survives if everyone in the company gets something from it on the first day, not just the person who bought it.
See workload, active jobs, pending invoices, logged time, and where manual coordination is quietly slowing delivery down.
Plan crews, confirm equipment, avoid absence conflicts, monitor due dates, and keep clients moving without a wall of spreadsheets.
Know the assigned work, location context, planned time, equipment, vehicles, comments, and what still needs to be done on site.
Manage contacts, task pricing, invoice statuses, PDF and DOCX exports, payment terms, taxes, and company settings.
Comparison
General project tools handle tasks and deadlines well. They struggle at the points where surveying is a physical operation with instruments, coordinates, crews, and regulated equipment dates.
Pricing
Founding beta access is free until 31 December 2026. After beta, the plan decides how many users and how much storage the workspace has, not which modules you are allowed to open.
EUR 9 / month
USD $10 / month
EUR 29 / month
USD $32 / month
EUR 59 / month
USD $65 / month
USD equivalents are approximate. EUR remains the primary listed billing currency. Extra users and storage can be added as the team grows.
Questions
It is for survey company owners, project managers, field surveyors, and billing teams that need task, planning, resource, activity, and invoice context in one workflow.
PLN focuses on survey operations: task records with location and survey type, field planning, equipment and vehicle context, absences, activity logging, reports, contacts, and invoice export. Generic tools handle the task list but not the instruments, coordinates, and billing handoff around it.
Yes. Task geometry and a company-wide control point register give crews the location context, and the mobile app, currently in pre-release testing with beta companies, carries assigned work, photos, comments, time logging, and chat into the field.
That is the usual reason companies move. Task lists, crew plans, equipment notes, activity logs, and invoice details become one connected record instead of separate files that stop agreeing with each other.
Yes. Instruments, vehicles, and materials are stored with serial numbers, calibration, check-and-adjust, insurance, and inspection dates, and that status is visible while work is being planned.
Yes. Invoice records are built from task pricing, contact details, line items, taxes, and payment terms, move through draft, sent, paid, and cancelled statuses, and export to PDF or DOCX.
The survey workflow is configured out of the box, so a company can create real tasks on the first day. During the founding beta we also help map your current job list, statuses, team roles, and workflow into a clean setup.
Plans start at EUR 9 per month for 2 users and 5 GB, with Professional at EUR 29 and Enterprise at EUR 59 per month. Every plan includes the full feature set, and extra users or storage can be added separately.
Your company owns its project, client, team, activity, and billing records. Key records can be exported, and beta users can request workspace deletion through support. PLN is built in Lithuania, in the EU.
