Take Photos as part of the Survey.
Good photos reduce the need for detailed descriptions, and speed up the survey process. Markup the photos with coloured lines and arrows.

The photos are considered to be an integral part of the survey and are sync’ed to the OTISS website along with the other survey data.
Maps & Drawings
Upload your site/topography plans, CAD drawings, Ordnance Survey Mastermap, PDFs and geo-referenced maps. Also available are: OpenStreetMap, Google Street and Aerial Maps.
Reports
OTISS does not force you to use a particular report format. Instead we provide a set of customisable charts and data tables (PDF and Excel), maps and CAD; for you to encorporate into reports and work schedules.
Benefits of being ‘online’
