From field survey to defensible report in one auditable flow

Capture site surveys, track billable hours, and produce traceable biodiversity and ESG reports — all from a single Odoo app built for environmental consultancies and ecological survey firms.

The problem

Client and contract data lives in a CRM or spreadsheet, field survey findings sit in notebooks or point tools, timesheets live somewhere else again, and the final ESG and biodiversity figures get reconciled by hand. When a regulator or client asks “where did this number come from?”, nobody can answer quickly.

The solution

One module joins client sites, field surveys, billable hours and ESG/biodiversity reporting into a single traceable flow. Every figure in a report links back to the field observation it came from, so your team can answer any provenance question instantly.

Capabilities

Everything a consultancy needs, in one app

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Client Sites & Multi-Site Tracking

Record every client site with address, GPS coordinates, surveyed area and primary habitat, then move between many clients and sites without re-keying data.

02

Field Survey Capture

Log baseline, habitat condition, protected species, biodiversity net gain, ESG audit and monitoring surveys, each moving through a Draft to Validated workflow with a full audit trail.

03

Granular Species Observations

Record every species observation with abundance, habitat, conservation status, GPS position and a photo — the evidence trail behind every biodiversity figure.

04

Automatic Biodiversity Metrics

Species richness, total abundance, protected-species counts and Simpson’s diversity index are calculated automatically from your observations, at both the survey and site level.

05

ESG Data with Provenance

Record ESG indicators aligned to EU Taxonomy, Biodiversity Net Gain, GRI and CSRD frameworks, with every entry optionally linked back to the source survey that produced it.

06

Engagements, Quotes & Billable Hours

Run each client engagement as a project with fixed-fee, time-and-materials or retainer billing, track timesheets, and issue quotes — without leaving Odoo.

07

Traceable QWeb Reports

Generate client-ready PDF survey and site reports that present biodiversity summaries and ESG figures alongside the observation data they were calculated from.

08

Public Consultation Requests

A public website form lets prospective clients request a survey; submissions become qualified CRM leads tagged for your ecological survey pipeline.

09

Client Portal Access

Clients log in to view their own sites and surveys and download reports, with access automatically restricted to their own data.

Workflow

How it works

1

Set up the site

Record the client site with its address, GPS coordinates, area and primary habitat.

2

Capture the survey

Log a field survey and record every species observation as your surveyors find them.

3

Review the metrics

Biodiversity and ESG metrics compute automatically as observations and data entries come in.

4

Deliver the report

Validate the survey and generate a traceable PDF report for your client or regulator.
