Today, we are thrilled to introduce Hadoona — a modern field data collection platform built for geologists, environmental scientists, and field teams who need a better way to collect, organize, and analyze data in the field.
For years, field professionals have struggled with outdated tools that were not designed for the unique challenges of working in remote locations. Existing solutions like Fulcrum, while functional, often feel clunky, expensive, and disconnected from modern workflows. We built Hadoona to change that.
Why We Built Hadoona
As geologists ourselves, we experienced firsthand the frustrations of field data collection. Paper forms that get lost or damaged. Spreadsheets that become unmanageable. Apps that do not work offline. Data that takes hours to export and clean up.
We knew there had to be a better way. So we set out to build the tool we always wished we had — one that is intuitive, powerful, and actually enjoyable to use.
A Better Alternative to Fulcrum
While Fulcrum has been a popular choice for field data collection, many teams find it overly complex and expensive for their needs. Hadoona offers a refreshing alternative:
- Simpler pricing: Transparent, affordable plans that scale with your team without hidden fees or per-record charges.
- Modern interface: A clean, intuitive design that your team can learn in minutes, not days.
- True offline support: Collect data anywhere, even in the most remote locations with zero connectivity. Everything syncs automatically when you are back online.
- Powerful mapping: Built-in integration with Mapbox for rich, interactive map visualizations of your field data.
- Flexible forms: Create custom forms with our drag-and-drop builder. Support for photos, GPS coordinates, sketches, and more.
Built for the Field
Every feature in Hadoona has been designed with field work in mind:
- Offline-first architecture: We do not treat offline as an afterthought. Our mobile app is built from the ground up to work without an internet connection.
- Battery efficient: We have optimized every aspect of the app to minimize battery drain during long days in the field.
- Rugged design: Large touch targets, high contrast modes, and glove-friendly interfaces for real-world conditions.
- GPS integration: Automatic location capture with support for external GPS devices for higher accuracy.
Seamless Data Management
Collecting data is only half the battle. Hadoona makes it easy to organize, analyze, and share your field data:
- Real-time sync: Changes sync instantly across your entire team when connected.
- Powerful exports: Export to CSV, GeoJSON, Shapefile, and more with a single click.
- Team collaboration: Invite team members, assign roles, and manage permissions with ease.
- Secure storage: All your data is encrypted and stored securely in the cloud.
