There is a lot to gain from MetaField, our construction materials testing software.

Speed & Efficiency

Delight your clients with fast, accurate, verified data delivery to gain a competitive edge and increased capacity to do more billable work.

Quality Control

Streamline the review and approval process with automated workflows and real-time status, standardized forms and processes that centralize information.

Empower & Align

Support your team with cloud-based anywhere access for mobile data entry and remote working with real-time status alerts and cross-functional visibility.

Always-on, anywhere access to project work with construction materials testing software.

MetaField is powered by the latest cloud technology, with no hardware required or software to maintain as you scale and grow. All system upgrades happen automatically without having to incur the costs and headache from large maintenance upgrade projects. MetaField is a complete construction materials testing software solution to streamline and connect the entire workflow.

Scheduling & Dispatch

Optimize staff productivity and assign the right technician for every task when executing scheduling and dispatch in MetaField. Review pending field work alongside availability of qualified technicians. Easily work with multiple schedulers and sort through last minute variables for seamless workflows and stronger communication.

Field Data Collection

MetaField, our construction materials testing software, enables data-driven decision making and project execution by automating the process of gathering, aggregating, and analyzing field inspection data in real time. All project data is collected and managed to facilitate efficient workflows, allowing you to easily prepare and respond to client requests for faster delivery of results and reports.

Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)

MetaField LIMS allows for managing samples with a chain-of-custody process, starting in the field with sample creation, to maintain consistency and compliance. Work queues empowers lab supervisors to manage workloads and ensure all tests are completed on time and include the required specifications.

Accreditation

To simplify the certification and approval process, you need a single source of truth for documents and accreditation-related information. MetaField accreditation capabilities provides a centralized location to store documents and organize information to help meet the R18 standard, allowing you to digitally manage day-to-day lab operations to ensure compliance with your QMS.

AgileStamp® Digital Signatures

AgileStamp is our integrated digital signature solution, enabling secure document approvals in real-time. Powered by DocuSign®, AgileStamp is designed to meet the digital signing needs of multidisciplinary engineering, environmental consulting, and testing firms.

Reporting & Delivery

MetaField Reporting & Delivery is the document repository of all reports created and delivered on a project. A centralized source of information supports a seamless workflow and makes it easier to analyze results, enable quality control, verify delivery and provide reliable and accurate recommendations to project teams.

AgilePort® Document Management

AgilePort is MetaField’s document management portal for to easily publish and store documents, including field observations, test results, summary reports and other deliverables. Project teams can instantly access the documents they need, enabling efficient communication and collaboration as well as greater transparency between project stakeholders and clients.

Report delivery is a huge improvement compared to what we had in place. Reports are protected and delivered in a matter of seconds, and what had been a 20-hour week job is reduced to a few minutes a day.

“

With MetaField, our organization’s capacity has increased. We can take on more projects now that our technicians or project managers are not spending 30-60 minutes each day of transcription time. Overall, the system will allow us to perform more work with less manpower

Alex Fisher, Senior Geotechnical Engineer and Vice President

“

We chose MetaField because of the flexibility of being able to tailor the system to our needs. We like having the flexibility to change our lab or field forms. Being able to be in control of the system is fantastic!

Sara Beth Phillips, lead geologist and geotechnical project manager

“

We came from paper-based data collection into MetaField. This move has allowed us to see project schedules and where everyone is at in the process even across offices. Project managers also can access their reports without coming into the office.

Challenge	MetaField Solution
Report Generation and Delivery The project team doesn’t know where to send reports or which reports need to be signed – there is no centralized location for clients to access history for specific projects.	Teams can see all reports in a central location; digitally sign and deliver reports to clients in batches; audit records; create consolidated reports and project summary reporting; and import external reports.
Scheduling and Dispatch Static tools (Outlook, Excel, whiteboards) used to schedule and track project tasks and resources are disconnected and labor intensive; follow-up work must be manually communicated.	Visibility to capacity, previous work, and certifications; relevant data collection forms are attached to each assignment as work is systematically scheduled; field personnel know exactly what data needs to be collected.
Field Execution Field specialists have little information on where to go, what to do, or the work specifications on a job site; using blank paper forms for manual entry; follow-up communication is often forgotten.	Field specialists can see all project documentation and work order assignments; initiate and complete non-scheduled work; systematically track field work samples; use pre-populated forms with specifications and compliance information incorporated; digitally sign, certify, and deliver results to clients.
Lab Work Lab staff lacks visibility to tests; samples often dropped off with no identification to projects; unknown specifications related to tests; manual data entry for each test performed; minimal knowledge of what needs to be tested in the future.	Visibility to tests via work queues; run multiple tests concurrently; access to pre-defined library of materials specifications; configurable lab test forms; bulk entry and pre-populated data capabilities; data archiving.
Safety Safety programs are often standalone and disconnected; excessive time spent sorting and organizing paper-based, handwritten reports and Job Safety Assessments.	Create standardized, OSHA-compliant safety forms before work is performed; address safety issues in real time; view all safety items by date across all office locations and project sites; set up alerts for follow-up.

Committed to your success

At Agile Frameworks, we are committed to successful outcomes for our clients. The status quo is a very powerful force, especially within engineering services firms because, simply put – you’re busy.

Being able to pause and recognize your workflow, is a hard challenge within the status quo that is put on the engineering services vertical.
