Ecobot Collector

Ecobot

About this app

Ecobot Collector is the mobile app for field data collection within the Ecobot platform. Built for environmental consultants, wetland delineators, stream assessors, and natural resources professionals, Collector streamlines how you capture environmental field data, map geospatial features, organize photos, and complete required forms in the field. Collector reduces repetitive data entry so you can stay focused on the scientific expertise your clients rely on.

Ecobot Collector works with Ecobot Manager, the web-based part of the platform, to create a connected field-to-office workflow. Together, they keep your data consistent, organized, and ready for reporting across environmental consulting projects.

WHY ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS USE ECOBOT

Accurate environmental field data
Standardized data entry, photo organization, calculations, and built-in references support clear, defensible wetland, stream, and natural resources documentation.

Built for real field conditions
Collect data online or offline. Collector saves entries locally and syncs when back online. Unsynced data alerts help ensure nothing is missed in the field.

Faster environmental workflows
Smart defaults, automated calculations, improved survey views, and updated navigation reduce time spent on paperwork and rework.

Consistent team data
Unified mobile and web workflows help environmental consulting teams reduce variation and deliver reliable results. Project Merge and Project Transfer support team changes and large project management.

Connected to Ecobot Manager
Review, manage, QA/QC, and export data from the web with enhanced photo tools, mapped features, and standardized environmental forms. Two-factor authentication and role-based permissions provide stronger team controls.

KEY FEATURES

Environmental field data collection
Capture vegetation, soils, hydrology indicators, OHWM observations, and more. Add geotagged photos, build automated photo logs, and work offline during wetland delineations, stream assessments, and natural resources surveys.

Standardized wetland, stream, and environmental forms
Use USACE Regional Wetland Determination Data Sheets, USACE Rapid OHWM, and NC DWQ Stream Identification forms. Collector automates dominance ratios, prevalence indices, hydric soil indicators, and required calculations.

Integrated geospatial mapping
Map points, lines, and polygons. Navigate to features. View geolocated photos. Use mobile GPS or GNSS receivers. Jump directly to features and photos from the home screen.

Advanced environmental photo tools
Capture, organize, favorite, and rotate field photos. Use incremental loading for faster viewing. Review and QA photos in Ecobot Manager.

Survey and workflow enhancements
Distraction-free survey views, color-coded statuses, improved feature navigation, and new survey management tools.

Team and security features
Project Merge, Project Transfer, device naming, unsynced data alerts, two-factor authentication, and role-based permissions.

Secure data storage
Ecobot uses AWS-backed infrastructure so your environmental project data is safely stored, backed up, and accessible.

Ecobot is built by environmental consultants and used by leading AEC firms. With connected mobile and web workflows, Ecobot helps teams collect accurate environmental data, reduce rework, and deliver consistent, defensible results for wetlands, streams, and natural resources projects.

Ratings and reviews

This app excels at streamlining wetland work. For our roadside projects that involve dozens or more wetlands along a route, it is indespensible. I have a few nitpicks, such as giving met indicators for some soils and not others, but overall using the app and desktop manager is a great experience.

I use this program for work. It has drastically cut down on the amount of time spent in the office with data sheets. Being able to file out wetland delineation data sheets in the field and exporting the PDFs in the office has been a game changer.

This application has transformed our workflow, making fieldwork efficient and saving valuable time in the office. The intuitive design streamlines processes, and the Ecobot team is exceptional. They actively incorporate user feedback, continually improving the app to enhance functionality. Their support is unmatched—friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. This app and its team set the bar high for efficiency and service. Highly recommended!
