One record, from lead to paid invoice for every survey job

Land Surveying & Mapping runs the whole survey-firm lifecycle — scheduling crews and instruments, tracking staged field-to-office tasks, organizing deliverables, and billing against contracted milestones — in one Odoo 19 app.

The problem

Survey firms run a project-based business spread across spreadsheets for crew and instrument scheduling, network drives for CAD and topographic files, and separate accounting software for invoicing. Office staff lose time reconciling who was dispatched where, chasing the latest signed drawing, and rebuilding what has actually been billed against a project's agreed scope.

The solution

Land Surveying & Mapping models the real survey lifecycle on one project record: staged tasks from measurement to report, crew and equipment assignments, deliverables organized by stage and linked to their milestone, and billing that always shows what is contracted, delivered, invoiced, and paid.

Capabilities

Everything a survey practice needs to run a job

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Staged Survey Project Lifecycle

Every project moves through a configurable task-stage workflow — measurement, data processing, report generation — on a Kanban board, so the job status stops living in people's heads.

02

Crew & Equipment Scheduling

Assign a surveyor and a specific instrument to a project, location, and timeframe with a start/end datetime and status, closing the dispatch-coordination gap that spreadsheets leave open.

03

Deliverables Organized by Stage

Attach CAD drawings, topographic maps, and compliance reports to the task and milestone they belong to, with a signed/sealed flag and a revision code, so the latest deliverable is always one click away.

04

Milestone Billing Tied to Scope

Define billing milestones with an amount and status, link each to the invoice it generates, and track whether it is paid — so billing always matches contracted scope, not guesswork.

05

Project Cash-Flow Visibility

Every project shows contracted, delivered, invoiced, paid, and outstanding amounts alongside a computed progress bar, so managers stop reconstructing billing status by hand.

06

Survey Equipment Registry

Track total stations, GPS units, and other instruments by asset tag, type, serial number, and availability state, with every assignment history visible from the equipment record.

07

Printable Survey Proposals

Generate a client-ready proposal report straight from the project record, so what gets quoted, delivered, and billed always trace back to the same document.

08

Internal Knowledge Repository

Store field procedures, safety guidelines, and compliance standards by category so crews and processors always work from the current version, not an emailed attachment.

09

Team Communication on Every Record

Projects, tasks, and deliverables carry a full chatter log and activity tracking, so job-related discussion and handoffs stay attached to the record they concern.

Workflow

How it works

1

Open the Project

Create the survey project with client, site, and parcel reference, then define its billing milestones and contracted amounts.

2

Schedule the Field Work

Assign a surveyor and the required equipment to the site with a start and end time, so dispatch is visible to the whole office.

3

Move Tasks Through Their Stages

Track measurement, data processing, and report generation on the task Kanban, with deliverables filed against the stage that produced them.

4

Deliver, Bill, and Get Paid

Link the signed deliverable to its milestone, invoice the milestone, and watch the project's cash-flow figures update automatically.
